Here are the prayer requests for this month.  I pray for these intentions daily.  You can pray for all of them or some of them.  If you want to submit a prayer request, see the instructions at the end of the list.  Let’s pray for each other.  Please notify me of any favors granted or any praise reports.

1. The Church: May the Lenten season increase all virtues, especially faith, hope and love in all hearts, especially in priests, deacons, seminarians, religious lives, consecrated lives/orders, ministers/volunteers in parish ministries and potential vocations.
   • Pope Francis
   • ministry Prevención y Rescate
2. Birthdays: May God bless and foster hope in all who celebrate another year of life.
   • Giovanni Manuel Valadez, Jorge Rene Garcia, Roberto Sic Garcia, Wendy Gomez, José Garcia, Diana Garcia
3. An end to abortion: May God touch the hearts of women who are considering abortion to trust in Him and keep the child.
4. Countries hit by natural disasters (weather, fire & earthquakes), conflicts and struggles: May God protect the people and lead them to safety through the efforts of first responders and government leaders.
5. Job search: May God encourage those seeking work and prompt employers to hire them.
6. Conversions: May God touch these harden hearts to hear the voice of His Son, especially through the loving actions of others and through reparations to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
7. Healing and prosperity:
   • Cris: Scoring top marks in board exams and getting into a good university.
   • Patita’s grandson: allergies
   • Corazon: Surgery and recovery.
8. Families: May God heal them so they resolve their difficulties. Thank you, God, for helping them now.
   • Giovanni, Daniel & Isabelle
9. For faithful departed: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Jesus, console their families.

How to submit prayer request:

If you have a prayer request, fill out the contact form which can be found on the top menu bar (highlighted in blue).  In the subject drop-down box, choose “Monthly Prayer Request.”  Type your request under the Comment label.  (It looks like the text box is not there.  But it’s there.  Just click right below the label and the cursor will appear.)  If you have privacy concerns, please include only your first name.  I will post them on the first Wednesday of the month and update the list throughout the month. You will find the current list by clicking on “Monthly Prayer Requests” at the top menu bar (highlighted in red).

I will cap the list at 10 so I can focus my energies on a small list.  At the start of the month, I’ll wipe the slate clean and start again
