  1. Thank you St. Marie Goretti for your intercession for all those suffering from unknown illnesses, including myself. I ask for your healing of fatigue and weakness. Thank you for answering my prayers when I’ve had pain.

  2. Dear Friends, Brothers, and Sisters,
    I hope with all my heart, that you can please, pray for me.
    The reason being is that my Love Life is an absolute train wreck, I feel like I really am cursed, after all.
    I am 24 years old, and I have never had a girlfriend. I am so sick and tired, of losing in the game of Love. All I want more than anything is to finally win the girl for once. Just once, I want to finally win the girl.
    I really like this girl I met. Her name is Marisela, and she likes me too. This is great news because this means that I have a chance with Marisela, but I am not the only competition. She is out of my league and I do not have the smoothest game.
    I hope with all my heart, that I have not made any mistakes that are too bad between Marisela and myself. That everything will work out between us. That we can and will be together. And that it will all happen soon.
    I hope with all my heart, that all this pain I have had to go through, was just a test by God to see if my feelings for Marisela were genuine, real, and sincere, and that she was not brought into my life, just so that she could be ripped away.
    I am not perfect, but I hope with all my heart, that I have been a good enough person, a nice enough person, and a generous enough person, to have finally earned the right to be happy too.
    I am asking you because I really need your help.
    Please, pray for me. Pray that I finally win the girl, this girl, Marisela, in this game of Love.
    Sincerely,
    James
