Little girl looking 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. Help Now >

  3. Dear Lord, I pray for the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Please, Lord, allow him to run the country with honesty, integrity, and fairness. Help Congress surpass their agenda of opposing him for the sake of opposition and help them come together for the good of the country. Lord, please help him bring our country back to greatness. Help him overturn Obama's legacy of bad policy and legislation. Lord, our country needs a miracle. Bring the light of God into this new administration. May the Blessed Mother, wrap her mantle around everyone in Government, Congress, and the President's cabinet. Bring us peace, joy, and prosperity, In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!Please Lord, put an end to the Anti-Trump movement (it's a movement solely motivated by hate, Lord) in this country which only serves to hurt the country and the things the President and his administration wish to accomplish!
    Dear Lord, please, help the Trump administration (his family) overcome the investigation into the Russian hacking... help what they have found amount to nothing that can distract and hinder the President's agenda. Please, Lord, allow him to govern wisely, honestly, and with integrity. Please let Congress unite in a just and honest governing of our country. Allow all the good our President has already done to come out and overshadow the minutia that seems to have overtaken what is really important. Please, Lord, for the sake of our country and it's restoration to greatness, help the President do his job well and without opposition. Amen!!!
    Thank you, Lord, that our trip was a success, with so many moments of grace and blessings. In Your Precious and Holy Name, Lord!!! Please continue to bless and grace our friendships that our hearts will always be united, strengthen our friendships, Lord! In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!
    Dear Lord, Please receive my son, CJ, at the Foot of Your Cross. I place Your Blood that was spilled on the ground on my lips, that it may not go wasted but instead purify my lips as my prayers float up to the Throne of Our Father. I thank you for the healing he received when he was released from the "stronghold" on his heart. Please continue the healing to full restoration of his hope and trust in You, and bring him to the fullness of Your Love. Please, Lord, he still has desires of joining the military. If it is not within Your Will for him, please remove these desires and replace them with Your Will on his life; that he may fulfill Your purpose for him. Lord, I am afraid. I do not want to see him go off to this futile war of evils. I place this prayer at the Foot of Your Cross, that it may be cleansed and purified before it reaches the Throne of Our Father; that the Father may return them renewed and restored. Please, Lord, bring CJ the desire to pursue a career in law enforcement to fruition. Bring him the tools, resources, and perseverance to bring his desires to completion, if it is Your Will, Lord. Replace his desire for the military with his desire to serve in the FBI. Lord, if it is Your Will. I place CJ in Your merciful and loving arms. Bring him peace, joy, and prosperity. Help him to live a life dedicated to fulfillment of his purpose and commitment to his faith. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Blessed Mother, wrap him in your mantle and be with him always throughout his journey. Amen!!!

  1. Please, Lord, I ask that you please bring light and love to Congress. Help them come together for the countries sake. I don't think any of them really care. The President is trying and the hate and disrespect directed at him, by the media and the left is hindering what he wants to accomplish. Please lift the President, Lord, he gets so much ugliness, negativity, and evil, how can he overcome it. He can't we need to pray for him. Pray for Congress that they do the right thing, for the good of the country and not their self-imposed agenda. Don't let us lose the majority come this election period. Your Will be done, Lord. We need a miracle to bring our country back to greatness. There is so much division and evil, by people on all sides. Lift our country, Lord. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!

    Dear Lord, please, if it is Your Will that I should meet someone else to share my life, please, Lord, make him kind, caring, compassionate, loving, funny, and generous. May we share the same beliefs and values. If You choose to let me live out my life singly, please, give me the resources and energy to continue to live my life in service to you, Lord. I do get lonely sometimes, Lord, but then you know that, don't You? Blessed Mother, help me be a good mother to my son. Help me make his life with me a blessing, that will lift him up and not drag him down... until such time as the Lord sees fit to send him out on his own... In Your Precious and Holy Name, I pray, Lord. Amen!!!

    Dear Lord, if it is not Your Will for my son, CJ, to go into the military, please remove it from his heart. I'm so afraid, Lord. I know our soldiers really do a heroic and wonderful thing for our country and freedom, but I really don't want to see my son in this terrible war of evils. They all come back so wounded and broken. Please, Lord, remove it from his life, but I pray for Your Will to be done, as always. Bring him godly and supportive friends; friends that will lift him up rather than drag him down. Bless and keep my son in Your Adorable Arms, cradle him always in that love that never ends. In Your Precious and Holy Name. Amen!!!

I promise St. Jude to never forget this favour granted to me by God, and to encourage devotion to you with whomever I meet. I promise Lord Jesus to not make the same mistakes which caused these debts, and to be forever repentant before your throne. Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus. Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be a world without end. Amen.

Pray that The Lord grants me freedom within my mind to choose the right way, the Lord's way, the way of all love and light, because God IS nothing but love...St Raphael stay by my side like you did with Tobaias ...help me to CHOOSE happiness and resist anxiety thank always always always , thank you My Dear Jesus!

  5. Lord and Heavenly Father,

    I pray that my older sister (Huong La) will not be jeopardizing her job occupation as Electronic Technician at SpaceLabs Medical in Snoqualmie, WA. I'm worrying that we will loose our condo home where we currently live in Washington State. I'm afraid that the bank might repossessed on our home and nowhere else to live. But not only that we have no food to eat and feeding our families on the table at dinner time, I'm asking you Lord and Heavenly Father is to save my sister's job occupation and health insurance
    benefit package at SpaceLabs Medical. I'm really scared for her job and her health well being due to her high blood pressure at the company. I'm hoping that she will have a new American operation management, so that way he or she will not put a pressure on her. My sister has worked at SpaceLabs Medical for 30 years with the company, so she provided me and my mother to live and to survive. My wishes that SpaceLabs would give her a job promotion as a lead electronic technician.
