St. Therese, please help grant this miracle I ask for my family. Please strengthen our faith and guide us to always follow God's ways. Please bring us closer to God as we go through difficult times. Please remove all the negative influences that come our way. Please help my marriage grow stronger so we can be good parents and make good decisions for our family. Thank you for all the blessings.

I am offering my prayers today for three great men of faith, two Catholic priests – Father Casey Cole & Father James Martin, both American clergy who serve in the USA & for Reverend Robert Coupland, an Anglican priest serving in London, England. These men are kind, warm, inclusive priests, they are great role models of how to be a priest, with dedication, inclusion & love. Pray for them & their ministry to be blessed especially during this upcoming Lent/Easter season. Thank you
