Dear Sisters, 06/04/11
Please pray for my family that have been disunited for 3 months now due to a falling out between our son and his fiance, and my husband and our son’s sister. Both sides have made mistakes, some worse than the other, but they
both need to forgive and forget and reconcile to one another. Unfortunately
I cannot make either side apologize, and it is putting a strain on my marriage and all of my family relationships because I want to forgive and go on. Our son and fiance have a 15 month old baby, and I want to be a part of his life.
My husband doesn’t want to have anything to do with our son and his family until our son and fiance apologizes, and vice versa. In addition to all of this stress, our son just lost his job as a pipefitter a week ago. Please pray for our family to be reconciled and whole again, and please pray for our son David to
get a long lasting job as soon as possible. Lastly, please pray for the salvation of my husband S.M., our son David M. and our son’s fiance C.M. and for the
devil to be bound in our family forever. Thankyou for your prayers and kindness. In Christ, J.L.M.
We pray for reconciliation in your family, for peace as you live with this pain and the grace of openness for all those involved in the falling out.
Loving God our Father, I bring before You four people who are seeking You, Sally, Christopher, Bethan, Mark, Gill, break down the strongholds that stop this from happening, put with the right people and may your will be done in their lives.
Give me wisdom let no person be turned away from You because of me.
We will pray that they will come to know how dearly God loves them.
Please pray for Noah that he would be cured – completely – of anxiety, attention deficit and depression. He is so young (pre-teen) and living with these disorders. Fear is controlling his life. Please also pray with me that God would bring friends into his life. He hasn’t any true friends to speak of and is frequently excluded from social events that his peers/neighborhood kids organize.
Also, please pray that our neighborhood would turn into a more loving environment. It is a middle-class neighborhood, yet the people are quite distant and unfriendly. Several of their children have bullied my son. It breaks my heart to see such cruelty.
Thank you so much and may God Bless You!
Noah’s mother
Oh Katie, how awful it is for such a young boy to be living with anxiety and depression, and how sad that he is being bullied! Both Noah and you must feel so hopeless. We pray that God may send caring and competent people into his life.

Slow Recovery from the Death of Our Only Son and Other Ongoing Daily Hardships(Financial Hardship,Health Issues and Other Deaths in our lives) & Sorrows….
July 10,2011.
Dear Sisters and Community of Prayer,
Thank you for praying with us daily in our long struggle to God’s Peace and Hope under painful and sorrowful circumstances! With the help of your daily prayers and God’s Mercy we are able to continue to stay at our Post!!
Please continue to pray with us daily for God’s Healing,Protecting Peace and Hope! Our hearts our so heavy with pain,sorrow and exhaustion it goes beyond words!

PLEASE keep us in daily prayer Now and in the days ahead..July,August,Sept.2011,2012…or as long as possible?? Please if Possible?? Can you pass or e-mail our prayer intention on to other Communities(Women&Men) of prayer that you know of in the World?? Thank you for your prayers and kindness in our dark night of the soul!We will keep you in our daily prayers! In his Mercy! Bill and Carol. Husband and Wife in Hope! Bill and Carol. oh.usa
Thank you for updating us. Your slow recovery is a testimony to grace. I am inspired that in your refusal to give up faith you can be “Husband and Wife in Hope.” We will continue our prayers for you. Peace definitely doesn’t come overnight.
God, I pray that you save our marriage. My husband, Jakub, left 4 weeks ago. We had a fight again because of his mother and sister. They do not want me in my husband’s life and have influenced him to leave me. They do not understand that when a man marries, his priority becomes his marriage and his wife. The friction caused by his family was too much for my husband and he grew tired. I pray God gives my husband the strength to return to me and save our marriage. I pray God gives him the wisdom to not be guided by the negativity of his family and that he realizes that I have provided him with unconditional love and support. I pray his heart will remember the good moments in our relationship and that there are greater things ahead of us. I pray that his mind, body and spirit will guide him back to me. I truly love him with all my being and I believe he loves me. I believe in you Divine Master that you will give my husband all these things and bring him back home to me. I believe you will save our marriage. Thank you and God Bless.
I would like to request prayers for my husband, who has been unemployed for more than two years. When we married, he was taking over his family’s business, then lost the business. A year later, he got a job he hated and lost it after a year. Then he got a good job that lasted three years. Because of this, we’ve been stuck raising our daughters in a neighborhood where there are gunshots at night. I once pulled into the driveway and there was a pit bull jumping around my car barking. I think my husband is sinking into a depression. This has been a great challenge to my faith. I a had faith before I got married, but it’s been so hard. Please pray for us.
Dear Sisters,

