St. Rose of Viterbo

Jesus said to his disciples, “Again, (amen,) I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew 18: 19-20).

Our Lord assures us here that He always hears and answers our prayers but not exactly in the way or time we may ask. He knows all things and He knows what is best for us. This takes a lot of faith sometimes.

Blessed Mother, strengthen my faith so that I may always believe that God hears my prayers.
