Praying Hands The Lord be with you! This is Deacon Keith, and I am asking for your prayer requests - especially during the difficult times each of us is facing.

Please click the link below to submit your prayer requests.

Why am I asking you?

Because we must unleash the most powerful force in the world - PRAYER. Let me explain in more detail.

Before calling the Apostles, Jesus spent the entire night in prayer. (Luke 6:12) In His Sacred humanity, Jesus shows us the pattern for our life.

Because you - like me - see the importance of our Catholic faith, YOU can participate in our mission to spread the Gospel to all nations.

Here is how you can: I am inviting you to be a "first responder" by sending your prayer request to me, thereby joining our worldwide movement of praying for one another.

Let Us Pray

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

  1. IN DESPERATE NEED OF A SMALL MIRACLE: I urgently need to get my disabled husband out of an unsafe nursing home. For weeks now following a stroke, Frank has been in an under-staffed, poorly-run facility with dozens of safety and health violations. Not only has he choked there several times, but he's sustained a number of serious injuries, with the staff always claiming they "don't kn)ow how it happened". Because of their neglect and these repeated injuries, Frank has hardly made any recovery whatsoever.
    I need to get my helpless husband transferred out of there before something worse happens.
    There's a much better nursing facility right nearby that I'm begging Jesus to help me to get Frank into. Oh, please pray with me for Jesus to grant us the small miracle of letting their Admissions Staff accept him into their program! The day I married Frank, I vowed to God that I would protect him in sickness or in health, yet I'm breaking that vow every day now by allowing him to remain in that dangerous place where he's being so severely mistreated. I feel like such a failure as a wife! I'm letting down both my husband and God.
    Please, please ask Jesus to let the Staff at this safer nursing home agree to accept Frank there, so that he can finally be treated properly and have a chance to heal. Thank you.

  1. Prayer for negative results on breast us & Mammogram today.

    Norma, 1/4/2016
  2. Please pray for John, and for those who feel their prayers are unanswered ......
    What happens when I ask God for things I think I need? ..... perhaps our answers can be found when we reflect on this poem by Garth & Merv Rosell ..
    "I asked for Strength that I might achieve;
    He made me weak that I might Obey ...
    I asked for Health that I might do greater things:
    I was given Grace that I might do Better things ....
    I asked for riches that I might be happy;
    I was given Poverty that I might be Wise ....
    I asked for power that I might have the praise of men;
    I was given Weakness, that I might feel the Need of God ...
    I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life;
    I was given Life that I might Enjoy all things ....
    I received nothing that I asked for, All that I had Hoped for;
    My Prayer was answered.

    If we pray for God's Will each time we ask for something .... and we are accepting of what He will and will not do for us .... knowing there is a just reason for it .... then, we can resolve that God always hears our petitions ...
    Is it that He is not there or that He is not listening? ..... or is it that we are not paying attention, or that we struggle with abiding by His response? ....

    Jesus prayed, "Now my soul is troubled ... And what should I say - 'Father, save me from this hour?' .... No ... it is for this reason that I have come to this hour ..... Father, glorify your name." John 12:27-28
    "I know, O Lord, that Your judgements are right, and that in faithfulness, You have humbled me ... Let Your steadfast Love become my comfort according to Your Promise to Your servant." Psalm 119:75-76

  6. My wife of 11 years and I have been separated for about 4 months now. We have 3 children and I truly love her and my kids dearly. She decided to initiate a separation because she felt that I did not love her due to my lack of affection and support towards her. While this is true, it did not mean by no means that I did not love her. I always did and still do. It has been 4 months and she still do not want to even talk about reconciliation. I can still see the hurt and anger in her eyes. I know that with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ all will be possible. If you have time to pray for us I will appreciate this. Thank you and God Bless you.