Dear Sisters,
I am discerning a call to religious life. I don’t really know how to proceed. I am in the process of looking at and contacting several communities. I pray that if this the direction I am to go in than God will open the doors to the right community for me. I don’t know if I am to remain in the area I live in or move to another province or even to the U.S. One community I am involved with has only 3 older sisters in Canada. If I was to join them I would have to move to the US. But I will go where ever God wants me.
My only desire is to serve Him, and my brothers and sisters in need
Christine
Dear Christine,
We will remember you specially in our prayers. In fact, if you’d like I will ask one of our sisters here in the Motherhouse to be your prayer partner. She would keep you and your discernment in her prayer every day. Let me know. You are in a sacred place on your journey, and I trust that God sees your desire and is walking beside you as you discern. By the way, you’d be very welcome to come across the river and visit our motherhouse.
Peace!
Sr. Mary Bea
It would be wonderful to have a prayer partner during this process. I have been to the mother house twice in July. Once for the ‘A Nuns Life Summit’ and then I can back for a personal retreat. I stayed at the hermitage and attended Mass daily at the Mother House.
Oh, yes. I remember your being here and staying so faithful to your retreat. I’ll email you a sister’s name.
plz pray for me as it’s very urgent for me to have a goverment job as soon as possble
Good afternoon Sister MB,
I am just wondering if you had a chance to pass my name to a sister? I know now how I am to serve but I don’t know where and could use some extra prayer for this. My heart is aching and I pray that God would either take this desire away or open the doors.
Hi Christine, I asked one of our retired sisters whom I see in chapel a lot. to be your prayer partner, remember ing you specially in her prayer every day. Her name is Sr. Elaine Garety. She is very happy to pray for your discernment. Maybe you could pray for her as well, since she is facing surgery. She thought it was fitting that she should be praying for you at a time when life is a bit tough for her as well.
Thank you very much, I will keep her in my prayers
Thanks, Christine. I’ll tell her. I’m sure this will mean a lot to her.

Hello, my name is Mike Frankel and I was wondering if you can pray for my girlfriend Jennifer Bunnell. She just received a bone marrow transplant June 6th and I would appreciated it if you can pray that her bone marrow donor’s cells form new bone marrow in Jennifer’s body and that she is cured of her leukemia. I also would appreciate it if you can pray that there are no major complications including graft vs. host disease during this process. We have been through a lot the past 7 months and I know the good Lord has brought us this far and he will heal Jennifer fully. Thanks so much, its greatly appreciated. God Bless you all.
I am seriously ill with a chronic stomach disorder. Please pray to Jesus, Mary and Joseph for the grace for all my sufferings in union with Christ crucified to be salvific for me and for others. Also, please pray for my immune system to function properly and for me to be completely healed.
For God to heal my daughter’s mental health by banishing any anxiety, depression, obsessions, and compulsions, especially those about boys, texting, social media, and feelings of inferiority. For rational thought to be restored and self-esteem to be improved so that she will be able to focus on her college life and make better choices in relationships.
Please pray to Jesus to shower His special blessings on Mother Mary Beatrice on her golden jubilee profession anniversary. Also, please pray to Jesus to grant her His grace to remain in Him to the very end. She is the Mother Abbess of a Cloistered monastery in South India.
Please pray for my son to accept the Lord as his savior, be filled with the Holy Spirit and delivered from sin and for godly people to come into his life to mentor him and help lead him to the Lord. Please pray also for my daughters home to sell quickly.
We ask for you to pray to the Lord for Frank and Beth, and for their son Matt, that God may give them the strength and faith to persevere through these difficult times. In Jesus’ holy name we pray. Amen.
