For Aaron to be healed and to be reclassified with his work so he does not lose his job. That the new job be a better one for him. For Gabbie and Sarah who are both in toxic job situations that the places they both work at be a better environment to work in. For their spiritual and emotional healing. For Jim and I to be healed of our body ailments and for God to continue to watch over us in our now older years and for all the souls in purgatory and all who are in need.

Please pray for my healing from chronic anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Please ask God to lead me out of this misery. Ask God to guide my doctors in helping me. Pray that I may find hope as I desperately seek relief from this pain.

Great Saint Joseph, who loved Jesus so tenderly, and felt so keenly the pain of his absence during the time you spent in Limbo, go to the aid of the soul of Robert Cletus Driscoll (Bobby Driscoll) his comforter and his intercessor before Jesus and Mary. May the suffrages of the pious faithful and the merits of the Savior be applied to him so that, freed from the bonds that hold him, he may fly to the bosom of God and enter into possession of eternal happiness. Amen

St Therese,
You know the petition in my heart. Please whisper into the ear of the Virgin Mary and ask for her intercession to grant my request. Thank you.

Novena to the Blessed Virgin Mary (Never Known To Fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God; Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.
Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me in my necessity.
(Mention your request here). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times).
Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands.

My Lord and my God, I recognize that I am a sinner.
I beg you to forgive my sins and those of humanity.
I do not deserve Your Mercy, but I beg You to look upon me with Your infinite Mercy.
and I will strive with all my strength to persevere my faith in You.
Amen.
