Hi! I'd like to request prayers for the following intentions: A retreat for couples that will take place this weekend. That God will work His way in the hearts of those who will be participating. My free wekend with my family, starting today. That we can arrive to the hotel safely, have a...

Requesting prayers for all the people imprisoned unjustly, and for them to get their freedom back, and a heart that forgives.

Hey guys. I'd like you to pray for my friend C; he has been drifting away from God during the last four days, to the point that he seems to be growing bitter against Him. It's sad to see him like that, after he has been an extraordinary server at church.

Hey guys. I was lookin up for the Orthodox Morning and Evening Prayers. I found this website which has the Evening Prayers. Is the same prayer used independently of the day in the liturgical year? Who in the Orthodox Church are obliged, so to say, to recite this prayer? Are there any other...

Just want to gather some thoughts on this. What is the Church's mission, its raison d' être, its essential purpose?

I know quite some apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, but so far, I only know of two apparitions of Jesus, under the devotions of the Divine Mercy and of the Sacred Heart. Are there other apparitions of Jesus?

In most parishes I visited today, sacred images were covered in purple clothes. Should I do the same with the images in my house, or is this not required?

The canon of the Holy Scriptures is closed already, but I was just wondering if Sacred Tradition has "ended" (i.e.: it finished with the death of the last apostle), and if so, when exactly did this happen?

Recently, my pastor gave me notice of at least three different men who recently became Catholic (at heart). I don't have much information on whether they are already baptized or not, but they were ex-Pentecostals or ex-Nondenominationals. Since I was an ex-Baptist, he wanted me to help create a...

From what I've heard, we are not supposed to be doing penance on Sundays, except for the ones assigned as a result of sacramental Confession. That means on Sundays we can take a "break" of our Lent promises (abstinence, fasting, etc.). My questions are: -Is it a grave sin to continue to fast...

I'm a member of two Charismatic prayer groups in my parish. Both share the following outline: -Animation -Invoking the Holy Spirit -Prayers of forgiveness, praise, and thanksgiving -Reading and short meditation on the gospel of the day -Preaching -Prayers over specific intentions -Closing...

Please pray for my finances. I'm exhausted with too many expenses as of late, including car, visits to the gastroenterologist, and other things I could delay no longer.

... no, I'm not talking of the Divine Office. I'm talking of the good old vigils. Like staying away in prayer and stuff. Have you ever done it? If so, how many hours did it last, and what exactly did you do during that time? I've heard some people just pray. Others also do the rosary, do...

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genetrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus nostris, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta. Amen. We place ourselves under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not turn away from what we ask...

When I was reading the Catechism a few months ago, I remember that it talked about full immersion baptism as one that held a special significance. Is full immersion baptism performed anywhere in the Latin rite?

"... baila, baila, baila!" I love working with the preteen and teen group in my parish. It helps me feel rejuvenated. :clap: It's great to be able to teach them some of the things that I've been learning during my first year as a Catholic (I was baptized in November 16th last year... so...

I don't know if this has something to do with my GERD, gastritis, or something else, but when I jump more around 15 times, I start feeling dizzy and get an upset stomach. This doesn't happen when I run or do any other kind of exercise. Is there any explanation on why this is happening?

Someone once said: "There is no saint without a past, and no sinner without a future." One of my friends once had a book on the weaknesses and past lives of saints. I'm currently sharing with some friends about this. Do you know about some saints who in the past were characterized by...

... what does the "DC" in "9V DC charger" mean?
