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. Dear god,
    Help me to focus on the wonderful family and partner you have given me . Help them not to fight over petty things as we need the strength of unity to fight our own inner battles. Save me from dark thoughts that they would be better off without me. Grant me the peace of mind that I can get rest from anxiety and worry so I can secure employment to get out of debt and make a life for the family I know you want me to have in future.
    Forgive me for what I have done wrong , help me atone and make better the lives of those around me . Please help the souls of my grandparents and give my mum and dad peace of mind and take away the hurt and anxiety they feel . Let me remember to always trust you know best and not be distracted by obstacles in front of me . Thank you Lord for never letting me down and keeping me safe .

  3. Reflection of strength for Katie's sorrow and faith .....

    "I was not ready for this Loss, Lord ... I was not ready for how much this would hurt! ... I wait for the day when You will turn this mourning into joy .... I seek Your comfort as I mourn in the shadowy valley of death."
    "Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn, ... you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy." John 16:20

    "Dear Lord, I have tried to follow Your ways, but lately .... that has become very difficult ..... I do not know why you have allowed this tragedy to happen! ... Can you really weave this Loss into something 'good'? ..... Please God, work out Your good purpose in my life .... "

    "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
    nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord.
    For as the Heavens are higher than the Earth,
    so are My ways higher than your ways
    and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

    Katie ..... you can pray to St. Gertrude and St. Frances de Sales for the repose of the Soul of your husband ..... Pray to the Virgin Mother Mary, for she will shower you with her abundant Grace, Love, and Consolation during this difficult time ......

  9. My husband has near constant pain in his body. Started in his late twenties. Now he is 53. Spine- near constant. Hips- he needs to sit or stand and walk around every 10 to 15 min due to hip pain. Feet pain- osteo arthritis setting in, he can only be on his feet a short while then has to sit and deal with spine and hip pain until he needs to stand up again. Left knee in painful. Both ankles painful. Elbows and shoulders cannot bear weight without throbbing or sharp pain. He randomly drops things. Losing mobility every year. Only sleeps about four hours per night due to pain. Pain meds are ineffective or cause allergic reactions. He pushed himself until he could no longer work. He excelled at anything mechanical; automotive, construction, residential maintenance and was a hard working, honest and valued employee. He has Dyslexia, comprehension and memory problems so getting an office or factory job is not possible. He has had life-long Anxiety and Depression from his childhood situation. He goes before a Disability judge Oct 20 but only 25% of all applicants get approval. I make enough to make ends meet but not enough for health insurance or for him to get regular counseling or pain management paid for out-of-pocket. We have no money for substantial savings or retirement. The last seven years since the Recession have been difficult most of the time. I know our situation is not as bad as others out there and I feel selfish for asking for prayer but I will ask anyway. We desire approval of benefits for we can get help and some financial relief. I have been praying for God's Will and for blessings for the judge who will hear his case and really understand my husband is not faking to get benefits. If it is God's will that we do not get benefits, we need the ability to pay the attorney for her services.

  3. Heavenly Father Jehovah Rapha, Thank you for your blessing & grace we received for our family. I beg you to resurrect Melissa left eye to 20/20 vision and make the Uveitis eye disease and swollen optic nerve go away permanently.
    Jesus said, "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13, 14).
    I come to you Heavenly Father today and I have confidence in Your Word, and I take hold of your promises to completely heal my daughter Melissa Ang.
    Please forgive all her sins and remove all obstacles that is preventing her from healing.
    FATHER GOD / JESUS, you are the miracle healer & physician. I believe whatever treatment medication, injection & laser on the eye you have directed us to go to the doctor is to resurrect Melissa's left eye 20/20 vision permanently and making the eye disease go away.
    We trust GOD and have faith that Melissa's left eye will be completely healed by your blessing and healing touch.
    In Jesus name, I pray. Amen!

  4. I give God all glory for His mercy on me and my family. I need God
    to intervene in my case and situation and I need your prayers.
    The head of the management where I work wanted me to gang up with them
    and put my immediate boss into problems, then I refused, then they now
    use a man to write report against me and lay accusations on me, after this
    I was given suspension without verification or query, a panel was set up,
    they concluded investigations and declared me free of any wrong doing.
    But since five months now the report came out, the management
    is yet to call me back to work, I am a Nigeria here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
    with my wife and three kids and equally have family that highly depend on me back home.
    Kindly help me to pray for God to have mercy on me and my family and make
    them to call me back and take away all the troubles from me and make me to
    enjoy peace and divine victory in my life and place of work.
    I really need my job back in Jesus name
    I am equally doing my best to succeed in other fields-business
    but all my efforts have not yielded any good tangible result. I really want
    to be successful in life and bring joy to my family and many that depends on me.
    My dear pray for God to open many doors of breakthrough and success for me
    and direct my footsteps and let me be a blessing to His kingdom. May God perfect
    my life and destiny in Jesus name.
    The great I am that I am, the Adonia, kindly do the things I need most in my life in
    the mighty name of Jesus.
