Prayer Requests and Reports: October 2004 Archives

Thank you all for your prayers. It is premature to say that everything has been resolved, but it appears that all is well and only time will tell. Please keep us in your prayers a while longer, but I think everything is all right.

A probably minor, but very frightening financial crisis this morning. Please pray.

Prayers for a financial miracle from one in extreme distress.

Marriage is really under attack, both in the abstract formulation of law and in the concrete. We all know of some very prominent Catholics whose marriage is unfortunately falling apart quite publicly; however, there are any number of private crises as well.

As faithful Catholic we need to take a stand in prayer and fasting for marriage. Please consider offering even a single meal, or that tempting snack or desert, some small personal sacrifice in the name of the many who are enduring very, very difficult times right now. The assault seems enormous. Every time I turn around, I seem to learn of another couple whose marriage is in danger. Please give some time todqy, perhaps a decade of the rosary, perhaps during the Divine Mercy chaplet, or perhaps some other small prayer for the many, many people who are enduring this onslaught of the evil one. He will not cease until he has utterly corrupted or destroyed this life-giving sacrament.

Praise and Prayer Requests

Thanksgiving
For the many blessings and beautiful gifts that the Lord gives us day by day. He showers us with the promise of new life and grants us the beauties of this season. (Yes even in Florida, despite the temperatures, autumn has its majestice glory in beauty. Leaves fall from northern trees, and northern birds alight from Florida skies--our sign of autumn.) May He bless us especially in this season so that we may judge aright and wisely select the best possible leaders.
