How this prayer ministry began…
10/10/24
The prayers for this ministry began in May 2006, praying for an unborn baby, Lily Grace. There were medical problems with the baby and we began praying the Novena to Saint Anne that "Lily Grace would have abundant life." Through the intercession of Saint Anne, mother of our Blessed Mother Mary and grandmother of Jesus, Lily Grace was born with Down syndrome in November 2006. She needed open heart surgery when she was three months old. She was born with only two chambers in her heart. Four chambers are needed. Doctors placed a tiny plastic wall between each chamber, making two chambers into four. They literally created a new heart in her. She is a little miracle and she radiates love to all who meet her. We give thanks for all the prayers for this precious little baby.
As we have prayed each day, we have received other names to include in our prayers to Saint Anne and Our Blessed Mother Mary. We have thousands upon thousands of names to pray for now. We pray the Memorare for families, for priests, seminarians, deacons and vocations to the religious life which are born and nurtured in families. We pray for the sanctity of life and marriage, for the unborn, babies and children who are healthy, sick or disabled, pregnant women, couples who are trying to conceive a baby or adopt a baby, mothers who have had miscarriages, parents who have suffered the death of a baby or a child, parents who have had an abortion, parents who have considered having one and for all souls wounded by abortion, parents who are struggling to accept their disabled child, as well as parents who embrace their disabled child and see in that child, the beauty that was created by God.
The John 10:10 Prayer Ministry began on May 1, 2010 in honor of our Blessed Mother Mary.
