No better place to be at 3 AM

Father, I bring you all those in my heart, all those who have shared with me their struggles and all those who have requested prayers, especially those in my family.

I pray for families, that we strengthen them once again to be a strong defense against the enemy. Heal those broken relationships and let them find forgiveness in their hearts.

I pray for your Church, especially our bishops as they make this retreat. Show them your Face in the Eucharist. Make them into men of such belief that they can’t help but lead others to you and they become examples of strength, courage and forgiveness. Teach them that the happiness found in this life is no comparison to what awaits for those who follow you when they reach the next life.

Please help us find healing in our Church, in your Church, your Bride. Make Her, once again, the bulwark against the enemy.

For all who have died, eternal rest grant unto them

For those who are sick, let them put their suffering at the foot of the Cross and give them the strength and courage to face each new day.

Bless and keep all those this bonfire is for. Let your light shine on them.

Hear and answer the prayers of any who might read this. Let it be that Your will be done!

All of this I bring to you Father, through your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Spirit, for you are one God forever and ever.

Mary, undoer of knots, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for all who will die today, especially those who have no one to pray for them.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us

I believe, I adore, I hope, I love and I trust you Jesus.

I beg your pardon on those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, do not love and do not trust you.

Especially those in my own family. Bring them back dear Lord, please bring them back.

Father, I have a full day today. Thank you for being here so I can start this day with you. Help me to be patient, joyful and helpful and above all else, help me be the person you designed and desire me to be.

Ignite my soul with faith and inflame my heart with love.

All of this I ask through our Lord, Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen

Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth, pray for us

Jesus,

My family will start to receive my letter. Please grant them, and me, open hearts to feel your presence, open minds to hear and understand what you want to say to us and open mouths to proclaim your truth in our lives.

I ask that you hear the prayers of all those who read this and answer them in your almighty goodness, for we know and acknowledge that your will is the will that should be done.

Please bless them and keep them. Let your light shine upon them. And if they have distanced themselves from you, put your messengers in their paths to guide them back to your loving arms.

Ignite my soul with the flames of faith and inflame my heart with the fire of your love! Amen

Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

Saint Basil, pray for us!
