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.

  2. I have been trying to figure out why I am feeling / acting the way I have been, I have come to the conclusion that I am broken , I am over reacting, worrying about everything and trying to take care of everybody , and getting overwhelmed, Matthew 7:3-5 came to mind. When something happens I am always looking / waiting for the worst to happen. I know that I have let the negativity that is around me overcome my mind and harden my heart. Not sure how to FIX this. I now realize that God has been trying to use things that have happened to get to me and now he is using sickness on the closest objects in my life wife and Zoie my dog to break me. I need to do something before he takes them from me for not listening to him.

  10. Dear God,





    I am truly, sincerely, incredibly sorry for every sin that I have done, for failing You and everyone around me. I am so sorry for abusing people's trusts sometimes. I understand I may have manipulated people at times to work to my advantage. Please forgive me for everything.


    Thank you so much for every little thing You have given me in my life. I live everyday being truly grateful for everything that I have. I am just sorry again for not being able to control myself enough and let go of painful things that I should have forgotten.





    Please help me, with Your will, to find a permanent job with a high paying salary. I also wish to win the lottery. I really want to pay off all of my mortgages, loans, bills, support myself, my family and live life comfortably again.





    Please give me the strength to be pure, innocent, honest and forgiving like You. Please give me the wisdom to differentiate what is right and what is wrong. Please give me Holy Spirit to guide me to do the right things all the time. I do not want to sin again and forgive me Lord for making You cry again.





    I ask this humbly in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.





    AMEN

  5. I don't know why my family is having to go through all this stress with our upstairs neighbors now for almost 5 months now. Again, tonight now a new sound of what sounds like drums or the kid upstairs hitting something really LOUD right over our heads. I have so many people praying for this situation but we need more. We cannot seem to get a clear recording every time something happens and the stress of it all has become unbearable. Please Dear Lord, arrange something by Your hand to stop all this stress these neighbors are causing us. Please bring the landlord to do 'Something' to make it stop. We only have 5 months on our lease but not sure we can endure any more. We had 6.5 great years here and now this one neighbor with her 3 kids have ruined our memories of this place. Please Dear Lord the stress is too much. Amen

  12. Please pray for my marriage. My husband doesn't love me any more and wants a divorce

    Michelle, 1/4/2017
  13. My Son and his wife have a young child. We just found out that they have been in counseling because his wife says she no longer has feeling for my Son. He is absolutely heartbroken. She says she's been praying and "God is directing her to end her marriage" but that's not God!! Until now she has always been very devout. Honestly, I think between a new baby, both working full time, money is tight she is confused, exhausted and maybe depressed. She refuses to continue to see this (Catholic) counselor or talk to their Priest. I'm so worried for all three of them and I don't know what to do or say. Pleas pray for them.

    Mary, 1/4/2017
  14. Please pray for healing for my Son, Luke and my Family. Please may the Love of Jesus enter my Son's heart.

