I’ve greeted you privately. I suppose it won’t hurt if I greet you publicly here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Bro. JR!

May the Blessed Virgin Mary take his sufferings before the Lord and may Jesus grant him a full recovery so he may still be our wise adviser.

For the intentions for Brother JR:
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, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Thank you for the birthday greetings. We’re having a get together this evening to celebrate my birthday. I’ll see if I can get some pictures and post them. We always have a lot of fun when we get together. Franciscans love any excuse for a party. 
I have to share this story. It’s awesome.
Awoke with blood pressure through the roof, glucose right behind it, which then sends my mood to the basement. I fell asleep. Suddenly, my dog is barking, practically in my face. I try to open my eyes and the room is spinning.
“This is not good,” I said to myself. My glucose must be high. Tested it, it was hovering beyond the roof. I guess the dog must have sensed that I was sinking deeper and deeper and she decided to awaken me. I took my insulin and everything is OK now. I love my little nurse.
I will never understand how anyone cannot believe in God. Just look at the wonders of the world. Stop and think about it. How do dogs and cats know or understand when a family member is in trouble, if there is no visible struggle? I can understand if you’re fighting off a villain and the dog comes to your defense; but a dog coming to your rescue when you appear to be at rest, but are really about to go into a crisis . . . ?
I understand the whole concept of pheromones. I went to med school. But it still does not explain how a dog or a cat connects the dots that such a scent means that it’s family member may be in trouble. The only explanation that I can offer is that God built something into them that is a mystery to us After all, we’re not talking about trained service dogs here. Tasha took a year to learn to go outside. I can’t imagine her learning medical science on her own.

Hello everyone. Just passing through to let all of you know that I’m thinking of you, especially during these special days when we celebrate the Stigmata of Our Holy Father Francis, the end of the third lent of the year, and the upcoming solemnity of St. Francis of Assisi.
It’s been a rough week, but I’m very happy. I must admit that I can’t be happier. Please read my blog entry below for more information on why I’m so happy.
Pray for me, a sinner.

Dear Brother, It is with a glad heart that I hear you have seen another Birthday!! Let there be cake!! Your dog’s master is the Lord. I am so glad you are still with us to provide wisdom and knowledge, straight from the Ho;y Spirit in my belief.
Look after yourself and may any discomfort here resolve any defects on you soul (I would expect a slight headache might be enough) and you, at His good time, rush into His arms as is your rightful place. My poor sad prayers are with you to my Mother, Our Lady so she can lay your sufferings before her Son and Lord, sweetened by her sanctity and so loyal love.

Hello brother,
It was so good to hear from you. I appreciated the blog post and, especially, the image of Christ assisting the doctor as he performed surgery. We are all in His hands.
You had me running to the nearest search engine with your mention of the third lent of the year, to no avail.
If you get an extra minute and have the energy, could you expand on this please?
May God bless and keep you and may children all over His earth be drawn ever closer to Him and, through this, become witnesses to His love to us and to each other.
Amen.
