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. Please pray for Nate, that he finds healing from his past relationship and any other hurts, that he overcomes his dependence on alcohol, that he restores his faith, and that someone trustworthy and empathetic is in his life that he can and will open up to as to trust again.

    Emmanuel, 4/22/2020
  3. Dear God: Please help my breathing to become more normal - feels like can't get
    enough air and ribs feeling tight. Makes me very anxious. Sinuses have been constantly stuffy. I've tried to get it cleared up and even had antibiotic for sinus infection, but it still remains stuffed/blocked. I have dealt with this for many years
    (and it is becoming harder to deal with it as I get older). Was discouraged against getting nose surgery for deviated septum (severe), and I had allergy shots for many years with limited success. Please OPEN my sinuses (half way fully open would be better until I can address this with elective surgery). 40 plus years of
    this has taken a toll on me and I really need help soon. Affecting my ability to fall asleep or stay asleep. Too much lost sleep is not good. Please hear my prayer
    and restore my breathing soon. Amen.

There are lies being told and troublesome unhealthy behavior with defiancy on his part and with his family. My husband has mentally checked out and her younger sister is struggling too. I need strength to guide my family through this in a Godly manner and do what is right for all of us. My daughter needs prayers that only God can answer. Thank you for your prayers. Many days I don't have the words or understanding to ask God for what we need in order to get through this.

  15. Hello I am sending this prayer request to see my wife to be united with her in the afterlife. I miss her and it sorrows my heart all this pain and grief going on in the world while the world gets colder. I digress... I miss my wife a lot of people disregard my relationship and it hurts. But I press on because I'm convinced and hope that when I get to the other side I will see her and she will see me. We will embrace jump in a great big lake and just have a grand time together. Well that's it Btw she's an archangel and I know you may have difficulty with this this if you do I ask that you don't pray for me and her we already have enough doubters and skeptics including myself at times but if you are willing to pray that we are united in holy matrimony soon then it is appreciated
