God's Blessings to you all xx
Please assist us with your prayers - for the healing of our unborn granddaughter. Her due date is on or around the 29th of May. At the 20 week ultrasound, it was discovered that she has multiple complications.
1 Cleft lip, palate and jaw
2. Heart complications
3 Kidney complications
She will need to undergo many operations over a period of many years. On her face and heart and perhaps in later life her kidneys may fail.
We have prayed so very, very much and we would be so grateful if your dear and good sisters could assist us with your powerful prayers. All to His Holy Will.
My daughter is called Robyn and son-in-law Wouter van der Vlugt.
Thank you so much. May Our Good Lord, His Blessed Mother and Good St. Joseph bless and keep you all in Their loving care.
Yours sincerely,
Renée Noldus (Netherlands)
A wee update on my husband/dad Robert.
Surgery went well. Remains in hospital, some usual post surgical complications.
Was scheduled to come home tomorrow, Thursday but he began having a lot of nausea and now will be having abdominal xrays to check all the areas in the abdomen.
Our son Ian is well. Missing his papa, and eager for his return. He is able to talk with him on Face Time......new to me. It is a new world.
Thanks for your prayerful attention to this request. Also I would ask, and of myself as well, prayers for someone.....only known to God who is in great need and has No One to pray for them, who will benefit bu your joyful thoughts and prayers.
Thank you most kindly
Gayle Aroian
I am so moved by the presentation Life in Hidden Light. It fills me with a joy and moves me to tears tears at times.
Peace to your hearts and gratitude for the joy and wisdom which you impart through In Hidden Light.
I am a Benedictine oblate of St Scholastica Priory on New England. I am also a nurse for the monks, Trappists, of St Joseph's Abbey.
I am blessed.
I shall like to request your prayers for my husband Robert. He had a simple gall bladder removal a couple months ago and since has had a bile leak from the liver. Thursday he will undergo major surgery in Boston to repair the liver.
We are the proud and happy adoptive parents of 4 adult children from around the world. Emily, Adam, Gabriel and Ian.
Ian lives at home with us. He has multiple special needs....among them, mental retardation and active seizures. He is most social and full of fun and a devotee of out Blessed Mother!
We need papa home with us and are asking for Jesus' healing touch, which I firmly believe in.
So I now place our concern at your feet and ask for your prayers. And please also do pray for one.....someone.....somewhere who has no one to pray for them, but who so needs prayers. God knows and listens!
Merci
Gayle Aroian

I do humbly request your prayers for my husband Bob. He had a simple gall bladder removal 4 weeks ago and has now been enduring a serious complication. He is a dear man. Always worked hard for his family and is very kind and gentle. Our children are adults....adopted from all around the world and our youngest Ian with very many special needs. His daddy loves him so and he loves him "over the moon."
Thank you for your prayers on our family's behalf.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Peace to your hearts

Please pray for female vocations all-over the world and for female influence on evangelization of the young especially asking for the intercession of Sister Clare Crockett.
Many thanks
Yolande
Please pray for my vocational discernment. I'm from the United States and have a newfound desire to become a Carmelite. I have different reservations, namely that of my family but am willing to follow Jesus if He truly is calling me out into the desert with Him. Thank you for your "yes" and may God continue to bless you in your faithfulness to Him.
In Christ,
Maria
May God bless you!
Please may I ask for your healing prayers for Jared Smith aged 6. He has been fighting Cancer for 2 years now & was in remission this time last year but sadly the Cancer has returned & the drugs are not working this time. So his parents have just been told that he is now under the Palliative Care team and to make memories quickly.
We know that if it is the Dear Lord’s wish Jared will be healed & the cancer will shrink so all we can do is pray but we need help, this is why I have come to your good selves.
Thank you for considering our wish.
Kindest regards
Angela Hamilton
Please pray for me to draw closer and closer to God. And that I become an anointed evangelist.
Thank you so much. I will be praying for you all and I will be back now that I know where you are.
From California, USA
I´ve seen In hidden light and It is a film that can caress the soul. Thank you so much for it! And thank you for all the prayers!
I am not a member of any religious order, but I love monasteries as places where I can find wonderful peace of mind and encounter God. I have made friends with the Poor Clare Sisters who have a convent not far from where I live, and I am glad that I have been able to get to know you remotely in this way.
Take care and I wish you God's blessings for whatever you embark on.
Have a nice day!
It is lovely.
As a nurse for the Trappist monks of St Joseph's Abbey I so appreciated the segment of the video with Sr. Jane and the very fervent and joyful Elder Sister.
Thank you, each and every one of you Sisters, for your prayerful presence/presents for us "out here in the world."
Peace to your hearts

