7 requests to Our Lord, another middle French devotion from the book of hours.

Here's a translation:

  1. **"Sweet God, sweet Father, Holy Trinity, one God, guide me in honor of that counsel which You, in Your own wisdom, took when You sent Your holy angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to announce the message of our salvation. Lord, as this was true, look upon me with pity."** (Our Father)
  2. **"Fair Lord God, look upon me with pity in honor of that look You gave to the world when You sent Your sweet Son to die on earth for us. Lord, as this was true, look upon me with pity."** (Our Father)
  3. **"Fair Lord God, look upon me with pity in honor of that look You gave to Your disciples when You said, 'Whatever you ask of My Father, you shall receive.' Lord, as this was true, look upon me with pity, in Your honor and for my salvation."** (Our Father)
  4. **"Fair Lord God, I beg You to look upon me in honor of that look You gave to the apostle Saint Peter when he had denied You three times in one night, and You had pity on him, for he wept bitterly from his heart and with his eyes. Lord, as this was true, look upon me with pity."** (Our Father)

Old middle French devotion, 15 joys of the Virgin.

http://manuscripts.org.uk/chd.dk/tutor/15joys.html

Here’s a translation of the prayer from Middle French to Modern English:

Sweet Lady of Mercy, Mother of pity, fountain of all good, who carried Jesus Christ for nine months in your precious womb and nursed Him with your sweet breasts, beautiful, most sweet Lady, we cry to you for mercy and beg you to pray to your dear Son, that He may be willing to teach us and grant us to live in such a way that we may come to His mercy, and to true confession and repentance for all the sins we have ever committed. And thus, as you pray to Him, beautiful, most sweet Lady, we will kneel fifteen times before your blessed image in honor and remembrance of the fifteen joys you had from your dear Son on earth. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when the holy angel Gabriel brought you the news that the Savior of the whole world would come into you. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may come into our hearts spiritually. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when you went to the mountains to visit Saint Elizabeth, your cousin; and she told you that you were blessed among all women, and that the fruit of your womb was blessed. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may satisfy us. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when you felt Him move in your precious womb. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may move our hearts to love Him, to know Him, to serve and honor Him. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when He was born from you on Christmas Day. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may grant us His blessed nativity for my redemption. Amen. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when the shepherds found you and your dear Son. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that we may find Him in all our tribulations. Amen. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when the three kings came to offer your dear Son gold, myrrh, and frankincense, and He received them. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may receive our prayers. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when you offered Him in the temple, and Saint Simeon received Him in his arms. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may receive our souls when theythey depart rom our bodies. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when you lost your dear Son and then found Him among the Jews in Jerusalem. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that if we have lost Him through our faults and sins, we may find Him again through your holy merits and requests. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when you were invited to the wedding at Cana where your dear Son turned water into wine. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may turn the wickedness of our hearts into doing good works. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had when your Son Jesus Christ fed five thousand men with five barley loaves and two fish. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may guide our five senses. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy and bitter compassion you felt when your dear Son Jesus Christ suffered death and passion on the cross for us. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that the death He suffered may deliver us from the death of hell. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had on Easter Day when your dear Son rose from death to life. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that we may rise in such a way on the fearful day of judgment that we may see Him for the salvation of our souls. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had on Ascension Day when your dear Son ascended into heaven. Sweet Lady, pray to Him that He may draw our hearts and all our thoughts after Him. Hail Mary.

Most sweet Lady, for that great joy you had on the day of your Assumption when your dear Son took you into heaven and crowned you at His right hand. Sweet Lady, pray to Him for me and for all sinners, that God may grant them grace to leave their sins and amend their lives. And for the departed, that they may have mercy and pardon for their sins. Amen. Hail Mary.

Another version:

glorious Lady, we greet you** Most humbly, for those fifteen joys
That you had on earth, sweet pure Lady,
Through them we pray you to send us comfort.
Hail Mary.

**I**
Pray for us, blessed virgin,
For the salvation that came from God the Father,
Which the archangel brought to you in the message
That you would be the Virgin Mother of the Son of God.
Hail Mary.

**II**
Obtain grace for us for that joy
You had when you met your cousin
Elizabeth, who greeted you on the way
And blessed you when you entered her house.
Hail Mary.

**III**
Sweet Lady, have mercy
On our souls for that joy
You had when in your womb you felt
The Son of God move, full of wisdom.
Hail Mary.

**IV**
Worthy Virgin, who bore the Savior,
For that great joy, please help us,
The one you had when you gave birth to Him,
And come to us when we must die.
Hail Mary.

**V**
O Mary, guard us from false deeds
And from the snare of the subtle enemy,
For the joy you had when the shepherds
Found you and your blessed dear Son.
Hail Mary.

**VI**
For the great joy and consolation,
Sweet Lady, that you had when the three kings
Came to offer your dear Son, in great devotion,
Keep us from all misfortune.
Hail Mary.

**VII**
For that joy you had, dear Lady,
When you offered your dear Son, most worthy, in the temple,
Please guard our bodies and souls from harm
And grant us to live by your good example.
Hail Mary.

**VIII**
Comfort our weary, lost hearts For the joy you had when you found
Your dear child whom you had lost,
And in the Temple, Lady, you found Him.
Hail Mary.

**IX**
Virgin, pray that your dear Son
May be inclined to help the world,
For that great joy you had at the wedding of Saint Archdeacon,
When He turned water into wine by divine power.
Hail Mary.

**X**
That our bodies may be protected from all evil,
Pray to your Son, for the sacred joy
You had when, with five barley loaves and two fish,
He fed five thousand men in the meadow.
Hail Mary.

