Prayers for All

Hey everyone I just wanted to start a forum where everyone can say what they need prayers for and everyone else can pray for them. Every prayer counts even just one Hail Mary for another person. Personally, I’m just asking for prayers to focus on Jesus. Going through a sorta tough time right now any prayers help and I’ll pray for anyone else too.

Go for it!

I ask for a solution to a sick daughter's problem. She has an ongong mystery sickness which places job in Jeopardy. There are two problems rolled into one.

1. She has a job she loves helping children.

2. Her health is making it virually impossible to do, and she needs to support herself.

God bless you if you pray for her, even if only a Hail Mary, regularly.

Sometimes I get bullied for being Catholic by my friends and when I get upset they will just say it was a joke but they say I'm to Catholic for not thinking woman should were crop tops or not liking movies were people cures.

The power of one Hail Mary is astounding. St. Teresa of Avila appeared to someone ( I believe a Carmilite) and said that if she could, she would temporarily leave the happiness of heaven to return earth to say one Hail Mary. Imagine leaving the happiness of heaven for only one moment. Another story tells of a man who was jogging and saw an ambulance near a house. He decided to say a hail Mary for the person who was ill. A little while later he was jogging again and a women approached him and thanked him for saying the Hail Mary for her. She said that Our Lord appeared to her in a dream and told her that she would be saved because of this man's Hail Mary, Our Lord had an image of the man in his palm and that's how she new that it was that man. Every Hail Mary counts!

We had better pray for mercy. Things are getting bad.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Thank you Programmer08 for being willing to start this. I would like to ask for prayers that I can persevere in my vocation as a Friar Minor. 

I would like to also ask for prayers for those who follow ideologies that are contrary to the God’s will. Let us pray for their conversion and for them to turn their hearts to God.

Pax et Bonum

Deus Meus et Omnia,

And not only a Hail Mary but also a Hail Joseph, too! St Teresa of Avila was a huge fan of St Joseph also, and it's fitting having just had the Year of St Joseph not long ago. St Joseph, terror of demons and patron (father) of the Catholic Church, pray for us!

PS: you can also use any Marian prayer as a "template" for a prayer through Saint Joseph (or any other saint) and simply change the words slightly to fit, in case you don't have an "official prayer" handy or don't want to ad lib a spontaneous prayer from the heart. For example, using the Hail Mary as a template, it would go like this: "Hail Joseph, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among men, and blessed is the fruit of Mary's womb, Jesus! Holy Joseph, father of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen." 
Notes: 1) if used for any brother or sister in Heaven it would go like, for example, "Hail Jude, full of grace... Holy Jude, brother of God...." . 2) all those in Heaven (we too one day hopefully!) are now "full of grace" also. If you prefer you could say "now full of grace" in case it bothers you as we are currently stuck in time here on Earth and of course only Our Lady was preserved without original sin in the order of grace, etc. (and I believe Joseph and John the Baptist come next in the hierarchy of holiness / grace as they were sanctified from within the womb, as Luke tells us about John the Baptist and as the Church tells us about Saint Joseph via her ordinary magisterium in some papal documents and what some of the saints and doctors of the church have said (though it's not dogmatic, just various levels of doctrinal truth nevertheless) -- regardless, again, all the holy ones, be they angelic or human, in Heaven are "now" (as Heaven is outside of time) "full of grace" which is the original plan of God and His holy desire for all of us His children per Ephesians 5:27. :-)

I’m just interested but how does Hail Mary work? Like what happens when you say it for someone?

Well wonderful things if it is God's holy will like if I prayed the Hail Mary for a child with cancer and asked Mary to pray to God for me the child would be healed but only if it is God's holy will.

Why can’t you just ask God personally? Isn’t that one of the things Jesus came to do? Let us talk to God personally?

Ever heard of Lepanto? The Rosary won it.

The Communists just got up and left after a Rosary Crusade in Austria.

But, we Catholics are not forbidden from talking to God directly.

Quite the opposite.

The Prayers of the Catholic Mass hardly do anything else than addressing God directly.

Actually i have never heard of the lepanto. What is it?

The Battle that saved Europe from the Turks. The Pope was St. Pius V.

Ah got it. Thanks

It was after that battle that Our Lady received an addition to her Litany with the title "Mary, Help of Christians".

After Fatima, we were told by her that she would do the same for the World, not just Europe by recourse to her, and the Rosary was again pointed out as one of the Primary Means by which it would happen.

That is comforting, seeing that the World is on the brink of Wars. and the consequent disorder that will arise, Famine, Death and the Annihilation of Nations. All this has already started.
