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.

  7. O God our Creator,

    from your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
    You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ.
    Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,
    you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,
    bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel
    to every corner of society.

    We ask you to bless us
    in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.
    Give us the strength of mind and heart
    to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
    give us courage in making our voices heard
    on behalf of the rights of your Church
    and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.

    Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,
    a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters
    gathered in your Church
    in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
    so that, with every trial withstood
    and every danger overcome—
    for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,
    and all who come after us—
    this great land will always be \"one nation, under God,
    indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.\"

    We ask this through Christ our Lord.

    Amen.

  4. Lord Jesus, this morning I come before you to thank you and glorify you for the many blessings you have bestowed on me and my family. Thank you for your love that is surpasses all understanding. I approach your seat of mercy today, presenting my daughter and son to you that you be bring them comfort and consolation. They are going through a very difficult time with the absence of their father who walked out on us and doesnt want anything to do with even the children. They miss him so much, they do not understand and they hurt many of the times wondering when will their dad ever come back. I am lost for words when they are in their deepest moments and my daughter cries endlessly. Lord in Heaven, father of the fatherless, i pray that you may come through for this little ones and truly comfort them, reassure them and be the answers to their everyday questions. May you take away from them any anxiety, self pity, loneliness and instead fill their hearts with the gifts of the holy spirit. May you grant them grace to overcome these huddles in their early and young life. May they always know that you have great plans for them. As they find solace in one another, may you truly bid us with the everlasting love. May they grow to be of service to other men and women and may they come out victoriously amidst the pain and agony. Lord I invite you into their lives, that though challenging raising them alone, that you may give me grace and strength to see them through. Unite us with your everlasting love. May we do well always to honour you and glorify. I offer up our their pain and agony for the glory of your name and for those that mostly need your mercy. May their pain not be in vain but may it bring re-union to other children who are in similar situations that they may experience the joy of both parents. Despite all this Lord, my prayer is that the challenges that they are going through may bring them closer and closer to you Father that they may know you and deepen their personal relationship with you Lord. Forgive my husband Lord for all his sins and faults, may your spirit of wisdom and truth bring him to the realization that he needs to fulfill his obligation as a father to these children. May you see him through in all his activities and give him long life and good health. Teach us Lord to love him even when it is so difficult and even painful. You know our lives and our purpose here on earth and our prayer is that in all this, may you bring us closer and closer to you Father. Mary, pray for us to your son that His favour may be upon these very innocent children and that the will of God upon the lives of these children may be fulfilled. I pray all this in Jesus name.

    Nancy, 1/15/2015
  5.
