My family is going through so much right now. Finances, health, It feels like it never stops. I have been asking to feel God's presence and even a sigh that He is still with me. There is a woman who preaches and she calls herself an Apostle. Her followers said that if I don't believe that she is a vessel of God I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Since I don't believe or am unsure I am so afraid that God has left me. My husband hurt his back, his job isn't going well. My son who has been mentally and physically ill is having nosebleeds and no energy. He was just at the doctor but he needs to go back. I'm scared that all of these things that are happening are because of me being unsure of this woman who calls herself and Apostle. I feel lost. Please pray for us and that I feel the presence of God. Please pray that here is nothing seriously wrong with my son. I'm so scared. Thank you. God bless you. Carmen. My son's name is Jakeb and my husband's name is Robb.

O glorious Saint Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church and powerful wonder-worker, known for aiding the poor and the needy, humbly do I prostrate myself before you, acknowledging my weakness and my misery, and I beg you to intercede for me before Jesus of the Holy Wounds. You who, renouncing the riches and honors of this world to follow the poverty of Saint Francis, generously came to the aid of the poor and afflicted, obtain for me, through the merits of the Holy Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ and of His Sacred Heart, the financial grace that I so greatly need. I need this grace in order to go to confession, to return to worthy Communion, to enter some Seminary and become a Priest, if it be God's Holy Will, and to cease being psychologically violated. Do not abandon me, Saint Anthony, for I have suffered for many years, and I know that your intercession, obtained with such great charity and trust in God, has great power. Place within the glorious Wounds of Jesus all my petitions, needs, and afflictions. Obtain for me also, before the Lord, the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, of Saint Joseph, of my Guardian Angel, of the Saints and Angels of God, and of the Souls in Purgatory, that I may set my life in order and abandon all sin. I also ask, with this financial grace, to help some Seminary with a generous donation, to spread the Devotion to the Holy Wounds and to Sister Maria Marta Chambon, and to serve God better. O Saint Anthony, finder of lost things and friend of the poor, do not abandon me. Amen!
Please pray for the health, happiness and longevity of my family and friends. Please also pray that I am able to complete my marathon tomorrow happily and healthily despite the bad weather coming.

Dear St. Anthony please help my family and I to find peace in our lives and to be more accepting of others. Please remember those who have no one to pray for them this day. Thank you to those who pray for the needs of others and those who so generously provide this space for us to pray.
