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 ask for prayers for my marriage. I have not done my part as a husband to make my wife feel loved and respected. I constantly promise to do better but always let her down and hurt her. She is very hurt and angry and is out of chances. I really love her but I'm tired of letting her down. Please pray for me to just move forward and be the man she first married and follow God's laws and not backslide. I don't want to break up and fail God. My wife is such a beautiful woman with a heart of gold! It's me...please pray hard for us. God bless...

  4. Please pray that Jesus grants us a small but important miracle: That the administrators - especially the stern and unforgiving head nurse, Robin - will soften and allow my husband Frank to remain in a private room at the Physical Rehabilitation facility where he's been trying to recover from a stroke he's had. That way, hopefully all the disruptions and stresses that have been interfering with his recovery all along will finally stop, and his healing can finally begin.
    Thank you, and may God bless you.

  8. Anxiety / PTSD / Panic Disorder - Quit drinking 2 years ago, quit smoking cigarettes 6 months later, and 3 weeks ago I quit smoking marijuana. The doctors now tell me that marijuana was the only thing keeping my PTSD and Panic Disorder at bay all these years. I am no longer able to work, or even function as I am now in 24/7 panic attacks. Since I have no job, no insurance, no medicaid I have not been able to receive help. I was given a 2 day supply of anti anxiety medicine, upon which when it ran out I am now in 24/7 panic attacks again and may have to continuously go back to the hospital. Smoking marijuana will take this pain away but I no longer want to use drugs, I just want to be sober, normal and to embrace god's love. Please pray that my anxiety will pass and I will become whole again. I have had a very rough life, that is why I turned to drugs and alcohol, but now the anxiety I have seemingly stems from nothing at all. I will be attempting to go about my day normally and for no reason at all have major panic attacks which cause me to no longer be able to do anything at all. Thank you so much for your prayers.

    Richie, 12/31/2015

  4. My New Year’s resolution for 2016 is to live my life without God. 2015 was the year of unanswered prayer for me. So I will live my life without God, as it did not make any difference when I did believe in God. God has ignored me for the 30 years I have been on this earth, I will now ignore him, if he exists that is. I am now an Agnostic Atheist. Thank You. Mr John King in the United Kingdom.

  9. I've been praying for over a decade that I would find the woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with. Last winter my heart was broken, and I promised that by year's end my faith would bear fruit or die. As the final month bled out I prayed harder than I ever have in my life, only to have God give me the exact opposite of what I wanted. Instead of finding a woman that I want to spend my life with, my little brother got engaged, proving that I can't trust God anymore than I can trust the devil.

    Robert, 12/31/2015

  5. My name is Diane. I have been so depressed with this problem that's been physically bothering me for the past few years. I have been going to eye doctors time after time and not one has helped me. The only things they have diagnosed me with was conjunctivitis, severe dry eye, infection of the eyelids and a whole bunch of other stuff. I have had plugs put in and every antibiotic you can think of and eye drop, but nothing has worked for me. I even went through sinus surgery to see if my sinuses were the cause. I don't know anyone who has this problem, it is worse than dry eyes. It's like having pink eye every single day 24/7 every single season. There is always mucous in both eyes and it moves to my pupils and I am constantly trying to wipe it out, but it's impossible. The more I do it the worse it gets. People do not really understand what I'm going through, it's bad! ....I rarely ever go anywhere because it's embarrassing for me that I can't enjoy things without having to wipe my eyes. I always cancel out on people if I get invited to go some where. Iv'e been on restasis for the last 2 years and it's not doing anything for me. I have to put warm compresses on my eyes 4 or 5 times a day and night. My eyelids are even growing inward from this terrible problem. I really need a prayer to please ask god why he hasn't yet healed my eyes.? I really do believe in him! I just don't understand.

    Diane, 12/31/2015
  6. For peace in the world. That all men and women may live as brothers and sisters in social peace and religious unity. To enlighten and guide all the leaders of our world, nation and community. For the Pope, bishops, priests, religious and for all the Catholics of the world. For our family and near and dear ones. For our spiritual and temporal wants. For good health and long life. That we may go to Heaven when we die. For success in work and studies. For a happy married life for my daughter a safe pregnancy and normal delivery of a healthy baby. For the eternal repose of the souls of our dear departed. Thanksgiving for favours received.

    Lloyd, 12/31/2015

  9. Dear Lord and Virgen of Lourdes,

I am so overwhelmed and I need to finish them soon like today. I am trying to get an extension for a few more days so I can mail them in. I have been very anxious and scared that they might stop my disability. I have filled out many forms and turned them in a month ago and thought I was done. Now I can't sleep because I am nervous if I loose my disability because I can not work and take care of myself. I need disability for my health insurance to cover my medicines and continue seing my doctors. Its just I can't seem to be able to stay strong and I feel weak minded and depressed please help me so I wont give up and help me with submitting my paperwork and getting approved again for my disability. Thank you Amen

  13. Myself Rinzy, a married IT professional in Info park Cochin, Kerala. I am writing this letter to ask for everyone's prayers for the financial crisis me and my husband are facing. My husband is a business man. For his business he took money from so many people and the firm is not running as expected. Also his business partner named Nowshad cheated him. Now we are having financial crisis for almost 1.75Crores. Basically we are from a medium family where we don't have a house of our own. We are staying as tenants in a rented house.
    With my salary I am dying to pay for all the interests and to manage the family expenses. My husband is really tensed about this situation. Almost 30 Lakhs of his money is blocked in his business and others are all the amounts and interest we need to give back to others people from we bought the money. That was the start of our crisis. People from whom he bought money are now asking for money and we are not able to find any solution for our problems. We are now not able to face anyone. Actually we are hiding our self from others.We used to pray every day and as the crisis is getting harder, we are losing all our hope. We don't know how long we can lead our life with this crisis. We used to pray and always wish to lead a Christ oriented happy family life. But this financial crisis we are not able to sleep peacefully itself. Request everyone to please remind us in your prayers. And would be great if you could pray for us not to get into any wrong decisions.

    Rinzy, 12/31/2015
