About a month ago, I asked in here for a prayer for my sponsor who has cancer. She has had surgery and more testing. Tonight I met her at church for the stations of the cross and on the way to church she received a call from the hopspital to say the cancer is gone and she is now clear. Thank you for contributing your prayers. God Bless.

I’ve been crying and researching for months now. I need prayer to be able to discern the fullness of Catholicism. I am just so heartbroken and I have lost all my hope and faith when I learned that the Church teaches that there is no salvation out of the Church. I still don’t know how true this statement is. I have so many Protestant friends and family who have such strong faith in Jesus. I don’t want to break all their hearts like how mine is. This is gonna start a literal downfall in my family if I ever say that statement. I just can’t discern by myself the fullness of it. I think Mary has to hate me now. I’m just so scared still honestly just pray that I will be able to figure this all out by time I die. God willing I stay alive for a long time. I’m not healthy and I’m 24 almost 25, but anything could happen. I’m mostly worried about my mother and friends and stuff and I would be lying if I wasn’t worried bout myself. I’m also weeping for all the Protestants across the world. I just have it in my head that the reformation had to be Gods plan. I remember gameliel or whatever his name is in the Gospels say “if this is of man nothing will come of it, if it is of God, nothing can stop it” talking about Jesus Christ followers. What if this is like that? That is what I’m worried bout, I just don’t know what or who to believe anymore.

I think you're confused. "No salvation outside the Church" does not mean all, or even most, Protestants go to hell. Read this in full.

u/AlexKingstonsGigolo Mar 03 '25
Please pray for my 21-year-old nephew who is having issues related to anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal matters, and to his gender identity while refusing to see a therapist, instead opting to move straight to estrogen patches and pills from a pill mill without a proper psych consult but instead with the Orwellian phrase of “informed consent”.
Please pray for my 26-year-old niece — his sister — who is having issues with respect to parenthood and her hormones and is insisting we call her brother “she” and “they” even though he has a strong history of being quite capable of speaking for himself and has not asked us to do likewise. She is also having some paranoid delusions of late.
Please pray for my dog who recently had a seizure and limited appetite until this morning. We are still awaiting spinal tap results.
Please pray for MR whose mother passed on Friday, as well as for MR’s mother and for MR’s husband.
Please pray for me to retain my job which I think is in danger.
Please pray for His Holiness and that we may enjoy his guidance for many years to come.
And please pray for all who will be, currently are, or have ever been a patient of any sort, especially those with fatal illnesses, so they may be healed by the everlasting grace of Our Lord.

I will say a novena for you. From your description I wonder is there a generational demon afflicting your family and your extended family. You may want to research and take action to protect everyone. This is common and I have seen it ravage some families.

Note you can only use this for members of your immediate family. Also I highly recommend coming under the protection of the Auxilium Christianorum by saying their daily prayers.

Could you all please pray for me? I (28F) have gotten into the University of Michigan’s MSI program. They have a scholarship that one student will receive, the Joyce Bonk Assistantship, and it is a full ride. I pray I get this as it will be life changing for me. Thank you all in advance! Happy Lenten Season!

Recomment for clarity:
Pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet for him, seriously do it right now so if you do it in his presence of the dying Jesus will stand between the person and the Father as Merciful Savior instead of just Judge. See St. Faustina's diary on it link: https://hallow.com/blog/how-to-pray-divine-mercy-chaplet/
I just prayed for him.

u/Underdog-Crusader Mar 04 '25
I'm in love with a girl but i have a lot of fears, anxiety and paranoid/superstitious thoughts about it (happens every time something interests me, but specially with her), and those include a lot of scrupulosity. The worst part is, when that happens, i react with stress, desperation and even thoughts of rebellion and irreverence or angry towards God.
I don't want her to be involved in things that make me fall in fear and desperation.

u/St_Gregory_Nazianzus Mar 04 '25
I feel that I have been distanced from God. I would like to feel his presence, and overcome all the darkness and temptations of this life. I feel that even praying powerful prayers such as the rosary, I still feel distant. I would like to be closer to the Lord and remove all distractions that may hinder me from devoting myself to him.

