Prayer is a beautiful, as well as essential, way to ask for Our Lord’s help and blessings.  Even when God doesn’t answer our prayers as we might like, He gives us the grace in any case to cope better with our problems and tragedies .

Please don’t feel that any request is too small!  Our Lord Himself said “Ask, and you shall receive” (John 16:24).  Your requests become so much more powerful when others are praying for you as well.  Also, it is a truly divine form of charity to pray for others, especially for those most in need.

There are many different prayers and petitions to choose from and some are shown below.  We hope that students and other visitors to our site will find one or more of these to resonate and perhaps carry a special meaning in your heart.
