I’m experiencing extreme depression and anxiety. I’m in tremendous pain and distress. I can’t even get out of bed. Please pray for me. Ask God to lead me out of this darkness.

Dear St. Therese, please carry my prayer for my mother, Ann, to our Holy Father. Mom is in hospital and is suffering from Parkinson's and Lupus. She's been a nurse to others for almost 50 years, and is praying God will take her in her sleep. His will be done, of course. Her sisters and brothers are all gone, and Dad passed in 2016. If it is God's will that she go, please ask Him to take her gently. If He has more work for her to do, please ask Our Lord to give her the health and strength to do so. Her faith has been strong her entire life. I'm praying my rosary daily, but I think I need a few people to help me out. I've never asked for anything from the community, but if someone could please lend their voice to add to mine, I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you, St. Therese, and the Holy Spirit for being with her in her need.

St. Therese watch over my grandson yet in the womb and bless him to grow perfectly healthy full term without any abnormality. Intercede with Jesus to make the extra fluid in the kidneys and brain go away and let him be born healthy and strong to glorify God. Please send signs of roses to reassure us that nothing is impossible for God.

Dear Saint Therese,

Please pray for Barbara. She is one of the kindest,most caring people in the world, and now her family is ganging up against her for trying to help a troubled grandchild. At first everyone was delighted that Barbara took the girl in after her father threw her out. Now they are blaming Barbara because the girl has not made enough prigress. Everyone agrees that the girl needs professional help, but Barbara can't force an 18 year old into counseling. They all need help.

Thank you so very much for helping in this sad situation.
