Thread Instructions and Guidelines:
I believe that God wants us to know how much He Loves us and desires to hear our personal prayers so in His Kindness and Mercy grants our humble requests, not always but often in the exact manner we expect and so I think it’s very important for the people that pray to learn of how their prayers are answered.
To post a prayer request on this thread simply click on the "Post Reply" button on this post and let everyone know who and what we are praying for. Those that check this thread regularly will see your post. When I see it I will ping my FRiends and Family prayer warrior list (everyone that posts replies to this and previous threads) with a link to reply to your reply post number. There are now over 300 FReepers that will be notified. I try to ping any update reply posts you provide but PM me if I miss it. I will not ping any FReepers that have specifically requested to be excluded from prayer pings.
* ADVANCED FReepers, please post prayer requests in BOLD and leave replies in normal text so I can spot them scrolling through the thread
If your prayer request is of especially critical and urgent nature and there is still time for a miracle, Please create a separate thread (*I can't really do this for you). Then I will ping my very low volume urgent ping list that is almost 1500 prayer warrior FReepers. * If you really need me to post a thread for you, just PM me with as many details as you can provide but especially the first name of the person we are going to be praying for. I believe that God plays a role in how we receive our first names and so it is a slightly more powerful way to pray however He knows who we are praying for anyway and is not really necessary. Please try to make at least one post to the thread so I can direct poster's replies to you. If you want to remain anonymous I will gladly honor your request.
If you want to be on one(or both) of my prayer ping lists simply post a reply on one of the threads and you will eventually land on the list but I can manually add you anytime if you PM me. My apologies in advance if you get pinged by accident a few times. I'll do my best to get you completely removed from the list as soon as possible.

*If I post the new thread for you then often FReepers mistake me for the original requester and I will get all the prayer replies. With a new separate thread you will be able to post updates and reply to FReepers on the new thread also I can easily make a custom ping list for your new separate thread. It's really very easy see the instructions below.
MERCY OF GOD DEVOTION
From 1931 to 1938 Our Lord revealed the secrets of His great Mercy to Sister Maria Faustina. He designated the first Sunday after Easter as the Feast of the Mercy of God. In preparation of this Feast, He asked that a Novena be started on Good Friday, a Novena which asks for prayers each of the nine days for a different group of souls in order to immerse them in the sea of God’s Mercy! Confession is required on the day of or two weeks before or after this Feast, and Communion is required on the day of the Feast. Our Lord promised to the souls who follow these requests a complete remission of sin and punishment! “I desire that the Feast be a refuge and shelter for all souls,” He told her, “especially for poor sinners. The very depths of My Mercy will be opened on that day. I will pour out a sea of graces upon those souls that will approach the font of My Mercy. Tell ailing mankind to draw close to My Merciful Heart and I will fill it with peace. . .mankind will not find peace until it turns with confidence to My Mercy.”
How To Recite The Divine Mercy Chaplet
Begin with: Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . . I believe in God . . .
On the single beads of Rosary, in place of the Our Father recite: Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
On the ten beads, in place of the Hail Mary recite: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
After the five decades, recite three times: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
The Novena To The Divine Mercy
(Start on Good Friday) click the links below to get to your “Day” quicker.
D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9
First Day: “Today bring to Me ALL MANKIND, ESPECIALLY ALL SINNERS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.”
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love, which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen. Recite Chaplet
Second Day: “Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind.”
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in us, that we may perform worthy works of mercy, and that all who see us may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard—upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen. Recite Chaplet
Third Day: “Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.”
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen. Recite Chaplet
Fourth Day: “Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.”
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of pagans who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of pagans and those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen. Recite Chaplet
Fifth Day: “Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion.”
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church. Do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but, bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son’s Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and Upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
Recite Chaplet
Sixth Day: “Today bring to Me THE MEEK AND HUMBLE SOULS AND THE SOULS OF LITTLE CHILDREN and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.”
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said, “Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart.” Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy, and they are heavenly Father’s favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God. God himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek and humble souls, and upon the souls of little children, who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them. Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen. Recite Chaplet
Seventh Day: “Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ESPECIALLY VENERATE AND GLORIFY MY MERCY and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.”
Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands full of deeds of mercy and their spirit, overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promises of Jesus, who said to them, “I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy.” Recite Chaplet
Eighth Day: “Today bring to Me THE SOULS WHO ARE DETAINED IN PURGATORY and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.”
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way than through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen. Recite Chaplet
Ninth Day: “Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: ‘Father take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.’ For them the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy.”
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing; be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love; and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg of You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross; let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen. Recite Chaplet

Prayers up
My precious, sweet Mom, Louise, was taken to the local ER around 10:14 PM, after a visit with her rheumatologist at 3:45 PM found that she had very low hemoglobin. At 11:57 PM my sister continued to keep me updated, telling me that a blood transfusion (two thus far) would be initiated.
Mom's blood count rendered just over 6, where normal level should be 12. 12:06 AM, my sister said that she also had a very low potassium level, and that my sister and her husband would be there at the ER until Mom was put in a room.
I came in as quickly as I could upon first receiving a text from my sister, and am staying at the house with my Dad and besides doing banking for my spouse on Friday, who is OTR at this time, I will remain doing my best to help out however I can until Mom is home and a home care nurse / dietician service is set up and running.
Last I heard, Mom was joking with the ER staff and was foing well. She has such a strength in her spirit from The Lord, as well as her own mighty warrior spirit, its awesome!
Thank you, beloved fellow FReepers for your prayers and intercession in advance. I love you all in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's Holy Name.
My son and his wife have covid. Their doctors advised them to stay at home and medicate with Tylenol. It is the second week, and they seem to be improving. Please pray that they will totally recover, with no bad after effects.
Their names are Chris and Diane. They are in their sixties.
Even more troubling, two days before Diane came down with symptoms, she stayed overnight with her 89 year old mother at the assisted living home. Apparently, this particular home allows visitors to come and go and stay as long as they want, because they are understaffed, and need the extra help with residents.
We are awaiting test results on the elderly mom. Her name is Nancy .
Please pray that Nancy and all the residents there will not get covid..
The home is in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
Thanks to all.
Please pray for these and all intentions on this thread(and all past threads) past, present and future especially those that I may have overlooked.

Thanks for the update.
Thank You for the update ! Everybody hang in there !!! Continued Prayers.
I second the prayer request for the country and the world 4integrity posted. I know this is a general request, but still, I believe it’s important at this time.
So much is happening. So much oppression and violence, from all sides. My heart is heavy tonight. I feel much more is coming soon, it’s my own personal feeling, nothing more than that no “revelation” from God, no voice telling me.
But I truly feel we are in for much much more, very soon. Pray, please, everyone reading this, with me, for all our fellow man and for ourselves.
The Devil is close, I can feel his hot breath on my neck. Circling ever closer, like the roaring, yes toothless, but still lion he is, seeking those he may devour. I fear he may devour me, and all I hold most dear, and even most of the elect, very soon.
Jesus is my only hope at this point. I am posting this from my heart, the depths of desperation, to a Man I have sadly lost hope in in recent times. Because the times we live in have weighed me down. A Man I have no choice but to return to for the only lasting hope (John 6:68), for He has been the only Rock I’ve ever known. I beg His forgiveness like the man in Luke 18:13. Have mercy on me God, a sinner.
If I may humbly also pray, have mercy on all of us Lord, all this nation and all the world, all of us sinners, of whom I am chief I can assure you. (1 Tim 1:15). I have never been able to identify with St. Paul in that passage as much as now.
Maranatha Lord. Maranatha.
Thanks for the update! Keeping in prayer!
