An Urgent Prayer Request

by | Aug 14, 2009 | Prayer Request | 8 comments

…for Mary Ellen Barrett’s son Ryan, who has been missing from a camping trip since yesterday evening.   He is 14 years old and is also autistic.  Please pray for his safe return!

Update from 4Real:

We have heard tragic news that Ryan’s body has been recovered. Please pray for this family and all who are suffering. 

Please join us today in praying the Seven Sorrows for Mary Ellen. 

Update from Michele:

We are so very sorry to have to share the devastating news that Ryan Barrett has drowned.  Our heartfelt love and prayers are extended to Mary Ellen and Dave and all the Barrett family. Words cannot convey the depth of this sadness.  We pray that God will grant them strength and peace in this horrible time of loss.

Please, please, please pray for Mary Ellen and her family…
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.    And may perpetual light shine upon him.  
May the soul of Ryan Barrett and all the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace.

    I'm a little unclear about the prayer. Do you just read the sections with each individual sorrow and the prayer at one sitting? I'm assuming it is like that and not a novena-type prayer… God bless Mrs. Barrett and her family. Jesus have mercy on them. We will also be praying for the repose of Ryan's soul. Requiescat in pace.

    My rosary this morning was to ask Mary to wrap her arms around him and his family. My heart goes out to them in their loss and I will continue to keep them in my prayers. Another angel has been borne into heaven this day. PJ

    It is 3 now, the hour of our Lord's Passion. I just said the Divine Mercy chaplet for this precious family as well as the requested prayer.

    wow. I am so sad. My kids are very affected by it too…it seems as if there has been quite a lot of sad news about lost kids or tragic things that have happened to little ones lately. It sure makes me hold mine 'a little longer', saying 'I love you' a whole lot more…
    God bless, Mary @ Cheerios

    That makes me so sad.

    I know so many people going through hard times right now. I hope they all will be blessed with comfort and peace.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
