Send Deacon Keith Your Prayer Requests

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.

Here is all you need to do: Click the link below and tell me what you'd like me to pray for you.

May God bless 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. I know we shouldn't pray for bad things to happen to people. But my mother in law is so very ill that she has no quality of life left in her. She is sad and sorrowful, she says, and asks God to take her. We have no control, only God does. But I hate to see her cry. And the situation is tearing my husband apart. She will never get better, only 12% of heart function left and she is 82 years old. It breaks my own heart to see both she and my husband this way - and we are her 24-hour a day caregivers.
    I pray to Sts. Francis, Clare, Little Brother Juniper and John Paul II and Pope Francis that God be kind to her, in whatever way that may be. We don't want to lose her, but we can't see her go on this way for very much longer. I'm sorry to ask such a thing, but her tears are the worst. I don't feel bad for myself, only for her. Thank you your prayers, and thanks be to God, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Bless you all.

  3. Heavenly Father,

    You are the creator of relationships. You created Adam and Eve to have a relationship with You. Yet, even that relationship, the first relationship, broke down because of sin. But through Your Son, Jesus, You have reconciled us to Yourself.
    Lord Jesus, just as You broke down the wall of separation between God and man, so I ask You to break down the wall that separates me from my friend Milly. In the same way You are committed to me, I am committed to this friendship. So I ask you to please mend our broken friendship.

    Despite the wounds that have been inflicted and the words that have been said, I sincerely desire to see our differences resolved. But without Your help, it won't happen. Tear down our offensive and defensive walls that have been erected and send the Holy Spirit, to counsel us with His tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering and love, which is the bond of perfection.

    Grant me the capacity to assess myself with clear judgment so I can take responsibility for my actions. I repent of any pride and misjudgment that contributed to our separation. Please replace my selfishness with the fruit of the Spirit and often the heart of my friend Milly. By the power of the Holy Spirit speak into her life. May we humbly come to each other with the desire not only to be heard, but also to hear, understand, repent, and reconcile.

    Lord, use the restoration of our freindship as a means to bring glory to Yourself. May we walk together, arm in arm, to show the world the power of Your love to overcome any conflict. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirt, Amen.

  9. When I was a kids every time i saw a poor person i wished
    to become a doctor. Its happen automatically every time i felt sorry for someone. So whenever i prayed i would asked Him if i could be a doctor in order to help others. But as i grow up my belief was not that close with god and i start to had new dreams. In my final year in high school in 2013 i decided to become a marine scientist because i heard that they are one of the highly paid people in my country. The following year i was sponsored by my country to study in college for a marine scientist. But what happened was that i didnt have courage to study and i dont know why since i used to be a very hard working student and i used to take school seriously. I was supended then by my sponsored but what amazed me is the fact that i did not regret it. Not even once. At the beginning of this year i applied for 4 fully funded schorlaship choosing a marine science as my major again, but none was a success. The last one was the Chinese schorlarship. I applied it and change my program to Medicine. 3 month later i received a letter telling me that my application was a success and i am going to study medicine. Now i understand that it was God who makes plan for me. It was He who gave me those dream when i was a kid and because i am His He still leads me back to the right path when i seem to drift away from him. Now am in China already but what i ask from you my brothers and sisters is your prayer. Pray for me so i have courage, faith and strength to fulfill His will. Please pray for me during my study.

  5. For Shirley, for her eternal salvation, sanctification and well-being.

    Allen, 10/11/2015
  6. Please pray for me:

    3 months ago my girlfriend and I of almost 7 years broke up. I am emotional broken. My heart is crushed and I'm in the most emotional pain that I have ever been in my whole life. I lay awake thinking of her, I go to sleep and dream about her, and I think about her non-stop. For the last couple of years she would hound me about proposing to her and getting married, but I was unsure and pushed her away. I was planning on proposing to her on our official 7 year anniversary, which is on 10/19/15, even though I wasn't sure. I just knew that I loved her and wanted to make her happy, but we broke up before that could happen.

