Pray for my dad because he's having surgery today to have a mass removed from his neck.

Although I do not believe in any deity I will silently wish that all good luck and happiness in the world reaches your dad and helps him.

Coffeehouse (you need a nickname, any suggestions? This one is too long ), though this thread is called prayer, it is meant for everyone, no matter what your religious point of view.
Thinking of someone else doesn't require a religion per se, just a heart for others and kindness.

I think I vented in the venting thread about the boy I grew up with having a psychosis?
He's getting really bad, with a lot of illusions, manic episodes, etc. Please pray for him, but also for his parents and other relatives. It's very hard on them and this sort of mental condition means he will have to be on medication for the rest of his life.

This seemed like the best match for this post, but it's still a bit off...anyway...
Congratulations, Lief, on this, the day of your reception into the Catholic Church! May He who began a good work in you be faithful to complete it. And Happy Pentecost to the rest of you (except Hector )!

Oh, congratulations Lief! Thanks for telling, Gwai.
And I think you can use this thread for that sort of stuff too. Brings some happiness in. Besides, prayers can also be used for thanking God, not just asking for things Though this isn't meant to be a "Christians only" thread! (just to make that clear ^_^)

My prayers go to those innocent lives taken in Myanmar, and those who have been rendered homeless, from the cyclone that hit.

I wrote about the experience of being confirmed in the Catholic Answers forum. I've been there for a few months, now. I'll post here what I wrote there, this morning. I was extremely excited while describing it, and I still am! Quote:
