A reader writes:

I have a prayer request for my grandson, Sammy, who has had chronic intestinal motility problems since birth. He is continuing to lose weight, and so the doctors feel that it is necessary to feed him intravenously for awhile to give his general health a boost. The IV is to be started sometime this week. The only problem is that 100% of the times he has been fed IV in the past, he’s developed MRSA sepsis, and several times almost didn’t make it out alive. There is no reason to think that this time will be any different, so as you can see, it is a contest to see how much weight he can gain before the sepsis sets in. Please remember him and the family in your prayers.

Father, hear our prayer for Sammy that he make a full recovery and be completely healed. Grant grace, peace, and strength to his family and all who love him and give wisdom, skill, and compassion to his caregivers. Surround him with your angels and let no harm come to him. Mother Mary, St. Luke, Fr. Joseph Fulton and Abp. Fulton Sheen, pray for him! We ask this through Jesus Christ!

Another reader asks:

Please pray for Fr. _, who is transferring out of his parish early because of stress caused by the treatment he has received (hate mail and email, verbal abuse, threats). Fr. _ had to make some difficult but necessary decisions, and the resulting conflict has taken a toll on him.

Father, strengthen your servant and give him healing and consolation as he shares in the cross of your Son Jesus. Mother Mary, pray for him. We ask this in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

Another reader writes:

Please pray for my wife and our family. This year, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder; her first episode took an enormous toll on our family. Right now we’re working on finding the right kind/dosage of medication for her, as well as adjusting to a new phase in our life. It is particularly stressful when (as happened again today) she begins to exhibit the initial symptoms of an episode. Please pray that we can avoid another crisis of any sort, including but not limited to any sort of hospitalization or interruption of our family life and routine, especially this week and during those weeks when the symptoms return.

We are turning in prayer especially to St. Philomena, St. Dymphna, St. Andre Bessette, and of course Our Lady and St. Joseph.

Father, hear our prayer through your Son Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, pray for this woman, her caregivers, and her family.
