In your charity, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, would you offer up a prayer on behalf of my 22 year old daughter who seems to be suffering from a sudden bout of extreme insecurity and must make an important life directing decison...that God will give her courage and the maturity to lead her to make the right decision on her own and that all things will fall into place. Thank you.

In Christ our Lord,
Alice

Prayers for Alice's daughter. Despite the fact that we deem 22 years old to represent adulthood - by at least a year - it remains such a young age to make decisions. May she be guided by her patron saint and the wisdom of the saints.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

O Lord, You who steadied the hand of Peter as he began to sink on the stormy sea, if you are with Alice's daughter, no one is against her. Grant to her the shield of faith and the mighty armor of the Holy Spirit to protect her and guide her to do Your will. Your grace in abundance to make the choices that are right for her future, she places her life into Your hands, O Lord, and will follow You into a deeper life in Christ. Amen

Sincere and ardent prayer for Christina and her beloved family.

Queen of the Heavenly Host, Defender of our souls, we thy servants offer to thee songs of victory and thanksgiving, for thou, O Mother of God, hast delivered us from dangers. But as thou hast invincible power, free us from conflicts of all kinds that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, unwedded Bride!

Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You.
Lord of the Powers, have mercy on Alice's family.
