If you have the inclination, please pray for the repose of the soul of CHP Nathan Taylor, who died March 13, 2016 as the result of an accident the day before; and for his wife and three boys, and for his older brother (my son-in-law) and the rest of his family. Praying for the repose of his soul & for his family.

oralabora, I would call you a "Quiet Pray Warrior" which is a good thing. Sort of like a Carthusian praying for the world.

I think we should have bumper stickers made that say ROPA!
I pray for everyone on the site and all their needs as well...sometimes don't post about it. IT's all good.

One of my daily intentions is, "For all who have asked for my prayers, for all those to whom I have promised my prayers, for all those in need of my prayers". Otherwise, I'd never remember all those specific intentions. The hard drive of my brain is just too cluttered with other stuff to retrieve all those individual intentions! (Time for a defragmentation of my brain, but I'm worried that might cause a total crash....) : )

That's why I have a prayer intentions journal. Some days, my appeals to God boil down to "if it be Your will, Lord, please grant everything asked for in this red notebook."

Upup, I have a similar system, a sheet of paper I keep in my breviary. Once in a while I update it (not as often as I should). After my usual intentions for my family and monastic community, I add an "and everyone on this list and those I may have forgotten".
A journal is probably better, just write in names as you need, until the book is full then start another.

A journal is probably better, just write in names as you need, until the book is full then start another. I do something similar - I have a document on my computer that is 6" wide and 4" tall (small enough to fit in my wallet when it's folded); it's my ongoing list of daily prayer intentions. I update it and print a new copy on the first of each month. I've been doing this since the mid-1980s. My "for all those who have asked for my prayers, for all those to whom I have promised my prayers, for all those who are in need of my prayers" is one of the intentions on my card. No way I could keep things straight without it.
