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.

  4. I would be grateful for any prayers for my family & I. My son is only 10 & is heading toward a path that frightens me. He has become a bully & lies for his benefit. My ex was emotionally abusive & continues his attempts at power & control through our son. My ex has also verbally targeted my very loving, kind, wonderful family. Please pray this situation comes to a quick resolution & the right people see what is needed to make a determination as to what is in the best interest of my son. I take him to Mass when he's with me & we kneel before the Blessed Sacrament, often, and I know Jesus is with my child. Please pray for protection for my family & I. Also, please pray for the one who is causing this pain. May he be filled with the Holy Spirit & his home fill with peace.

  2. I request aid in battle with the demon Asmodeus. I've been afflicted for sometime with mental illness and it wasn't until recently I identified the demon through confrontations in my mind and classified him based off photo graphs and energy patterns. He is very powerful in my life right now and need help separating him from me so I can be free. I appreciate it.

  3. I miss my son John. I was given temporary custody of my son, and i kindly informed my ex, and she moved away. I wasn't comfortable in the way i was going to pick up my son. I was not to tell her and show up with police escort. I thought of my son's well being. He's only 2. I didn't want him to see and hear the horror that would've caused. My attorney is angry that i informed my ex. But, i can't let my son go through that. I love my son. I feel like a failure. I thought by me informing her was a kind thing to do, but now i feel foolish. I just wish there was another way that wouldn't be traumatic for my son. My ex seems to be able to keep my son from me and defy all court instructions, and not held accountable. And me, i tell her what the out come of the hearing was, and i get yelled at. I am disabled and live on a fixed income. U can't afford another attorney. I am so tired of this. This has been going on for over a year now, and I'm tired. I used to see my son everyday, since the time he was born until October 29, 2014, when my ex move 4 hours away . i never abused or neglected her. I want to be her friend for our child's sake. But she makes it so hard now. I forgave her, but she continues to defy what the court says. Please pray for me. But please pray for the safety of my son John, and for his mother too. Thank you.

    Rick, 12/21/2015

  8. Please pray for a dear friend's little daughter and her family. The poor little girl needs prayers and a miracle before tomorrow when she will be dead. I know heaven will hold a wonderful place for her if she doesn't wake up, but it's painful the many things she would never get to experience and achieve if she leaves this Earth so young. She always brightened my day whenever I had the privilege to see her, and she is such a delightful, beautiful, intelligent, innocent little angel. Jesus, bless this young girl, as she knows no evil. Father, I pray that you bless her and her family and friends. Please look after them and please take care of the little girl's beautiful soul.

Our family could potentially lose everything and be publicly shamed for a crime that was committed by my husband prior to his suffering a severe, permanently disabling stroke. My teenage daughters and I are caring for a man who has ruined our lives. I understand justice, but unfortunately we are the innocent victims of his actions. I am left to deal with the consequences of his actions and am doing everything within my power to keep from losing everything while caring for a man who can't care for himself. Please, please pray for us.

    Greg, 12/20/2015
  5. I need prayer for deliverance from a demon. I think I always thought that I might have one, but didn't want to admit it because that would be terrible. What I mean is, I have always had a really hard time looking at girls. I would have these terrible sexual thoughts of all girls (didn't matter the age). I have been walking with the Lord for a while, trying to be obedient and holy, but this has been seriously hurting me. It has caused me to isolate and stay away from situations where girls/ wives are. My fellowship has diminished and suffered because of this. About two weeks ago, the Lord kept telling me to fast. I could hear a slight voice in my mind telling me this. I finally gave in and started doing this. Well, what happened was after fasting for a while and getting in the spirit, I could hear the Lord much clearer, even thought it is a very soft voice. But I also started hearing this other voice. And it would try to disrupt my prayers. The Lord told me that I have a demon in me—something I knew all along, but was afraid to own. The Lord keeps saying, pray, pray, pray. It is wearing me down. He has me praying for hours to get this thing out. This demon is so stubborn. I have no idea how long it has been in there, but I desperately need your prayer. The Lord actually told me that I need to get more people praying. I am prepared to go without food as long as it takes and keep praying, but as I said, I have never prayed this long before. It is very taxing. I need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I could really use it. Thanks so much.

    Cory , 12/20/2015
  6. Please pray for the health and safety of all of my family members and friends, especially those who are currently experiencing medical issues.

  7. My Heavenly Father, my Lord Jesus Christ,
    I pray for my beloved Karen. We had been in a loving relationship for just less than 2 years. we had an argument in mid-Oct because of her misunderstanding on me. She met another guy after our argument, she falls in love with that guy very soon after she broke up with me. Please guide her way ahead, please open the eyes of her heart, please grant her wisdom to know what attributes in a person that she should value most for her.
    I still love her. I still care about her, I miss her a lot.
    My lord, I pray for your help, if it is your will, to restore my loving relationship with Karen. Please let Karen come back to me and commit to our loving relationship, and love each other wholeheartedly.
    I believe that reconciling our relationship will come true only with your blessing.
    My Lord, Please help me re-build my finance foundation, so that I can afford an apartment for my new family after marriage with Karen.
    My prayer is in the name of Jesus, Amen.

  2. I am 41 years old and being bullied by a neighbor, lies have been spread about me by her and her husband and I am being ostracized. I hurt so bad inside by those I thought were friends who turned their back on me. My husband and 7 year old daughter are also being ostracized because of this neighbor targeting me. My son hurts for me seeing how I am treated. All of us are hurt and feel powerless, we struggle to be happy in our newly built home. We just moved in April 2014 to what we thought was an amazing neighborhood. Now no one cares to talk to me, they all "don't want to get involved". I just want my family happy again, the lies to stop, and my family not to suffer with being ostracized and hearing people talk bad about their mother. Please pray for my family.

    Stephanie, 12/20/2015

  4. The Lord showed me in a dream that my friend, Kim, is in trouble/danger. She has allowed the connection between her and the Lord to get broken. She also lost the vision He gave her for her life. He asked me not to contact her, but to intercede. So can we ask the Lord to have mercy on Kim and to forgive her for allowing the connection to get broken. Lets then ask the Lord to intervene in her life and to restore this broken connection between them. And then finally to remind her of the vision He once gave her for her life. (She used to be so sure at one stage.) I am so sad for her. Amen
