  1. Please pray for us. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for several years. I have had one miscarriage and years of failed attempts. We both love kids and have always hoped to have one of our own. Please pray for us to have a healthy and happy child some day.

    • Dear Jennifer, our prayers are with you and for you and your intentions. God bless you both. I don’t know if you have looked into the Pope Paul VI Institute but Dr. Thomas Hilgers has developed a beautiful method of natural family planning that shows the markers that will guide the Creighton doctors to understand why you are not getting pregnant. Please check our the information that our ministry provide concerning this method or go to http://www.popepaulvi.com many doctors are not trained to understand this information so it is very important to seek guidance from a Creighton doctor and practitioner.

      Blessings,

  2. Please keep me and my unborn in your prayers. I am heading into my ninth week of pregnancy and praying everyday for a safe pregnancy as well as a healthy baby. I do have a 3 year old daughter who somehow sensed that mommy was having another baby before sharing the news with her. So, my husband and I are really excited to be blessed with another miracle from above. All I am asking is for prayers and more prayers everyday.

  3. hi. i found your website. This is actually for my sister. She has been trying to conceive. She lost one child. Not exactly which saint to turn to. God has his plans. and we must respect them. So any advice that you would have would be great. thanks

    • God bless you Tania for praying for your sister. The saint that would be good for intercession is one that you feel connected with like a friend. Not everyone you meet is going to connect with you so you will have to seek this out, as there is no magic answer when it comes to the saints and intercession. Elisabeth Leseur is a beautiful witness of HOPE through suffering and prayer as she was married and endured the cross of infertility as well as Mother Maria Louisa Josefa. Maria Louisa was married at a very young age, carried the cross of infertility with her doctor husband, became widowed and later would start a Carmelite order of sisters. Blessed John Paul II is also another that I feel a very close friendship with as his mother miscarried and died when he was very young. These are 3 very courageous people that are from the 20th century that you may also feel friendship with, all I know is pray and ask and seek the Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Adoration and the Most holy Rosary will lead you to one of these or those in the above post as close friends on the journey of intercession and prayer.

      A few that I like personally:

      *Servant of God Elisabeth Leseur
      Prayer – http://hannahstears.net/2011/10/elisabeth-leseur-servant-of-god/

      *Mother Maria Louisa Josefa of the Blessed Sacrament, Servant of God – http://www.carmelitesistersocd.com/mother-luisita/

      O Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, King and center of all hearts! Look with merciful love on the petitions we present to You through the intercession of Your servant, Mother Maria Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament. (Pause and request your petition). We humbly beseech You to glorify her who was always such a fervent lover of Your Sacred Heart by granting us these favors if they are for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.

      *Blessed John Paul II – http://www.piercedhearts.org/treasures/devotions/Novenas/jpii_novena.html

      PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATION OF BLESSED JOHN PAUL II

      O Blessed Trinity, we thank you for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Holy Spirit to shine through him. Trusting fully in your infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and the way of achieving eternal communion with you. Grant us, by his intercession, and according to your will the graces we implore, especially for [PAUSE TO ADD YOUR INTENTION] . . . we ask this, hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints. AMEN

      Conclusion

      (When prayed in the absence of a priest or deacon: make the Sign of the Cross as you say:)

      MAY THE LORD BLESS US, PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL AND BRING US TO EVERLASTING LIFE – AMEN

      Blessed John Paul II – PRAY FOR US!

      God bless!

  22. Hello,
    I’m sorry for all of those who have lost a child, my heart and prayers go out to all of you. My husband and I do not have any children. We both want to have children with all our hearts, and we have been trying for many years. I was diagnosed with a blood disorder that makes it difficult to get pregnant and being 37 years old doesn’t help much either. We have had four miscarriages and last month we lost our baby girl when I was 5 months pregnant. This was our first pregnancy that was moving along with out any problems, all our pregnancy test were coming back normal. We were so excited to be blessed with a healthy and strong baby girl, but when we went for our five month appointment there was no heartbeat. She had somehow tangled herself with the umbilical cord, we are so heart broken our families too. My husband and I both believe that God has his plans and does this for a reason and we must respect his will. Its very difficult to hear those words from the doctor that there is no heartbeat anymore. Please pray for us to get through this difficult moment together. My husband is trying to be strong for us, but especially for me. I know he’s trying to be positive for me, but at the same time I know he needs to cope with our loss too. I pray for him everyday so he can deal with this situation in a healthy way. Please pray for us so that our union and love can become stronger. I’m afraid that my husband might try to cope with his feeling in the wrong way with alcohol, drugs or even cheating on me. Please pray for us. Please pray for us, so that one day soon we can have a healthy, strong, and happy baby. I know God will bless us with our babies, hopefully sometime this year. Thank you and God bless you all.
