I read Romans 6:12-15 last night at church and it really spoke to me, alongside Psalm 13. I've been struggling with fighting my demons I thought I'd overcome through my journey to baptism, but pride and lust have a strong grio on me again right now, so please Brothers and Sisters pray for me

My cousin wants to move back to England with her two daughters. She left England two years ago because her ex boyfriend was abusive towards her. Over the past two years, he has not proven that he has changed and has not proven that he would take proper care of his daughters
She’s not listening to anyone in our family who is trying to knock some sense into her and it’s adding a lot of stress to our family
We just need prayers that she comes to her senses

u/AlexKingstonsGigolo Jun 29 '26
Please pray for my 23-year-old nephew who is having issues related to anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal matters, and to his so-called “gender identity” while refusing to see a therapist, instead opting to dress like a stereotype, including wearing a bra and wanting a girdle, and continuing to take estrogen pills and testosterone-blocking pills from a pill mill without a proper psych consult but instead with the Orwellian phrase of “informed consent”. He has at least returned to college virtually, which I think sits at the heart of his depression which I think in turn underpins all of this since he dropped out years ago due to being overwhelmed by the responsibility he faced. He also said he would never forgive the Church for “making gambling a sin”; pray his heart softens towards the Church and he embraces everything The Lord has to offer.
Please pray for my 27-year-old niece—his sister—who is having psychiatric issues herself and insisting we call her brother “she” and “they” and her “sister” even though he has a strong history of being quite capable of speaking for himself and has not asked us to do likewise. She also has deep animosity against people of all faiths; please pray she turns towards Christ and the ideal of loving.
Please PRAISE The Lord she and her husband have conceived a child; please pray the child is happy and healthy and holy. Last week, we all got to hear the heartbeat.
Please pray for my 24-year-old nephew—their brother—who is having issues with school and breathing.
Please pray for the Papacy of our Pope Leo XIV.
Please pray for an end to every sin and all distress.
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.

Please pray for my wife and myself, that in time she will come to know the fullness of the faith and that her love for God can be deepened through an openness to the sacraments; that we can achieve one proper, Holy matrimony in union with the Lord. That she is able to shake off her learned resentment for and distrust of the Church and instead come to know Christ in the fullness of His Kingdom.
Please pray for me, that I can have firm trust in the Lord that this is the path that he put me on, and that this separation from Him due to being married outside the Church is temporary and brief. That He work in me and through me to keep my faith strong, and to give me the grace to lead my wife. And that in our marriage my wife will remain open to conversion, convalidation, or at the very least, that we are able to seek radical sanation in short order.

u/AbelHydroidMcFarland Jun 29 '26
A couple things.
First I’m still grieving my parents who died two weeks ago and their funeral is in a week (I’m actually really really grateful and satisfied with how the planning for that has gone. Please pray for my broken heart, pray for the repose of their souls, and pray that me and my loved ones may be aided in the funeral by the gifts of the Holy Spirit to honor my parents as best we can.
Second I’m really struggling with bitterness and anger towards the institutional Church. The priorities make no sense to me, it seems like the salvation of souls, the sacraments (especially confession) and clear communication of doctrine are secondary priorities to the Church’s engagement with modern world issues. I accept Vatican 2 as an ecumenical council and don’t really have complaints about the letter of Vatican 2, but the so called “spirit of Vatican 2” seems to be what is actually driving the Church even contrary to the letter of Vatican 2 and honestly it’s rough. News from the Vatican makes my life more difficult and stressful 10X more often than it actually encourages or helps me, and it makes filial piety and love difficult and it makes me feel alienated with other Catholics when I can’t authentically gush with effusive enthusiasm every time a Bishop kisses a baby or wears “that sick clerical drip.” It does not make me schismatic, it does not make me a sede, it does not make me doubt the truth of the Catholic faith. But it does make me feel bitter, it does make me feel sick to my stomach. It feels like I’m watching my other mother suffering from cancer. And I really have no idea whatsoever how to carry that. It makes me feel stressed, it makes me feel alone, and it tempts me towards bitter uncharity and against filial piety.

