  • Hello everyone,

    I was just wondering if anybody here knows of any special prayers or devotions specifically for drug-addiction. Greatly appreciate it.

  • Addiction touches every family. One person's addiction severely impacted the lives of 2 people I love dearly.  Even though the choice to abuse drugs/alcohol is the responsibility of the person, once it it's satanic grip, it becomes more like possession.  Thus, I implored St. Michael for intercession, with great success.
    I'm not familiar with a specific traditional prayer related to drug addiction.  Others here much smarter than me may have that information, but I did look up traditional non controversial patron saints associated with addiction:
    St. John of God
    St. Martin of Tours
    St. Matthias the Apostle
    St. Monica
    St. Urban of Langres

    Combined with St. Michael, that's a mighty force.
    Your charity to pray on behalf of your loved one is a beautiful act of mercy.

  • The rosary is always good advice.  
    Stir up within Thy Church, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the Spirit with which blessed Josaphat, Thy Martyr and Bishop, was filled, when he laid down his life for his sheep: so that, through his intercession, we too may be moved and strengthen by the same Spir
