Acts 1:14 These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Job 42:10 The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold. I am blessed to pray for you. Thank you
Urgent prayers requested for baby Michael Ignatius Leach born 7 days ago. He has been urgently hospitalized for an infection and is not responding to oxygen intervention or antibiotics. Asking for his full healing in Jesus name. His Mother, Bernadette is the sister of the friend of mine who's baby I asked prayers for back in Feb(?) Everyone is going through so much right now.. God have mercy
Use that suffering you all for God's work. It can be hard to remember to do this, but it is so so important to help souls both here and in purgatory. I am beginning to think that suffering is on the rise because we are called to unite our sufferings with Jesus on the cross to help many. So so many are lost and need suffering souls to be saved, so it stands to reason that suffering is on the rise to help save souls!
My sentiments exactly. And on that note, the serious issues with our daughters family situation are escalating; my son in law is now down to three shifts a week and the family is not doing well as a whole. I cannot go into details but my poor daughter is losing hope. She cannot cope and needs constant prayers. With everything happening in the world, it feels like the same dread is happening in our family. I know many of you are still praying.. thank you and please continue, endless thanks and know you are our heroes.
I struggle with hope when the suffering doesn't let up. A see-saw of emotions. One day, the hours are filled with hope, all gone the next day and you seem to be worse off for entertaining hope in the first place. This is never true - but when in the pit, it's so hard to believe anything else. Yet, each time, I've pulled through because someone somewhere cared enough to pray for me. Multiply that compassion by 10s, 100s.... and miracles come. And hope returns. Many are praying, dear Sparrow. I will too. Hang in there.