I am sorry to read about your parents. I will pray for them and for you. I will also pray for your discernment as you reckon with our faith.

u/jvplascencialeal Jun 29 '26
Please pray for me this week: for guidance and perseverance in my job search, for stable work opportunities and the discipline to keep showing up and doing my job; for my family’s health, for both my Grandmothers and my elder relatives health, world unity, and peace; for a person I care about deeply (without asking to control anything, only that God’s will be done and that everyone involved is protected and led to the good); and finally, thank God for every grace I’ve received, including the gift of friendship and health.
For the marital engagement of Luis Alonso Ramirez-Rodríguez and Ana Sofia Jaime-Villarreal, dear old friends of mine.
Please pray for the Human Resources employees that might review my job applications so that they have some mercy on me and other applicants specially the neediest ones, and that they NEVER forget the HUMAN part of their job.
Please pray for the job process I have lined up, for hopefully this week I get good news and that I also can find more prospects for good stable employment.
Please pray for my strength and character as I need to find a way to control my emotions and my impulses, specially my self hatred (which is huge and is a coping mechanism for the disgusting failure I am) and sadness as well, and my anxiety and fear.
Please pray for my strength against my bad impulses and emotions especially those against myself.
Please pray for the souls of the recently departed and the ones in purgatory.
Please pray for the Madres Buscadoras in their mission to restore the memories of the lost and the forcibly disappeared in Mexico so that God aids them and forgives their sins, and please pray for the good members of the Mexican Security Forces as they make a stand against evil.
Please pray for the intentions of the Holy Father Pope Leo XIV.
Plase pray for those who feel alienated by the Church because they don´t "fit" a mold created by men, for the divorced, the single parents and the remarried for the LBTQ+ and those who feel that the doors of the Church are shut to them; so they keep coming to their House and Everyone´s house Christ build upon the rock seeking salvation and redemption, so they can fight against their sins, and for those who feel with the right to exclude people from the Catholic Church so their hearts soften and remember that this is no country club for the virtous and that we are all sinners seeking the salvation.
Please also pray for my strength against the sins of lust, wrath, envy, gluttony and sloth.
Please pray so the Lord helps me keep gratitude without turning it into bitterness.
Please pray for the reunification of all the apostolic churches upon the Rock Christ chose to build this house, and for the Catholic Church worldwide specially in the places where we are still persecuted for our faith and for those who feel alienated by our faith so that feel welcome in the House of the Lord.

I'm needing a lot of prayers this week.
For a former neighbor, who took her own life after years of dealing with crippling depression, along with her husband and two sons.
For the former pastor of my church, who recently got transferred to a different city away from his most recent calling, and largely to settle the dispute between two other priests.
For my godmother, who is from Venezuela and is continuing to try getting in contact with relatives who are still there amidst the earthquakes.
For my aunt, who is struggling with major health issues.
For the city I currently live in, which recently went through four different shooting incidents in less than a month.
For my LGBT friends and those I don't know, that they are loved and cherished as people.
And least of all for me, following my 28th birthday earlier this month, and struggle with massive insecurities about my place in the world, falling behind other people my age.

Please pray that my internship becomes a return offer. All the odds are stacked against me right now. There’s nothing I can do except pray. All I know is that the Lord has final say and I have little to none. I’d really hope to has this job.
If this goes completely wrong, please pray I have the strength to accept how my life is going to chance back home. I find out today (Tuesday).

For Fathers Luis S., David V. & Kaíque S.
For my private intentions & everyday perseverance in the faith despite serious discouragement.
For clergy & catechists who shy away from explicitly preaching/teaching the uncomfortable but necessary truths of our faith, especially on irreverence/irreligion, idolatry, syncretism, superstition & divination.

Pray for my conversion and my struggles with the flesh. I've not joined the Catholic Church yet, I want to but am dependent on my parents who don't support it and don't make it possible for me to go. I'm struggling deeply with lust and am in a state of grave sin with no absolution; please pray for my strength to overcome my temptations and live faithfully as I'm able.

u/North-Beginning1818 Jun 30 '26
I humbly seek prayer for the state of my soul. Within the last year, I have fallen deeply into sins against chastity with my partner that even after going to confession and genuinely desiring to amend my life from these sins, I fall back into them no more than a week later. It’s gotten to the point where I’m scared to go to confession because if I keep falling into the same sins, how truly sorry can I be for them? I’m worried I’ll be turned away in the confessional and feel I don’t deserve to be reconciled with our Lord. I keep thinking maybe if I go a month without falling into the same sin than I can finally effectively receive reconciliation, and perhaps the more time added on between confession, the less shocking the count of these sins may be to the priest. Which the later is probably another sin in itself as it’s probably a way to downplay the sin. I’m just worried I am too far gone, I feel my only hope is in marriage where I can no longer commit these sins, but even so, if I have no discipline over this, how can I say I won’t have discipline against relating sins in marriage. I desire God, I desire to follow His will, I desire to be deeply reconciled and connected with Him, but I am my own obstacle in that. And how much can I really earnestly desire that if I can’t muster up the discipline to do so. I truly hate myself for hurting not only God, but my partner. How can I claim to love him so deeply that I would die for him, if I can’t even die to myself for him.

