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. Dear Lord Jesus -- Thank you for everything you have given us and everything you continue to give us now and int he future. Through you all things have been made possible so many times in my life. You have truly blessed me much more than I deserve.
    Today I ask you bless, guide and be with my attorney Joshua B as he fights for me to keep my home in court. May you be with him and give him the tools to win my case and save my home from foreclosure for me and my boys. Bless the judge G and help him have open mind to see the flaws that the other side has. And please help my boss keep his word and give me more income for my hard work so that I may pay for all our needs and bills.
    This will require a miracle from you and St. Jude. I have the faith of a mountain where you are concerned you have shown me your blessings so many times in the past especially 2 weeks ago when you saved my mother Gloria U from harm during her horrible car accident, and I humbly ask for another today. I am coming to you as a child asking for your divine help so that your will and my will be the same. Forgive me for being weak and losing faith at times, but today I feel calm and await the wonderful things you will do for me and my boys through my attorney Joshua B.
    Through Jesus Christ all things are possible! Please pray for me.
    AMEN

    "They shall again live beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom like the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon." Hosea 14:7
    O Lord,
    You have created me as a unique expression of Your own Love, show me how to share that expression with the World ... Please empower me with everything I need to go forth and shine this little Light of mine - the Light you alone have given me to shine .... Thank you Lord ....
    "No one after lighting a lamp, puts it in a cellar .. but on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the Light." Luke 11:33
    God's Grace is our comfort in times of trouble, and a beacon of Hope amid the darkness of despair .... By opening ourselves to God's ever-present Grace, we know we are loved and cared for, and our Hearts sing out in joyful gratitude .....
    May you know deep in your Heart, that God is not in Love only with what He hopes to make of you in years ahead; He is in Love with what you are right now .....

    Please pray for Aida ....
    Dear Lord,
    You told Your Followers that they could cast their burdens upon You, and that You would take their suffering away ..... I suffer now Lord .... and I ask that You take this burden from me, and bring some relief from the pain and confusion that now fill my Life ... I know that I'm only so strong and that Your strength can help me move past these difficult circumstances and see the goodness in my Life again ....

    How Blessed I am to have someone who understands the deepest part of me .... No matter what I am feeling or going through, You know my Heart, and of all of its shadows ..... Your Wisdom is what I seek, .... Your comfort shields me from the cold and the dark ..... I find Hope and Courage, and a sense of purpose in You that keeps me going even when my days are filled with chaos and disorder .... Thank you Lord for truly understanding me .....
    No one understands my pain like Jesus, who suffered as one of us, and came back to comfort us in our sorrows .....
    You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my Glory, and the One who lifts up my head .... I cry aloud to the Lord, and He answers me from his Holy Hill ..... I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me .....
    "Listen carefully to me, ... Incline your ear, and come to me; so that you may live." Isaiah 55:2-3
    O God ..... this is a scary time for me, and I could use Your spiritual guidance ... I am facing choices that I do not know if I am really prepared to make, and I know that You can see all of the perspectives that I am blind to at this time of distress .... Please help me to understand the bigger picture, so I can make the wisest decisions possible, decisions based on Love, Compassion, and Empathy .... I ask for Your guidance in all my decisions, today and everyday ...... Thank you Lord ....
    "For God alone my Soul waits in silence ... from Him comes my Salvation ... He alone is my Rock, and my Salvation .... my Fortress .... and I shall never be shaken." Psalm 62:1-2
    My Lord and my Savior,
    How much lighter I feel in Heart and in Spirit when I cast my burdens and my cares upon you .... Your strength can do what mine falls short of .... By giving You my concerns, I am able to get on with my Life ... with a more loving Spirit, and a more kind and giving Heart, just as You would want me to .... I thank you Lord Jesus, for always taking from me my heaviest burden .... so I can bring back that spring to my step, and smile to my Soul .....

    Agnes, 12/16/2015
  11. Please pray with me. We recently moved 300 miles away from home because of my husband's job. We left our aging parents. Our kids had to leave their friends and schools. The schools where we moved to are unsafe so I pulled them out and now I am homeschooling. My husband is gone working out of town all the time and it's just the boys and me living in a strange place by ourselves. I feel trapped. I am so tempted to pack some clothes, take the boys and go back home. We still have a house back home that we are trying to sell so I could have a place to live until it sells. We just moved here about 3 weeks ago, but I am so lonely and depressed. I don't like it here. It's a beautiful home and I like the neighborhood, but we are living in a city now. I don't like the fast pace of life here. I miss the mountains back home. I miss the peace and quiet. I miss my family back home. I am so upset about the boys having to leave their schools and their friends. I just want to go back home. That would leave my husband here living by himself, but we are living by ourselves 90% of the time living here with him. I saw him for a total of 10 minutes in the last two days. I just want to go back home. Please help pray that God will give guidance as to what to do. Please help pray for all of those who have lost their jobs and have had to relocate. Please also help pray for those who have lost their jobs. I am so very grateful that my husband has a job. We are blessed. I just didn't want to move so far away. I don't understand why everything has happened the way that it has. It feels like I am in the middle of a dream and none of this is real, but then all I have to do is try to take a quick drive to the store and reality hits me hard when I find myself in the middle of the awful traffic. Thanks for your prayers.
