Nancy's healing

Help me find an affordable apartment not far from work. I am in foreclosure and just started working again a few months ago after illness and surgery.

I pray for patience and inspiration

Prayers, please, for my niece, that her 8 month old daughter may regain the sight that she has lost since birth.

For my relatives and friends who are ill, for our parish priests and all priests, bishops, cardinals and the Holy Father, for the suffering people in Ukraine and other places of unrest in the world, for a Holy Lenten Season for all, and for a special intention.

My husband's sister, Marie who is dying thank you

May Your holy will be done, O Lord, in the lives of Ricardo (brain surgery) and his family, Jaime (on the loss of his mother Ada, at the age of 99), Gabriela (who lost her twins during early labor) and Father Fabian (leukemia).

Please pray for John & Christine, Louie & Jackie, Kevin & Alicia, AND Ralph & Angie- 4 married couples both experiencing difficulties and separation from each other and Our Lord. May their hearts and minds be open to God's great love, kindness and forgiveness so they may know how to extend these to each other and not continue living selfishly in a union intended for selflessness and partnership with God. May His Great Love heal their great wounds.

Lord, prod me to repent and change my ways to become an instrument of your Love. Guide me during this Lenten period as well as throughout the year towards fulfilling the purpose you have planned for me.
Assist me in 'drawing near to you; so you can draw near to me' (James 8:4). And in the process help me to make you smile in order to light up the world we're engaged in. Thank you for constantly showering us with your Divine Love - teaching us that giving is its own reward - for yours is the power and the glory now and forever.
Amen.
