If possible, please intercede on my behalf for the following blessings: Please support my daughter and her boyfriend, guiding them away from any offenses against our beloved Lord. Help him to overcome their various addictions and lead them to become a resilient and loving couple. Grant them fulfilling and successful work opportunities. Most importantly, draw them nearer to our Heavenly Mother, Father, and their Son, Jesus. Please assist all those I have committed to pray for, helping them find the answers they seek. Also, watch over everyone who has no one to pray for them, whether they are alive or deceased. Lift up the young people in our world, especially those I know personally. Guide them toward our Heavenly Mother, Father, and their Son, Jesus. Please pray for the souls in Purgatory. Especially the ones on my list.

Brothers and sisters, please, pray for us! At this time, my family and I are in a complicated spiritual state My daughter had an orthopaedic limb reconstruction two months ago. In the course of her healing and nursing her at home, she appeared to be possessed by demons whose actions were intended to hurt her left reconstructed limb. She tries to harm herself or commit suicide; she wants to harm us, parents and other people. After eating, she claims the food has been eaten by the demons; thus, she remains hungry. She has not been sleeping for several consecutive days. She speaks incoherently and claims to see those aiming at killing her. She has seizures, faints, shakes and has severe, uncontrollable anger; she claims unbearable pain after a seizure. Please, for her health and our family, under this test.
