Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Please pray for my brother who is going through a severe depression right now. He came home from a trip to find his wife gone and divorce papers on the table (they are not Catholic). My parents are worried that he might harm himself. Thank you in advance.

Thank you all! We are finding out more about their situation and it looks like my brother has been spiraling down for a long time. I knew he had some issues, but didn't know specifics. Please pray for his mental health and the healing of his marriage as that is still a possibility.

I now appears that reconciliation is not being considered. Please pray that my brother will still get the help he needs regarding his mental health instead of dismissing everyone's concerns. Thank you for your prayers. I must confess that it has been hard for me to pray for him (although I am still trying) and it has been a comfort to know that you all are. Thanks ever so much!!!!