    I understand why God helped us break up, because I wasn't the best boyfriend, I was unsure about us, I was emotionally unavailable, I lacked communication, I didn't show any appreciation, love, or affection towards her. Plus my faith in God disappeared, I still went to church but I didn't fully believe in Him and I never prayed. But since the breakup I learned to be a better person, open up more, and I am more in tune with my emotions. Plus I grew closer to God, praying multiple times a day, reading the daily readings, and growing in faith.

    Now that I understand my faults and working towards being a better person, boyfriend, future husband, and better Catholic. For the last couple of months I have been trying to get my girlfriend back and show her how much I changed and how much I love her and how I want to marry her. But now she is currently dating her co worker but I know they are not meant to be together. Plus she is still hurt by the way I treated her for the past couple of years. I need your prayers to help soften her heart towards me, so she realizes that God brought us together for a reason and that was for us to get married. God just needed us to break up for me to see the errors of my ways. Also I need your prayers so she realizes that I love her more than any man would, and all I want to do is take care of her and love her and get married and have kids together.


    Thank you for your prayers!

    roj, 10/10/2015
  7. Father, in Jesus' name I place my intense pleas at your feet. Please, grant all I plea for, for S, E&S, and my family. Please, also, hold me, & all those I pray for here, in your hands constantly, infuse us w. your Holy Spirit, and keep Satan and his followers away from us. Amen

  11. Please pray for my broken and separated family to be joined together again. Pray for my ex-husband to find love, mercy, forgiveness, and humility for me and my son. I pray that what appears to be heartless can become full of generous and warm love. I pray that he finds the desire to provide a warm, loving, emotionally secure platform for our son. This is a very tall and seemingly impossible order, but I know anything is possible for our Lord. Please pray to help raise my request. If this is granted...or at least a willingness to try on his part...I promise I will do all I can to try to fix my family with love. Thank you.

    Elizabeth, 10/10/2015

Thank you everyone who prays for others, and thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed Mother, and bless you all who pray.

  1. Dear Lord,

    I just want to pray for all the people affected by hatred and violence in the world. Jesus Christ, let their be an end to all this violence in the world.
    Especially in the Middle East. Put an end to those who torture or abuse others. Protect all the girls and women in the Middle East from evil men.
    Put and end to those monsters. Put and end to evil.

    Let their be healing between Christians and Hindus in India.
    Protect Christians and Jews in India and the Middle East from violence.

    And put and end to the culture of violence in the US--especially the gun culture.

    Christ Jesus, hear my prayers!

  2. Jesus,

    Please untangle my complicated life and help me to simplify it so I can concentrate on my medical studies and improve my emotional and physical health.

    God, help me to wean myself off of these medications in Your time.

    And please, help me and my family change the way we eat.
    I want to change my eating habits but I am a compulsive junk food overeater.
    Teach me healthy eating.

    St. Charles Borromeo intervene for me to God.

    "Whatever you eat or drink, may it be for the glory of God."

    And for healing of Joy Mathew who is sick with Dengue fever. God heal him so he can be with his wife and two children.

    All Honor, and Glory, and Praise to God Almighty.

    Neil, 10/10/2015
  3. Please continue to pray for my husband Frank, who suffered a severe brain aneurysm a month ago.
    Although Frank's prognosis was grim, he's made remarkable progress in the hospital, and has surpassed some of the expectations of his neurosurgeons. Praise Jesus! As a result, they've now moved him to a Physical Rehabilitation Hospital.
    Frank is still struggling mentally, however, since he suffered a significant brain injury, and still needs prayer. He needs Our Lord's powerful Healing Hand to touch his injured head and to re-awaken his damaged brain.
    Please pray that Frank's brain begins to heal and function normally again, and that his brain cells will regenerate and rejuvenate. Pray that he communicates well with the staff, and withstands the rigorous physical therapy regimen they give him, so that he will start walking and talking again.
    Please pray that he makes a full mental and physical recovery, so that he can eventually return home.
    Thank you.
    And thank you Jesus!