    Mcl, 1/4/2017
  8. I would like to make a personal reflection on my sins, my conversion 12 years ago, my spiritual growth, and EXPLAIN MY PRAYER REQUESTS for your monastery. I will explain with special emphasis on the TEXT in capital letters. I became a PRIEST after my conversion as well, and this reflection is a tool for my growth and for you to hopefully pray for my special intentions. My primary prayer intention (for your website) is to remember the poor in spirit in Saint John, some of them homeless or down on their luck. And for those deep and mired in sin who pray for mercy JUST ONCE, with a Hail Mary or Our Father, let us ask in Jesus Christ that they will be comforted by Jesus and Mary, and that their whole burden would be lifted by the Holy Spirit, who hears and gives comfort to all of those who pray ONLY ONCE in a single cry for mercy. Saint Matthew tells us that Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven (5:3). As God, Jesus Christ, and all of HEAVEN DELIGHT FULLY in the suddenly repentant sinner who says just one prayer to God (after not praying and being cold toward God for awhile). PLEASE PRAY the intention that the errant sinners whom you meet and KNOW will SAY JUST ONE prayer and RECEIVE the SHOWER of GRACE THAT COMES FROM MARY the MOTHER OF GOD.
    The Gospel of Saint Mark says that you must love your neighbor as yourself (12:31). For in the community of believers in my church and among you ordained brothers or sisters at your monastery, the DIVINE ORDER is the same. LOVE is the DIVINE RULE. The Holy Spirit is JOYFUL and the WORD is FULFILLED when you LOVE EACH OTHER at the monastery. I am likewise called to love all my neighbors in my local church, and my prayers are with the oblates at your monastery. PLEASE pray that all the ordained in your monastery FOLLOW THIS ORDINANCE in the HOLY BIBLE.
    God has told me and He will tell me again, as He has done before: "PRAY MORE and do the GOOD WORKS in St. Paul." And, as I was saying above, the luke-warm sinner (ME) is the same as the poor in spirit, to whom belong the Kingdom of Heaven, from the Gospel of Matthew. When I started hearing the voice of God in my ears and letting Him touch my spirit with the sensations (like discussed in the theology of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, doctor of the Church), I was yet the unrepentant, but I set out to do His work and I CHANGED my spirit over several years. As I was coming closer to our Lord, I realized that LEARNING the New Testament was part of my training for HIS CALLING, and I read it through until I began to be able to recount some of Paul's theology and APPLY IT to my life. My mental duress and schizophrenia and depression began to vanish and BE HEALED as I added more hours to my Bible study, and my goals to meet the Holy One AS A CHILD OF GOD in peace. Harmony and holy Love all became REACHABLE and worthy of more work. GOD THANKED me IMMEASURABLY after I prayed reverently in the HOLY BIBLE and my MENTAL ILLNESS WAS HEALED BY PRAYER. PLEASE pray that errant pray-ers will RETURN to GOD'S MERCY and PRAY MUCH, and thus IMPROVE their lives.
    But, ABOVE ALL, LOVING GOD more wholly and without temptation to sin again came to be the HIGHEST CALL in my spiritual life about 12 years after the beginning of my conversion and entering the priesthood (I now am 47). After all, holy Saint Matthew proclaims in the greatest commandment that we must "Love the Lord God with ALL your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" (22:37). For Jesus has INSTRUCTED US to "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 13:34-35). PLEASE pray for the intention that parents will LOVE THEIR CHILDREN COMPLETELY with THIS COMMANDMENT in mind.
    Please print out and GIVE a copy of this IN THE PUBLIC FORUM at your monastery, I feel my valuable lessons could help all of you pray-ers to GROW in ONE, in LOVE AND PEACE with GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT and the RISEN LORD JESUS CHRIST. Please pray for the POOR IN SPIRIT, out IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN THE ORDAINED as well. Further, the TIME OF REJOICING IS FAST APPROACHING IN EASTER. VERY SOON we will be celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus, the pinnacle of our FAITH, at EASTER, when we remember the PASSION--His torture and suffering and death on the HOLY CROSS. Let us AMEND our THOUGHTS to His GRACE AND PERFECTION, as this suffering is the ONLY WAY that He could have HEALED US. AND HIS LOVE FOR US MULTIPLIES with each passing day as we keep ourselves at one in His HOLY PRESENCE and His Holy MERCY ABOUNDS and gives us COMFORT and REST.

    Father John, 1/4/2017
  9. Help me to cope with death of father. Help me care for my new baby and daughter and keep them safe and healthy.

  10. Dear Lord, I ask that you please place Donald Trump in the Palm of Your Hands. Give him the grace and wisdom to do right by our country; that we may be restored to the greatness we once enjoyed. I pray for all those who did not vote for him and are now opposing him and making things difficult for him at every turn. Let's place him before the Throne of God. Let all those who wish him to fail consider that if he does, it will be another devastating blow to our country. Let those who oppose him see the wisdom in praying for guidance and wisdom, that he may govern with mercy, compassion, and integrity. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!
