Saints' Discussion Forums

This forum is for requesting prayers for various intentions and for posting and praying together beautiful prayers from devout religious texts and the writings of the saints.

Feel free to pray for old intentions and new, and make your requests.

I am going to share my prayer and praying for others..

Great are you, O Lord,
and exceedingly worthy of praise;
your power is immense, and your wisdom beyond reckoning.
And so we men, who are a due part of your creation, long to praise you,
we also carry our mortality about with us,
 carry the evidence of our sin and with it the proof that you thwart the proud.
 You arouse us so that praising you may bring us joy,
because you have made us and drawn us to yourself,
and our heart is unquiet until it rests in you.

From the Confessions
Saint Augustine of Hippo

“Watch, O Lord,
with those who wake,
or watch or weep tonight,
and give your angels charge
over those who sleep.
Tend your sick ones,
O Lord Jesus Christ;
rest your weary ones;
bless your dying ones;
soothe your suffering ones;
pity your afflicted ones;
shield your joyous ones;
and all for your love's sake.
Amen.”
St. Augustine of Hippo

I am going to add if you find holy poetry, this forum is a good place to post it too.