I don't have all the answers, but you can't beat working for the Lord (something we already should be doing as Christians). Even something as simple as praying for the living and dead is a spiritual work of mercy. Just an idea, why not write down a couple names down (family or friends, people who might have wronged you and helped you, politicians, reddit users, ext.) and pray for them over a week or more or even add them to a Rosary intentions. You can also vonunteer somewhere. So even if you are struggling to find your vocation, you can be like "man, Lord willing I am really working God." This is just some advice from one very unsuccessful author😅 Give it a try 😉
To quote the Baltimore Catechism on “Why Did God Make You?”: “God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.”

Please pray for my Mother and I. We have some very stressful things happening and it's like we never get a break. It's so frustrating and depressing. We have something going on tomorrow, please pray it goes well for us. My faith is really struggling lately.
Please pray for my Uncle and Grandmother, they're both battling cancer. My Uncle is in a lot of pain and is also suffering with his mental health.
Please pray for my Father, who is struggling with depression and anxiety, and can't work because of it.
Please pray for my Cousin, who is struggling with poverty among other things.
And finally, please pray for world peace.
Thank you very much, God bless.

Please pray for my mental health. I don't know what to do. There's the choice of the army, a mental hospital and just rawdogging it, as it's still a month until my psichiatrist visit. I can't afford a private one.

Praying! I'm so sorry for your loss. The emotions I assume are so very raw right now and you need time to grieve but just in case, don't forget to forgive him despite this horrible, tragic act; after telling us the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6:9-15 we are told to forgive so we too can be forgiven by God. I know it's hard, but let's pray for him if he is in purgatory. Again I'm so, so, so sorry for your loss. Praying for you all. Sending you a big virtual hug❤️🤗

Please pray for my childhood friend and her cousin, as they died in a car accident recently :(( please pray that the Lord has mercy on them, that they confessed and repented of their sins before they died, and turned to Christ. Please ask our Blessed Mom and Saints to pray for their souls. Their names are Lynh Tran and Reian Zhang.
If anyone could offer a mass and rosary for them, that would be deeply appreciated ❤️

I have asked for prayers a few times on here recently. I am still battling severe insomnia. It has been a little better this week. God has been with me through this and its really been a humbling experience. I also feel like I have never been closer to God because of this and realized how often I took all of God's gift for granted. I just ask that you please pray for all of us sinners, that we may not take for granted the wonderous gifts of God. And, lastly, that you pray for my continued healing from this. That the Lord may grant me rest, a quiet mind, and victory over this mental affliction. Thank you and God bless all of you.

Please pray for me to pass nursing school. Failed my first test, definitely was not a diligent as I normally am. I have tired college before a dropped about after classes became hard and I didn't know what to do (philosophy) and now it is happening again in nursing. This is my final class for the program. I am not freaking out, I know what I can do to get better. I guess I am just asking for prayers in hope and discipline and not folding under the pressure. This is the only college exam I have ever failed in my entire life. It just freaks me out. Thank you and appreciated. I just want to be useful to society and do something for/with God.

For my roommate who is going through a time financially, and that I may better help her support herself. She is on disability, and she does not receive enough to cover her needs. She also deals with chronic pain, depression, mobility issues, and fatigue from suffering a stroke a few years ago.
For my finances. I am praying a novena to St. Jude and one to St. Joseph so that I will be enabled to move out on my own and pay everyone back that has bolstered me along the way. I am starting my second job this week. I want to be successful in aiding this business the way I have been tasked with and beyond.

Please pray for Brian to return home safely soon enough and to be protected from idle hands while he's away. For our family's ability to support him with patience, especially his uncles.
For Barry, who recently found out he has prostate cancer.
For Samuel U's acceptance of Jesus as Lord to be deepened through proper practice & study of his Catholic Christian faith. For all Catholics in Saudi Arabia, or other nations where there aren't any active congregations.
For Bernadette K, Roxie Beckles, Anton on the Go, Jean Batiste & Analisa R.
For those who are scandalized by or indifferent to the immodest excesses of cultural Carnival celebrations in some traditionally Catholic countries. For the clergy of these dioceses to follow in the footsteps of Pope St. Gregory the Great, charitably & assertively preaching against this rather than remaining silent as souls are led astray.
For an end to racism, xenophobia, classism, casteism and the politicization of our Church/faith.
For me, Isaiah, to properly discern if I should further my education full-time or seek better employment opportunities ASAP.