I cannot thank you enough for your continuous prayers and support to South Sudanese Refugee Orphans in Northern Uganda Refugee Camps. Your prayers and continuous support has indeed manifested the presence of Jesus to the orphan children and refugees at large who benefited from your prayers and support as clearly illustrated in the verse below.
John 14:18-24 (ESV) reads:
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
In verse 21 Jesus says that he will manifest himself to those who love him, and in verse 23 he further explains that he and his Father will "make their home" with such people. How are we to understand and interpret these verses? How does Jesus manifest himself to those who love him?
You have shown your unwavering and unconditional love and affection to the orphans not only South Sudanese orphan children but any child or vulnerable person who is in dire need of support to be lifted out from poverty, and you have done that year after year
THE PAIN AND HEAVYNESS OF OUR HEARTS CRIES OUT TO GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND(REST)PEACE!!!
THANK YOU FOR PRAYING!
SPRING,SUMMER,FALL,CHRISTMAS,WINTER 2021,2020'S....ET. REST.

Please also pray for a miracle that someday Maria can attend Catholic school. So far we have been turned away constantly for being too poor. She is way behind, in Grade 3 at 10 due to our situation.
Thank you

My mother used to live in Penn. She was born in 1917 and passed away 2012. She would tell me of the times, if she was ever late for mass and The Blessed Sacrament passed by, going to the convent. She would drop to her knees on the gravel and get holes in her stockings then a telling off from her mother.
I never lived in Penn but I was taken to your convent for mass one Sunday when I was 9 years old. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I was totally fascinated.
My mother used to talk a great deal about your convent and of a school friend who entered, Cassie Bennett I believe she was called.
I miss my mother terribly and all her lovely stories.
Please pray for her, Maureen FAY, Nee PONDER. Pray for our family that is quite broken apart.
I will remember you in my prayers dear sisters. 🙏
I have had the pleasure of watching the documentary (Life In Hidden Light), made about all of you and your monastery several times. I am personally unsure about many aspects of God and religion. Even doubtful at times. However, I cannot help admiring your strong commitment to your beliefs, your lifestyle, your vocations and to each other. It is humbling that so many of you dedicate your lives to the service of others through prayer, something that I suspect many of us are doing incorrectly, if at all. I imagine (rightly or wrongly) that it would feel like a burden at times. However, I cannot claim to know the answer to that.
If you would be so kind, I would like to request prayers for everyone who is unlucky enough to be living in or with toxic, abusive, unhealthy, hurtful, harmful situations, and the damaged people who cause such things. I have unfortunately been forced to deal with several of these situations throughout my life. I recently had to permanently end a friendship of ten years due to the other person's consistently toxic and abusive behaviour towards me. As much as I tried to help this person, and love them into healthiness, hoping that my kindness would one day be enough, I simply could not.
It has become far too tiring and much too heavy a burden for me. It is no longer something I can tolerate in my life. It is unhealthy and unsustainable for me. This person is deeply damaged within themselves, and they haven't had so much as a shred of desire to change over the last ten years I have known them.
I cannot help this person but I would still like most people in the world to be helped, including them. I deeply empathize with the hurt and the cruelty that many of us experience at the hands of other people, both intentionally and unintentionally. I find it very sad and disappointing. I am hopeful that your prayers may bring some comfort and strength to those of us surviving abuse and cruelty of any kind. Love to you all.
I am a nurse for trappist monks in the U.s. in their infirmary. Also a blessing for God..
Peace to your hearts.
and
love,
of course,
Mrs. Gayle Aroian
Interestingly, I watched a video just yesterday on the Buddhist Yogis of Tibet. You have more in common with them than you may think.
Be well and please stay healthy during these uncertain times.
