This is kind of the highlight of my time together, right in the heart of what we do and what we talk about. And if you are just tuning in, love to have you pray with me. I stop every afternoon for about 20, 30 minutes, and we pray this beautiful prayer that was given by Jesus himself to a young nun named, same Faustina as her name. I'm gonna say Helen, Helen Kowalska was her Polish name before she entered religious life. But same Faustina, she wrote in her diary about the promises that the Lord gave her regarding the power of this prayer and how it delights him. And that's why I think as we gather together every day, we see so much fruit. And I say it every day, I'm grateful for everyone who's taken time. I wanna thank a few people. I was reading some emails earlier this morning, and thanks for taking the time just to, not just send intentions, I get a lot of intentions, of course, but also to send those answered prayers. Like when we pray together, maybe you don't get through on the phones, maybe you do, but you said, man, we prayed for that during the chaplet, and this is how God worked it out. I love hearing those. You can email me, drew at relevantradio.com, okay? Just mark it answered prayer or praise report. That's how some people do it. And I'll see that, and I like to share those. And you can send me your intentions as well. But let's pray for one another right now if you're going through a difficult time, if you really need an answer to prayer. Let's pray for you, okay? You can get in at 888-914-9149.
That's 888-914-9149.
I'm in studio today with Maribeth, one of my great colleagues here. And Maribeth, it's good to have you back. Great to be able to pray with you once again.

**Maribeth Rose** (2:07)
Yes, I'll be here a few times this week, I think.

**Maribeth Rose** (2:09)
You're here tomorrow too, right? Yeah, yeah.

**Drew Mariani** (2:10)
I'm loving it, yeah. Well, anything you want to start us off with? Pray for, share?

**Maribeth Rose** (2:14)
I do. I want to pray for anyone who is battling an addiction and is actively working to overcome it, that Jesus would help them to keep going, give them his grace, and if they fall, to pick themselves up and just to keep going.

**Drew Mariani** (2:29)
It's a heavy cross, right?

**Maribeth Rose** (2:30)
It is a heavy cross, but I think it's one prayer that Jesus really wants to answer. He really wants to free us from those addictions and the enslavement, right?

**Drew Mariani** (2:38)
It's exactly what he says in the diary. He tells her, anything you ask of me, in virtue of my passion, through this prayer, I'll grant, if it's according to my will. And I'm like, well, what's God's will? God's will does not want you chained in addiction. It doesn't want you in love one. Correct, yeah. And when somebody's addicted, and I've had addiction in my own family, and my father struggled, and I've had other loved ones and friends who battled addiction, it looks like they'll never get freedom. They'll never ever be released from it, that the addiction is too powerful.
It seems demonic, but with God, all things are possible. I've seen heroin addictions broken, I've seen alcohol addictions broken. There are people who've conquered porn and sexual addictions. I mean, there's no addiction too great for God, so we'll pray for that today as well. Nick, anything you want to join us with or share?

**Nick** (3:26)
Yeah, I was just talking with Dr. John Lattell as we transitioned to The Chaplet, and he reiterated prayers for his health. He had a recent medical episode that scared him a little bit, and so he just wants us to pray for him and for his continued health.

**Drew Mariani** (3:40)
All right, doctor, we are praying for you. We'll continue to do that. I was going through some email, like I said a little bit earlier today. I just grabbed a couple quick emails here. This person says I have a couple requests, Drew. One is for my mother, who's now in hospice care.
She's at peace and she's comfortable. We were able to take her to church one last time, which was her wish.
I'd like to pray for her and also for a friend who committed suicide by jumping in front of a train this past Monday. Her name is Carrie and she has two daughters, and they were young. A 10-year-old named Help. So would you please pray for her?
