Daughter Sarah needs prayers

My heart goes out to you, Dean. I will pray for Sarah.

 

Prayers for Sarah and your family with an afternoon rosary that I will be praying in the next 15 minutes.

Dean I realise that emotions may be very high at the moment, but this is a good thing!

Often teenagers need to see our emotions to be able to feel theirs and also to feel safe in sharing theirs.

God Bless you and your family.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

O Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus, be a mother to Dean and his family, especially his daughter Sarah Now. Amen

St Joseph model of Fathers........ pray for Dean and pray for all Fathers and all who call on your great and powerful intercession. Amen

 

Thank you all for your prayers! We truly appreciate them. We spent the last 12 hours in hospitals and clinics. She has been admitted to in care so they can watch her, most likely for a week or so. We will continue to pray and we appreciate you offering them up too. Love this community

 

Did you know, Dean (and Rory Rory, Bryon and others parents at your wits end worrying about your children), that February is the month of the Holy Family? According to EWTN, it is fitting to pray this Novena to the Holy family during February: http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/novena/holyfamily.htm

 

Thank you Dolours I've taken the liberty to print out the link you gave. It is beauiful!

This novena is most appropriately begun nine days before December 28, the feast of the Holy Family. It is also fitting to pray it during the month of February, which is consecrated to the Holy Family.

Novena Prayer:

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of loving the Holy Church as I should, above every earthly thing, and of ever showing my love by deeds.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of openly professing as I should, with courage and without human respect, the faith that I received as your gift in holy Baptism.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of sharing as I should in the defense and propagation of the Faith when duty calls, whether by word or by the sacrifice of my possessions and my life.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of loving my family and others in mutual charity as I should, and establish us in perfect harmony of thought, will, and action, under the rule and guidance of the shepherds of the Church.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of conforming my life fully as I should to the commandments of God’s law and those of His Holy Church, so as to live always in that charity which they set forth.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I ask in particular this special favor:
(Mention your favor).

Dedication of One’s Family:
Most loving Jesus, by Your sublime and beautiful virtues of humility, obedience, poverty, modesty, charity, patience, and gentleness, You blessed with peace and happiness the family which You chose on earth. In Your mercy look upon my family. We belong to You, for we have received Your many blessings over many years and we entrust ourselves to Your loving care.

Look upon my family in Your loving kindness, preserve us from danger, give us help in time of need, and grant us the grace to persevere to the end in imitation of Your holy Family, so that having revered You and loved You faithfully on earth, we may praise You eternally in heaven.

Mary, Dearest Mother, to your intercession we have recourse, knowing that your Divine Son will hear your prayers. Glorious patriarch, Saint Joseph, help us by your powerful prayers and offer our prayers to Jesus through Mary’s hands. Amen.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, being subject to Mary and Joseph, You sanctified family life by Your beautiful virtues. Grant that we, with the help of Mary and Joseph, may be taught by the example of Your holy Family, and may after death enjoy its everlasting companionship.

Lord Jesus, help us ever to follow the example of Your holy Family, that in the hour of our death Your glorious Virgin Mother together with Saint Joseph may come to meet us, and we may be worthy to be received by You into the everlasting joys of heaven. You live and reign forever. Amen.
