Your my confirmation saint.
St. Albertus Magnus, Your humility and saintliness, reminds me of the proverb," The greater you are, the less you must become." It is a great virtue, but very difficult to emulate for a sinner like myself. Please do pray for us.

That says it all. Please pray for my son and the financial stability to keep him in Catholic Schools. Thank you.
helpful article...great information.
Dear St Albert,
Please if you may, help me in the next two big things, and even three, but the two which are connected and need to be resolved within a specific time period. Since they are scholarly in nature and have to do with the union of faith and reason which has dogged our universities for centuries, (and the lack of which has had such a destructive effect on our minds and hearts) please if it is God's will intercede for this intention. If indeed I receive the temporal graces I request, I will honor you by expressing my gratitude to you in a specific and public way. This I do promise you. And thank you for listening to me.
This is a good article I learned alot that I never knew. Thanks for Puting this on your site:):):):):);)!!!!!

St Albert the Great, please pray that my daughter will realize her great potential in school and learning. She has a difficult time staying focused due to her amazing creative mind. She is a great artist at only 14 yrs old. I want her to know that she can be both, a great artist and a great student. St Albert the Great, please pray for her.
Saint Albert please pray for our adoptive son that he will keep an open mind when learning and grasp the knowledge that is needed for him to understand that his NEW Mommy and Daddy loves him dearly. Also pray for my wife that she will learn that being self employed is an exciting journey and that she will reap great rewards if she puts out a great effort. And lastly, please pray for myself that I may gain knowledge daily in my career so I can help as many people as I possibly can. Amen.