**XI**
For the joy that dwelt within you,
Most sweet Lady, on that day
When your dear Son rose from death,
May heavenly joy be given to the world.
Hail Mary.

**XII**
Sweet Lady, for the full joy
You had at Easter when your Son appeared to you,
Resurrected, hear our prayers,
And place in us the death that He died.
Hail Mary.

**XIII**
Pray to your Son that He may draw us after Him,
For the joy you had at the Ascension,
When He ascended to Heaven, that is the truth,
And thus may we truly find salvation.
Hail Mary.

**XIV**
Sweet Lady, for that joy
You had when the Holy Spirit came
To comfort the Apostles’ desire,
May we be blessed in the same way.
Hail Mary.

**XV**
Worthy Virgin, for the complete joy
You had on the day of your Assumption,
When you ascended to Heaven,
Remove the root of sin from us and grant us devotion.
Hail Mary.

God bless y'all.

In need of prayers

Hi. I would really appreciate it if anyone who sees this could pray for my mom and unborn baby sibling. My mom fears it's an ectopic pregnancy, which means the baby has 0% chance of making it. Please pray that they pregnancy turns out healthy, or at least has a chance. I hate to see my mom suffer and would hate to lose a sibling. Thank you!

Update: Mom had an ultrasound this morning and confirmed that it was not an ectopic pregnancy, but that the baby measured two weeks smaller than it should with no heartbeat. It was a missed miscarriage. I haven't seen her in person yet since she isn't home yet so I don't know how she's doing and I don't know about my dad either, but I'm heartbroken. Please pray.

Pray for my husband and our marriage

We have hit a really big rough spot, to say the least.

It feels like a lot more than just a rough spot.

My husband is always, always angry at me. Nothing I do is right. He’s mad at me over everything and says such mean things.

I am not looking for advice and being told to leave him.

I am asking to please pray with me in asking God to please dissolve the anger towards me, and to restore his love for me and respect. To please heal whatever is causing him to act this way towards me.

Thank you.

Prayers for my grandmother

My grandmother is 75 years old and two days ago she had a heart attack and fell down the stairs, she is currently in the hospital on life support with a broken neck and a brain injury. I have been doing what i can and praying for her but if even just one person could keep her in their thoughts and prayers, it would mean the world to us. It may sound selfish to want to pray for her to come back to us, but there is so much she still has to see and do, so much love left to give and receive.

Her name is Mary, she was raised as a devout Irish Catholic and has always held strong in her faith. In 2021 my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer and not long after that my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, against all odds they both beat it. They have been married for 55 years and they deserve more time together. 2 years ago today my cousin had a little boy, the first great-grandchild and they were absolutely overjoyed, today he opened the present she bought for him before her accident. She deserves to watch him grow up together with my grandfather and hopefully to see me and my brothers also get married and add to the family ourselves.

She has been the perfect grandmother, I have never met anyone so loving, caring, attentive, understanding and totally selfless. I can only hope to be half the woman that she is. Our family has been through many struggles and she has always been the glue that held us together, I don't know what we would do without her. If you took the time to read this, thank you very much and if you do keep her in mind or in your prayers, it means more to me and my family than I could ever put into words.

I have made this post in another prayer community, apologies if this goes against community guidelines.

I need prayers

Hi, I have been a Catholic all my life, but along the way, I have strayed from the faith, I believe in our faith deeply, there were times, my prayers were answered. But now I seek my fellow brothers and sisters prayers for me. I have been struggling so badly, with work, finances and even my living place. Please pray for me, that I make it through. Thanking you in advance.

Is there a prayer for people facing the possibility of layoffs?

I was raised Catholic, but haven't been practicing faithfully since childhood. My spouse is facing the possibility of a massive wave of layoffs at her work. It has really shaken us up. Are there any prayers for people in this situation, or for organizations/companies going through turbulent times? Any saints we could beseech? Thank you.

Prayer against sins of the flesh.

Prayer Against the Sins of the Flesh (28 July 1998)

"Pray much for My youth . . . many will be lost due to (this) sin . . . I was naked in the sight of all men so that you shall defeat and kill the desires of the flesh which lead to this sin of fornication and adultery. Children, My adversary used this sin to claim all men to himself...Any sinner who constantly prays this prayer will gain true repentance...The more you pray it, the more (souls) will return to me and leave fornication and adultery. Many people will be lost due to the sins of the flesh. Work hard to save souls..."

Holy and merciful Father, Your only- begotten Son is standing naked in the sight of all men, so that Your people will know and fear Your holy law. Accept my humble prayer for all Your people who are living under iniquity, fornication and adultery, that through all the shame and disgrace of Your only-begotten Son, You will touch their lives for repentance and save them. May they, through the Precious Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ, which I plead to fall on their hearts, gain repentance and be saved. Through His shame make them bold for repentance. Amen.

Need a Healing Prayer Please

The health of my body has changed abruptly since September 2023. I’ve been suffering for months and I don’t think it’s ever going to go away. I don’t know what is wrong with me. My body is constantly restless/tense, and can’t relax (also itching a lot) as well as having urinary problems. I feel like I’m being tortured alive. I have no choice but to endure this unbearable sensation in my body, every second of every day for the rest of my life, because I can’t escape my body. I don’t think the doctors are going to be able to help me, and this terrifies me. I’m having suicidal thoughts because of this condition. I see no solution in sight, I’m giving up hope. Please help me, I’m desperate. I don’t know where else to ask for help. I don’t think I’m strong enough to endure this. Sometimes we take life for granted, until bad things happen to us. If you happen to take the time to read this, please pray for me and my situation. I appreciate all of your responses, God bless you 😇🙏
