When you see this post, reblog and say a Hail Mary- for the end of abortion.

Today at 9:00 p.m., Pope Francis calls everyone around the world, no matter where you are, no matter your creed or religion, to a moment of meditation or prayer for peace in Syria and the rest of the world. The entire planet will be united in prayer for peace. If you can direct it, join us in urgent prayer, because the radical Islamic group has just taken Quaragosh, the largest Christian city in Iraq. Where there are hundreds of Christian men, women and children who are being beheaded. The Pope is asking for prayer coverage. Please take a minute and pray for them. Pass the message on to all your contacts. We have been invited to pray, please pass it on to others.🙏

This ain't good so just trying to get lots of prayers

Peter: The Transfiguration

“Tell no one, he said, for the structure of light was like nothing before, and we had no words to describe the taste, sound and sight of that showering upon him. Our faces hugged dirt. We were ready not to see, had not the mouths to tell, the piercing joy that this white sun foreshadowed. We fell down like bricks with the burden of knowledge mute in our chests, and not ready for any coherent unpacking. And yet, in his movement and being and breath, we stagger on—and yes, we’re still finding flecks of that light in the cupped hands of our prayer, like refreacted light in a river’s dark muck— a clarity that no words can bear.”

I’m not really well acquainted with Catholic Tumblr, but prayers would be appreciated for my grandfather, who may have cancer for the 4th time. Prayers of intercession to St. Peregrine and St. Jude especially would be appreciated.

I need your help

Here’s the situation: On December 23rd last year my father became physically violent against me and assaulted me. I decided then I wasn’t safe around him and had to get out. I was lucky enough to get a place and move out quickly.

I was planning on surviving the test of my school term on my student loan, however for whatever reason the second half of my loan has not been given to me and I’ve been unable to secure it.

I’ve paid up my rent for this month. And have just enough for next month assuming I buy literally nothing. I don’t know how long the food I have will last.

My rent is 1,000$ a month. Food on average 150$ a month. Plus I have medication. I’ve tried seeking financial assistance but haven’t gotten far.

If you can provide any help or charity I’d greatly appreciate it, if you’d like you can commission me for a small donation. If you can’t prayers are appreciated.

please in your charity pray for my friend, Riley, who is currently undergoing a severe mental health crisis; i am working with some friends to get him professional help but things things are very scary at the moment

Please pray for a local 2 year old who was kidnapped out of his front yard 🙏

Please can I have some prayers for myself and my friend, P. We are mourning the passing of our friend, A and struggling to find closure especially when she was mentioned at the holy eucharist at the cathedral today.

I really need prayers right now, please.

Calling all sword lovers!

What's the name of this kind of sword? The one that starts kinda skinny, but then gets a little fat, before tapering to a point? I really think they're neat, but don't know what to google to find cool pictures.

Iberian gladius?

I’m going to be serving my ex-landlord for a Hearing soon (I was evicted without notice and extorted financially to access my property) and I’m really, really, really worried I’m going to mess up at the Hearing and lose. I’m fighting for an extra entire month’s rent that I had to pay to access my belongings, the damage deposit I still haven’t gotten back, and an extra days’ moving fees. Please pray that it is successful, so if God so wills it. Please pray for me.

Jesus, I trust in You. I entrust all of this to You.

Prayer request for a family member who is pregnant, and is having a hard time accepting it 🙏 I’m beginning to worry that she isn’t going to take proper steps for her health due to flat denial. People are stepping in to make sure that the things are happening, but I’m worried about her mental state that she’s refusing to do it herself.

Just got a post on my For You that was incredibly concerning. OP was a queer, pro choice, Catholic witch. I won’t link the post or give a username but I hope anyone seeing this prays for her and anyone who may be led astray by her words/actions. The Lord will know who that prayer is for.
