Maryknoll Lay Missioners

Where the Compassion of the Faithful Transforms Lives

If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.

St. Thomas of Villanova

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm, and he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and He has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Mary. He has remembered his promise to her of His love, the promise He made to our fathers and to His children forever. The Almighty God has done great things for me, his humble servant and holy is his Name. Lord, I praise your holy Name. Give me the wisdom and love necessary to pray for my enemies. Heavenly Father, let my prayer be heard in your presence. I offer it to you through your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. For those who are ill, the suffering and the dying. Lord Jesus, I place your children who are ill and suffering at the foot of your cross. I place them between John and your Mother, Mary. My faith in you Lord Jesus is that if it be the will of God our Father, that one drop of your most precious blood fall upon your children and heal them. And if it be the will of our Father that He bring them unto Himself, that we rejoice when they join the Trinity in paradise and that their loved ones give them back and that you comfort them in their loss. Holy, holy is His Name. Mary

Please pray for all Catholics to come home to the faith. I was away for 28 years and just came home and it feels so peaceful and joyful. Pray others come back to the faith and can someday feel the same joy and peace of Christ and our Holy Mother.

Your photographs are lovely, especially the photographs of architectural detail. I am writing a book on Maginnis and TRULY APPRECIATE the work you show us on these pages. I would love to include some of your photos in the book! If this is all right with you, perhaps you would let me know how we would go about it! CDM's connection to Maryknoll through his partner's brother gives special meaning to the buildings in NY and CA. Congratulations in capturing the detailed care which shows this to us!

I have a friend of mine whose dad, which happens to be a single parent, rediagnosed with brain cancer and a brain tumor, who has 3 children at home, and he is on medical leave. So please pray that my friends father heals and that their family may return to normalcy. They have a lot of support from family, friends, and church but they still need billions of prayers. Thanks

I believe God sent me my soulmate, Mario. We were so in love and it started to get serious and he backed away. He said he still feels the same, but that he needs time to heal from his past divorce. I pray for healing over Mario and that God would turn his heart back to me and what we had-a healthy, loving relationship. Amen and Thank you!
