Please pray for protection and healing from trauma. My son, who has autism and severe anxiety, is being severely harassed and bullied online on YouTube, and a group of people are stalking him and actively trying to destroy his character through lies and defamation His face, voice, art, and private messages are being published, and YouTube does nothing to stop it. I fear for his mental, emotional, and physical life. This has been going on for a year and a half because he ended a friendship that became toxic. This individual refuses to leave him alone and has spread gossip and lies to other mutual friends, causing my son to have no choice but to walk away from his entire friend group. And yet, it still continues. The main disgruntled previous friend posts videos every few days and threatens him. The legality issues are complicated, and we do not have financial resources to fight this. My greatest fear is for my sons mental health and safety. Please pray for miraculous intervention, and it stops.
How do you explain that a spammer or a bot has a Twitter account, an Instagram account, a Google account, and a Facebook account that has been blocked? You bunch of imbeciles, assholes, and idiots! You haven't understood that I am a real person, a victim of the Algerian electronic police.

**Lord Jesus, Fill my heart with Your light. Just as Hanuman held Rama’s name as his breath and strength, help me to hold Your holy name in my heart with deep faith. Teach me courage in every situation. Teach me to see what is right and to do it with love. Calm my mind, quiet my fears, and make my heart steady in Your presence. Let Your peace become my inner anchor. Let Your justice guide every action. Let Your mercy flow through my words. Jesus, be my strength, my awareness, my guide, and my peace. Stay with me today and always. Amen.**
Saint Anthony, please help me to strengthen my faith and trust that when I surrender everything to our Lord, He will take care of it all. If you could kindly intercede for me regarding the following petitions: Assist my daughter and her boyfriend as they struggle with their addictions. Lead them away from any actions that offend our dear Lord. Guide them closer to each other, helping them support one another, and help them find our Lord, His Son Jesus, and our Blessed Mother Mary. Help those I have promised to pray for, guiding them toward positive solutions in their difficulties. Watch over the youth of the world—especially those I know—protecting them from evil and helping them find their way to our Lord, His Son Jesus, and our Blessed Mother Mary. Please pray for the souls in purgatory, particularly those on my list. Intercede for all who lack someone to pray for them, whether they are living or departed. Finally, I humbly seek Your help with my financial difficulties.
Father, I ask You to bless my family, relatives, friends, and those I care deeply for, especially FT. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit now. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is a need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and comings. Amen.
In thanksgiving for favors received, for persecuted Christians everywhere, all suffering from terrorism, war, or natural disasters, the sick and dying, the souls in purgatory, the homeless, the hungry, the abused, the lonely, those seeking work, those with relationship concerns, caregivers, guardians, first responders, and our special and unspoken intentions, we pray to the Lord.
