our daughter Regina is missing. she is 25 years old, so there does not seem much that we can do. she was going through some rough times,and depression. She was supposed to come to our house around 9 AM today. This is not like her, she has not called, we cannot reach her on her phone, and our grandson(her son) is with us- she would not just leave him and take off! please pray for her safety, and whatever is troubling her, that she knows she can come home to us.

Prayers are offered for the return of your precious daughter Regina. We pray that the Mother of God will protect her from all harm and bring her home to you and her son quickly.
May God grant you strength and calm.
Might I suggest that you pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for her?
On ordinary rosary beads:
Begin with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Apostle's Creed:
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Then, on the large bead before each decade:
Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity,
of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.

On the ten small beads of each decade, say:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Conclude with (Say 3 Times):
Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.

Optional Closing Prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

To All:
thank you for all of your prayers. we did get some news from a friend of Regina's late last night -that still makes no sense. She is safe- but "is not ready to speak to anyone", and wants us to pick up all of our grandsons things from her apartment! PLEASE continue to keep us in your prayers(.Regina is at least seeking God's help because her friend also told us that Gina spent part of the day praying at Church.)

Prayers that this trauma/turmoil , whatever it is , will heal swiftly , and that she soon returns to care for her son.

At least you have the comfort of knowing that she is thinking of her son and wants you to care for him.

Dear Cindy and Ken,

I prayed on my knees last night for your daughter, and I thank God and give glory to His name that all of our prayers were answered, and that she is safe. Thank you Lord, thank you dear Archangel Michael, thank you blessed Theotokos, thank you St. Anthony for finding her!!!

My continued prayers to our blessed Mother of God for this veil of depression and oppresion which Regina is battling will be lifted through her spiritual healing...and that she will be victorious the 'spiritual warfare' that is being waged for her soul and her well being.

Amen.

In Christ,
Alice