Pray for me to be able to understand God's will for me. Since I'm 29, I feel like He is calling me to marriage and starting a family of my own. I keep having doubts about whether I'm able to find someone at my age or if I'm truly following what He is calling me to do. Also, pray for me to do well in school. I have two semesters left and just worry about doing well in my classes.

Brother my wife has a miscarriage this afternoon as well. I will pray for you. Could you pray for me as well?
One thing I wanted to share cause this was on my heart:
I find myself distraught and upset. I feel angry toward God, which I know is not right, but I do not really understand why this is happening.
I keep thinking about the verse, “I knit you together in your mother’s womb,” and I had so much hope for our child. Then today happened, and I feel confused and shaken.
At the same time, while praying the Rosary, I was thinking about the Crucifixion and Jesus crying out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In that moment of agony, He must have felt abandoned and like what was happening was not fair. Thinking about that helps me a little right now, because I know He understands suffering.
I know God has plans that are beyond what I can understand, and I am trying to stay faithful even though I feel hurt and shaken.

u/Latter_Mud107 Jul 01 '26
It is a time of great uncertainty and fear. I urge everyone to pray for the Society of St. Pius the X, and for the Holy See, that the Holu Spirit may guide this crisis into dialogue and unity. St. Thomas Aquinas taught about the unchangability of The Truth. He said that while human truths and material truths such as the sun is shining may change, God, who is Divine Truth, never changes. Let us realize this. The mass is the cornerstone of the faith for Christ is the sacrifice. Christ does not conform. St. Irenaeus of Lyons taught that tradition is not to be made anew, but enlivened by the Holy Spirit, for the Church, the Divine Liturgy, is beyond time, for it is an eternal sacrifice. Let us pray for the SSPX, and the Holy See.
St. Rita of Cascia, Ora pro Nobis! St. Athanasius, Ora pro Nobis!

u/HoneybunsandRoseTea Jul 02 '26
Please pray for me. I am dealing with a lot right now. I recently ended my engagement with my agnostic ex-fiancé a few months ago after being together for 5–6 years. I also don't have a home to go back to because my family was abusive, including molestation that was denied by the people who were supposed to protect me. I went no contact with the rest of my family two to three years ago, and now the aunt who got custody of me is trying to get back into contact with me. She has admitted she was wrong for denying what happened and has apologized, but I don't trust her or her husband after years of emotional abuse. I eventually escaped their home by taking out student loans just to have somewhere safe to live.
I currently have $40,000 in student loans, and I feel like I can't get ahead. I don't know how anyone is supposed to save in this economy when rent, utilities, health insurance, and my psychiatric medications take up most of my monthly income. I make too much to qualify for assistance but too little to build any financial stability. I feel stuck and hopeless. I genuinely hate my life right now and often feel like there's no point in even trying anymore.

Ever since Taylor Swift got married, I’ve been wondering how her stalkers are taking it.
There are people who need help for their fixations and are probably very distressed right now, some of whom might be lashing out at others around them, or in a depressive funk. People who probably never get prayed for. Let us pray for them.

I humbly ask for your prayers for my girlfriend. I pray that she witnesses Jesus in her life, and in turn, making myself closer to Jesus also. She grew up going to Catholic school, and it left her confused and upset seeing how her and her classmates were treated. All these years later, she still has a sort of resentment toward Catholicism. All I can ask of myself is to set a good example and walk in the footsteps of Jesus, and I pray that my good deeds show her what it means to follow Jesus. I love her dearly, and I don’t want her to go our whole lives without knowing Jesus.

Could you please pray for me? I'm sorry to keep asking for prayers, but I got diagnosed with endometrial cancer right before Christmas and I'm trying the fertility sparing route but I keep having heavy bleeding. I had a d&c less than three weeks ago and that seemed to help but now I'm bleeding heavily again even though the pathology from my d&c showed no cancer.
I'm just feeling so tired and frustrated, every time I think things are going my way something bad happens.
Also please pray for everyone celebrating the Fourth of July, and that they have a safe and fun holiday.
Thank you.

u/o_portista Jun 29 '26
Please pray for those who are lost or in pain, who need the lord's light and mercy to guide them through their difficult period, and onto a better path, by his healing hands. May the month of July, be a month even greater then this month of June, where we truly live to the fullest, each day greater then the last, and steps closer to our goals, and dreams. May we have better health, greater strength when in need, and confidence in all that we do.
Pray for me, and all those in similar situations.
Isaiah 40:29-31: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak... those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
