Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Let Us Pray

Together, let us pray for the needs of our brothers and sisters.
Please remember these intentions in your daily prayers.

  1. Please pray for my friend Anthony O., who is struggling with homelessness, joblessness, and addiction, among other things.

    May he soon be protected with shelter, clothes, and food. May he resist the impulse and temptation to steal. May he soon find work that will give him financial stability and grow his talents. May he overcome his addictions of pornography, alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. May his auditory, respiratory, and mental health be restored. May he find forgiveness and healing from his many past hurts. May he pull his life together well enough such that he can be a positive paternal presence in the life of his son.

    May his broken relationships with family be mended. May he establish a quality group of friends who care for him, treat him with respect, and lead him toward holiness. May he practice a healthy and holy sexuality. Above all else, may he deepen his belief and relationship with God as he sees the gift's of Jesus' love working in his life.

    May I, Karen, also receive the protection, strength, and grace needed if I am to provide any aid during this process.

Please relieve them of these demons in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ & help me to get better & be able to visit my only grandson who had to be adopted because of my daughter's alcoholism. I offer all suffering for the poor souls in purgatory & pray daily for all prayer requests on this site.
