PRAYERS FOR NOW
“Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God.” (CCC # 2559)
A Plea for Divine Mercy
Brothers and sisters in Christ, hear the good news: He is Risen, let us Rejoice. He has conquered death.
Through his body, his greatest suffering and horrific death poured out blood and water which is his merciful love. He offers forgiveness, salvation and eternal life with Him and the Father. Why? Because he loved us first and we are precious to him.
Now listen to my prayerful petition as I was inspired by the Spirit of the Lord to send out: The waters of impurity rise with the multitude of souls dipped in sin as we refused to believe in The Passion of His Crucifixion. Many of us cry out no repentance and our sinful burdens weigh us to our worldly desires. We remain parched from our journey in the desert without Christ Jesus.
Why have we abandoned Him even after his Death and Resurrection? Why have we emptied our spiritual vessel from the Spirit?
These are troubling times my brothers and sisters and Jesus’ agonizing heart bleeds from us separated from him; our flaws, weaknesses, addictions, pride and more, nailed him to the cross he carried for us. Yet we hide from him. Yes, we all bear shame, and Jesus knows our pain and sorrow. He knows many of us wade in the obscurity of wickedness and immorality.
Despair not. Console Him my brothers and sisters through repentance, for now is the time. Let us renounce our crippling, sinful burdens. Offer them up to his Cross and be not bound to them. Jesus is our Hope. He thirsts for our love. Trust in the fullness of his love, the abundance within the vastness of his ocean of mercy as it is available to all of us no matter what we’ve done. He wants to immerse us in his Divine Mercy through our atonement. Let us take the full refreshment of His Living Water; Convert, be cleansed and follow him. Let us reconcile with the Father through Jesus. Forgive our brethren and our enemies so as to enter through the golden gate of heaven and be in the true Light of Eternity.
Brothers and sisters, I offer up this prayer for all souls to the mercy of Jesus Christ:
Merciful Jesus, I bring to you the many souls who wade in the dark waters of sin. Lead us to your merciful love. Forgive us and remove our veil of misery. Jesus, restore us by immersing us in your vast ocean of overabundant mercy. Help us to rely on you and not on ourselves. I pray for the many conversions to know the fullness of Divine Mercy Sunday and flourish in your love. Yet many will miss this rewarding feast day. O merciful Jesus, you continue to be that beacon for those lost souls. I trust in you they will return. My appeal leaves no one behind. Through you Jesus, you are the open gate to our Father in your heavenly kingdom and eternal peace. Praise and glory to you Jesus Christ.
Surrender Prayer
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you; I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures. I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.
St. Charles de Foucauld
Oración De Entregar
Padre, me abandono en tus manos; haz conmigo lo que quieras. Cualquier cosa que puedas hacer, te agradezco; Estoy listo para todo, acepto todo. Que solo se haga tu voluntad en mí, y en todas tus criaturas. No deseo más que esto, oh Señor. En tus manos encomiendo mi alma; Te lo ofrezco con todo el amor de mi corazón, porque te amo Señor y por lo tanto necesito entregarme, rendirme en tus manos, sin reserva, y con confianza ilimitada, porque tú eres mi Padre.

Appeal to Stop Abortions Prayer
Almighty Father, I bring this appeal to the foot of your Son’s cross. The sanctity of life is at risk and evil preys upon a mother’s womb. I beseech your help in Jesus’ name for the battleground is the Unborn.
Pregnant women in all societies around the world are the frontline victims. Terrified of the uncertain impact on their lives an unexpected and unwanted pregnancy compromises their decision on the blessedness of life. And grave conclusions tragically arrive during early, partial and late trimester stages of the innocent.
Heavenly Father, I pray they come before you for courage and hope; to repent and know the true sorrow of such loss. Time is of the essence and this crucial choice is paramount at the cost of the sacredness of life.
Cradle these innocent unborn lives in your mercy Father. Bathe them in the Precious Blood and Water from the Sacred Side of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ as their eternal baptism for they truly have become the sacrificial innocents for the world.
O merciful Father, abortion clinics throughout our nation and the world thrive for the corpse of the unborn; the horrific and barbaric procedures are more sacrificial to the evil that devours these precious lives. I ask in Jesus’ name to close these facilities permanently; to stop current and future funding; to halt any changes to laws that perils the unborn. Heavenly Father hear my appeal.
My God, we know and trust nothing is impossible for you. As Mary said Yes to the precious gift of life, to carry the King of all nations, help us to pray for these women to say Yes to the sanctity of life. As Prayer Warriors, may our prayers bring them blessings of fortitude, perseverance on their journey and joy; but for those who chose a different path Father, may your merciful love bring them healing. I place all my trust and hope in you Abba, and in the words to your Son, our Lord and Savior: Jesus, I trust in you.

Daily Prayer: Defend our Children St. Michael
**Pray this prayer daily for the salvation of our young children.
St. Michael the Archangel, God’s mighty warrior, hear my prayer, we need your help. The innocence of our teens and young adults is under attack. I call upon you and your army of mighty angelic warriors to fight against the evil media giants who are in full battle gear to brainwash this next generation.
They wield their sword of extreme televised graphic adult content laced with love and friendships in a dark world of drugs, sex, violence, profanity and social media.
St. Michael, march in triumphant song against this pestilence of entertainment that allows sexual boundaries to be exploited in plain sight. Block the flow of funding such filth.
Encourage these networks to cancel the airing of these sinful and poisonous programs; stop its promotion to America’s and International children before it seeps into the living rooms of many families.
Allow not the theft of Christian faith from these parents and their children; guard them to resist this vile enemy’s harassment and temptations.
Defend our teen and young adults against the dark spiritual forces attempting to make normal such acts. Prevent such horrid consumption that will impact their outlook on society, gender behavior, values, and religious beliefs. Shield them against these dark influences that will ill-shape their souls.
St. Michael, please, come to the aid of our children around the world. Strengthen them against their weaknesses with the Armor of God. Send into the abyss Satan and his evil doers that swallow our children’s innocence through his poison. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray and ask for your help.
Mary, our Blessed Mother, all the angels and saints, please intercede with your help for our teen and young adults. Amen.
