XIX Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'm sure that most of us here at Phatmass have promised people our prayers. A lot of people. If you're anything like me, you probably don't even recall the majority of the people you are supposed to pray for. How do you all deal with this? Do you ever get worried that people kind of drop off of your prayer list and you forget to pray for them? Just some thoughts. I'll post my opinion on this a bit later, but I want to hear what you all have to say first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the request and the time I have. Other times I add "for all those for whom I've promised to pray for on Phatmass". Christ knows the intentions of my heart.

homeschoolmom Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 When I say that I'll pray for someone, I do it write then (otherwise I don't say so). When I'm in prayer at other times, I usually just pray for the phatmassers' intentions and if anyone in particular comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel's angel Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sometimes I pray at the time. Other times I'll do it with the rest of my prayers, and if there are a lot then I prayer for all the intentions of Phatmassers. I try not to say things if I don't plan to do them.

C Frances Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Usually I pray for the person as I'm posting or immediately afterwards. Also, at the end of the day, I pray for all the people that have asked me to pray for them, and any that I may have forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatcatholic Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 since "i'll pray for you" has become almost a cliched response whenever you tell someone about your troubles, i always wonder if the person is actually going to pray for me as promised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 There is so many people asking for prayers on Phatmass so I just pray for all of the their intentions without necessarily saying their names. Sometimes I do pray specificaly for someone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary_clare Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 when I pray, I always add in a kinda generalized intention for everyone. those discerning,those currently religious, all clergy,every member of the church,those in pain,suffering,poverty,hungry, and so fourth. the list can keep going and going sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I pray for the intentions of Phatmassers in general and some in particular and the all of the discerners when I say the litany for vocations. For others I ask my guardian angel to pray for those I promised and forgot. Peace, Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
