โThe “Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony“ is a prayer for the powerful intercession of St Anthony of Padua, often referred to as the Saint of Miracles and the Miracle Worker.
O holy Saint Anthony, gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity toward all Godโs creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers.
Miracles followed your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or need. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to grant also my request.
(Make your request here.)
The answer to my prayer may require a miracle; even so, you are the Saint of Miracles!
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was always full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Holy Infant Jesus, who loved to rest in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will always be yours. Amen.
“The Serenity Prayer“ is a well-known prayer that encourages focus on what is within a person’s control and to let go of worries and anxieties about things that cannot be changed, ultimately fostering a sense of inner peace and trust in God’s plan.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as a pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
This heartfelt “Prayer to St. Peregrine“, as a mighty wonder worker, recalls his own miraculous healing from cancer through Jesus’ intervention. In this prayer, we request St. Peregrine’s prayerful support for sick relatives and friends, asking for God’s gracious blessing and complete cure. The prayer concludes by seeking St. Peregrine’s intercession for gratitude towards every healing, favor, and grace from the Lord God, who is glorified in His saints.
We honor you, St. Peregrine, as a mighty wonder worker, because of the miracles obtained through your intercession for persons who had recourse to your kind and powerful prayers.

[Pause here and silently recall the names of the sick persons for whom you are praying.]

Intercede for us all, St. Peregrine, that we may be sincerely grateful for every healing, every favor and grace from the Lord God, who is ever glorified in His saints. Amen.
Theย “Prayer to St. Expedite” For Urgent Matters & Desperate Situationsย is a prayer often prayed by those who find themselves in a dire situation and seeking a quick and immediate resolution. Asย Saint Expediteย is venerated by some Catholics as the patron saint of emergencies, quick solutions, and swift action, he is often implored for his intercession.ย The name “Expedite” is derived from the Latin word “expeditus,” which means “fast” or “speedy.”
Prayer to St Expedite for Urgent Matters & Desperate Situations

The “Prayer to Jesus for Healing & Guidance” asks Our Lord to provide comfort, healing, and protection during a time of crisis. The prayer seeks Christ’s eternal wisdom to guide leaders in finding solutions and shining light during dark times.
O God, early in the morning I cry to You. Help me to pray and to concentrate my thoughts on You; I cannot do this alone. In me there is darkness, but with You there is light. I am lonely, but You do not leave me. I am feeble in heart, but with You there is help. I am restless, but with You there is peace. In me there is bitterness, but with You there is patience. I do not understand your ways, but You know the way for me. Restore me to liberty and enable me so to live now โthat I may answer before You and before me. Lord, whatever this day may bring, Your name be praised.
In this heartfelt “Prayer in Time of Loneliness”, we honestly express to our Heavenly Father the feelings of abandonment and loneliness that sometimes overcome us, especially in our darkest moments when we need Him most. Despite these struggles, we affirm our faith in His constant presence and ask Him to guide us in finding Him even during times of inner emptiness and despair.
Heavenly Father, there are days when I feel that You have forgotten about me. When I need You most, it seems I cannot reach You. Yet I do believe You are present during times of loneliness, and when my heart feels empty. Teach me to find You even in my darkest hours. Amen.
The Surrender Novena is a nine-day devotion based on the words Jesus spoke to Servant of God Father Dolindo Ruotolo (1882โ1970), an Italian priest known for his deep spiritual life and mystical experiences. The novena teaches us what true surrender really meansโnot a passive resignation, but a confident, childlike trust that places everything entirely in His hands. Each day, Jesus reminds us that our anxious striving often gets in the way of His grace, and that peace comes when we stop trying to direct God and simply let Him act.
As Jesus Himself says on Day 9: “A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender.”
Day 1 – Video for Day 1 Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to Me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to Me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 2 – Video for Day 2 Surrender to Me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to Me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their motherโs way.
Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act, saying โYou take care of it.โ
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 3 – Video for Day 3 How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to Me, looks at Me and says to Me, โYou take care of itโ, then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for Me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to Me, instead, you want Me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to.
So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: โHallowed be thy Nameโ, that is, be glorified in my need. โThy kingdom comeโ, that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with Your kingdom. โThy will be done on earth as it is in heavenโ, that is, in our need, decide as You see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to Me truly: โThy will be doneโ, which is the same as saying: โYou take care of itโ, I will intervene with all My omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 4 – Video for Day 4 You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to Me with faith: โThy will be done. You take care of itโ. I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say, โYou take care of it.โ I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than My loving intervention. By My love, I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 5 – Video for Day 5 And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in My arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their motherโs arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 6 – Video for Day 6 You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worseโto men themselves, trusting in their interventionโthis is what hinders My words and My views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from My protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in Me, rest in Me, surrender to Me in everything.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 7 – Video for Day 7 I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to Me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So donโt think about it any more, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in Me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 8 – Video for Day 8 Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of My grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in Me, believing in My goodness, and I promise you by My love that if you say โYou take care of itโ I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 9 – Video for Day 9 Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance, and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, โJesus, you take care of it.โ Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless My name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times)
Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.
A Prayer for Addiction offers comfort and hope to those suffering from addiction.

“A Prayer for Strength” was composed by Dr. Ken Boa, President of Reflections Ministries (https://www.kenboa.org)
The “Prayer for Strength“ is a powerful supplication to God, acknowledging that His word will always accomplish His divine will and purpose. In this prayer, we offer our petitions for strength based on the promises found in His eternal word. We are reminded that, although our human nature is frail and fleeting like the grass and flowers that fade, God’s word stands forever, and even when Heaven and Earth pass away, the words of Jesus will never pass away.
A Prayer for Strength
โFather, the word that goes forth from Your mouth will not return to You empty but will accomplish what You desire and achieve the purpose for which You sent it. I offer to You these prayers for strength, based on Your word. Your word teaches that I am like the grass that withers and my glory like the flower that fades, but Your word, my God, stands forever. Even when Heaven and Earth pass away, the words of Jesus will never pass away. How blessed is the person whose strength is in You. As they pass through the valley, they go from strength to strength. God of Armies, hear my prayers for strength. Amen.
