Petitions – 18 October 2025

1. Dearest Mother Mary,

I have received my BTO appointment that will be in 2 weeks’ time. I am anxious and worried that it might be rejected or cancelled before the 2 weeks. Please calm my heart and help me believe in Jesus’ plans for me. Please intercede for me dear Mother, that Jesus will lead me to the right home, and that I will be able to finance everything smoothly.

Your loving daughter.

2. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

Please pray for me as I prepare to apply for admission to a law training program in London that will allow me to become a qualified lawyer. When I was younger, I was wrongly accused of a small offence, and ended up being charged. Because I could not afford the long trial, I accepted a fine even though I was not guilty. Mother, you know my heart and the truth of what had happened. The case has already been cleared under the law, but I still worry that it might affect my application. Please intercede for me that God’s mercy will open the way for me to move forward, so that I may serve others with honesty and justice as a lawyer. Amen.

3. Most Holy Mother Mary,

I entrust my children into your tender care. I lift up to you my newborn daughter. Please keep her safe from all harm, guard her under your mantle, and may she be blessed with strong health and a joyful spirit as she grows. May she always walk in the light of God’s love. Mother Mary, I ask you to intercede for my family.  Amen.

4. Dearest Mother Mary,

I have been in debt to the bank for a long time. The loan amount is growing every month because of the interest charged, and I do not have enough business income to repay it. Please pray for me that God will give me the strength to tide over the current difficulties, and free me from the bondage of financial obligation. Thank you.

Your Catholic son.

5. Dear Mother,

I have just returned to my hometown in the Philippines after an unsuccessful search for work in Singapore and Malaysia. My contract in Singapore ended after nearly 11 years, and now I am back—but I feel lost and unsure of my direction in life. I don’t know how to begin again. I cannot depend on my family, and I feel very sad, alone, and confused. I also don’t know how to help or support my brother with his cancer treatment and eye condition. Please help me stay strong and not lose my faith. Remind me that I am always with you, no matter what I have or don’t have right now. Help me find a new opportunity and open a new door. Amen.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

I ask Jesus to forgive me of my sins and help me to be a better Catholic, and to have stronger Faith.  Please intercede for me to overcome this very tiring and depressing journey, and for my upcoming chemotherapy treatment. My husband is my only care giver, please bless him with strength and health.

Your eternally grateful daughter.

7. Dearest Mother Mary,

Please intercede for my elderly mother who is suffering from lymphoma cancer. By the grace of God, her treatment was smooth. She needs to go another treatment for her brain disease. Please pray for her healing, and may she respond well to the new drug treatment.

Your faithful daughter.

8. Dear Mother Mary,

My daughter is so scared and stressed about her exams. I think she realises now that there were gaps in her prep process that are now showing in the prelim results. Please help her to turn to God in humility and faith through this trying period, so she emerges confident in her abilities. Please Mother Mary help us.

10. Dearest Mother Mary,

I pray for the protection and good health to my parents, me and my siblings, and to my loved ones.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Your daughter

11. Dearest Mother,

I ask for your intercession for my church friend. She recovered from breast cancer some years ago and recently received news that she has cancer in her womb. She will be having an operation. We pray that the cancer is contained and after the operation she will be in remission and can live out the rest of her life in peace with her children and grandchildren. Thank you.

Your loving daughter.

12. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

I place my beloved daughter into your loving care as she prepares for her board exams. You know her hard work and sacrifices. Please bless her with wisdom, understanding, and peace of mind. Calm her fears, strengthen her confidence, and help her remember all that she has studied. Protect her from doubt and distractions, and guide her to do her best. Mother Mary, I entrust her future to Jesus through your intercession. Stay close to her and lead her always to God’s will. Amen.
