Prayer Warriors Needed To Pray For Addicts

Visit the forum of this group.
Group created by YearningforGod

Many of us are somehow touched directly or inderectly by a life, a helpless soul who suffers from an addiction. It is very disheartening to feel impotent. Addictions come in many sorts of disguises and they hurt everyone involved. This group is here to ask for prayers and offer prayers for those bound by the chains of addiction. Let us pray together for them, for their families, their loved ones, and all else affected by this bondage.

GROUP UPDATES:

We invite you all to pray with us a novena to Saint Dymphna. Novena runs from Nov. 16 Wednesday - Nov. 24 Thursday.
Also, feel free to ask family members and friends to join us too.

Here's the novena prayer to Saint Dymphna.

St. Dymphna
Prayer...Lord God, Who has graciously chosen Saint Dymphna to be the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders, and has caused her to be an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who invoke her intercession, grant through the prayers of this pure, youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all who suffer from these disturbances, and especially to those for whom we now pray.
(Here mention those for whom you wish to pray.)

We beg You to accept and grant the prayers of Saint Dymphna on our behalf. Grant to those we have particularly recommended patience in their sufferings and resignation to Your Divine Will. Fill them with hope and, if it is according to Your Divine Plan, bestow upon them the cure they so earnestly desire. Grant this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

    Thank you James for the lovely prayers For Families -

    Oh so nice that you were given that amazing pic on a tile for Christmas, lots of little angels and our Mother to watch over and be with you.


    For Families Torn by Addiction

    We pray, O God of hope,
    for all families
    whose lives are torn and disrupted
    by drugs and alcohol.
    Enable them to identify the illness.
    Strengthen them to seek help.
    Bless them with the power of your love,
    which imparts transformation and wholeness
    to those who trust in your name.
    Grant that as they walk this tortured road,
    they may journey together
    and bound close in the bond of love.
    Amen.

    Amen YearningforGod amen !

    God of mercy, we bless You in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who ministered to all who come to Him. Give Your strength to (Name) Your servant. bound by the chains of addiction. Enfold him/her in Your love and restore him/her to the freedom of God's children. Lord, look with compassion on all those who have lost their health and freedom. Restore to them the assurance of Your unfailing mercy, and strengthen them in the work of recovery. To those who care for them, grant patient understanding and a love that perseveres. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

    We must pray without ceasing, in every occurrence and employment of our lives - that prayer which is rather a habit of lifting up the heart to God as in a constant communication with Him.

    Ah Dee, that is so beautiful a prayer. I believe it is one of the oldest known prayers next to the Our Father, if I remember right.
    The picture of Our Lady of the Angels, I just received this picture printed on a large tile as a Christmas present. Just beautiful !
    Thanks Dee !!! Merry Christmas !

    Sub Tuum Praesidium
    We fly to thy patronage, O Holy Mother of God
    Despise not our petitions in our necessities
    But deliver us always from all dangers
    O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen
