Please pray for my dear fried Father John Blazek of Our Lady Chapel at Gilmour Academy. He is scheduled to have a heart procedure to replace a valve in his heart tomorrow June 6th at the Cleveland Clinic.
Please pray for God to guide the surgeon and nurses’ hands to make a way for healing for him. Pray that God may make a way for total restoration of health for my dear friend who I dearly love.
Amen

It's very important that I find a job due to my family/ home circumstances, but it needs to be one where I'm not in a near occasion of sin just from going to work. It needs to be something that allows me to become financially independent based on my education/ skills/ aptitudes, but does not go against my conscience.
What do you want of me, Lord? Where do you want me to serve You?

Please pray for me and the difficulties/challenges I have been facing at work. Work has been very overwhelming for me lately. Please also pray for me that I can avoid the near occasions of sin as well. Thank you in advance.

Some time ago I became involved with an occult group and this spiritually opened me up to evil forces. I can literally feel these satanic forces trying to turn my soul evil and force me to walk a dark path against God! Please pray for the intercession of St. Joseph and any other Holy Saints who can help me to win this spiritual warfare and go back to the holiness of God! Please pray for the intercession of St. Joseph so that these evil psychic attacks that are happening in my mind would cease completely! I’m also about to end up homeless and I’d like to again ask for your prayer for the intercession of St. Joseph and the Holy Saints so that I could find financial aid and safe accommodation as soon as possible! Thank you.

Divine Mercy novena with Chaplet:
"Third Day:
Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse then in the ocean of My mercy. The souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wonderous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen."

Divine Mercy novena with Chaplet:
"Second Day:
Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind.
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen."

"Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen." (Day 1 of Divine Mercy Novena; Good Friday - Divine Mercy Sunday).

Please pray 4 the lady in a wheelchair with 1 foot-- who has taken up residence lately to the right side of the front entrance of the old Ralph's at Palo Verde/ Wardlow, next to the fire station. I brought her mittens once recently, but she doesn't want me to visit again (she's a little grouchy). It was challenging trying to talk to her that one time, so I'm going to respect her wishes and leave her alone. But I'm still concerned about her, like it'd be sad if she just froze or starved to death right here in our town without us trying to reach out to her. If someone else feels brave enough and wants to try to bring her a toiletries bag or see if she needs food resources or something, best wishes with that. I feel sorry for her, but don't know what I can do.
She says she likes it there. She says people should take care of their own families, so got very upset when I mentioned how I heard Ralphs might turn into a nursing home. And yet sadly here she is, not being taken care of by her family. Nursing homes can be lifesavers for many families who aren't able to provide all the 24-hour nursing care any longer that they need, and just want to be able to visit their loved one; or what if someone has no kids (or none able to be the primary caregivers) and needs to live there, or what if someone wants to live there for the community of friends and things to do, and food served etc.-- they're good to have in town for lots of reasons.
If I were her, I'd rather live in a sheltered place. I don't know how she gets to a potty or takes care of herself. She said she used to live over across the street (and one time I did she her trying to roll across the street... I offered to help her get there soon enough, but she didn't want help... she barely made it across the street) -- maybe she still goes back to a house there but then takes up residence by Ralphs again? I do not know. I texted 9-1-1 to check on her one night when it was severely windy/storm, to make sure she wasn't flooding/ freezing, and they said they'd send an officer. I guess she survived because I've seen her head peeking out from her alcove when I walked past to church.
I pray for her when I walk past, or when I start to miss my favorite pair of warm fuzzy mittens my cousins gave me for Christmas a couple years ago. I hope she's wearing them to keep her hands warm. Anyway not having them reminds me to pray for her. Please pray for her too. Maybe Movement 4 a Better World or something could reach out -- but be careful she can be grumpy. (But can't we all? Our families know this haha). Okay, thanks 4 praying for her.

If you feel called, it'd be so cool--
to check out St. Joe's vestibule 🙂
Some religious items need a home
(Finders keepers! FREE! Shalom!)
Lourdes, St. Therese, & St. Anthony
Patronize these items that are free --
Unless if you're inclined offer a donation
To St. Joseph's, or the item's association
Most important thing is: use them to pray
Mother Mary would want it this way! 🙂
"More things are wrought by prayer-- than...
this world dreams of!" (With these, we can!)
I myself kept the Miraculous Medal to wear
Praying for its 1st owner, a bond we share
