Please pray for “Father G” who underwent a very difficult eye operation. The operation was not successful and had to be repeated, which has increased the chance of blindness and complications.

“Father G” has other medical needs but they cannot be addressed until the long healing process of the eye takes place.

Please pray for his eye to be healed, his vision fully restored, and his other ailments addressed properly by the doctors. FOR HIS HEALTH TO IMPROVE, basically!

Thank you and God bless everyone joining in this prayer.
 
Praying for Father G and his health / medical needs. May Our Lady protect him and keep him close to Our Lord, especially during this time of trial.

Jesus, we trust in You!

We take refuge under thy protection, holy Mother of God; do not despise our prayers for Father G in time of his necessity, but free him from all dangers, o blessed and glorious Virgin. Amen.
 
Praying for Father G. I am sad to read about the surgery.

Peace be with you
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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.
 
Loird, please heal Fr. G in accordance with your holy and perfect will. May your will be done in his life with no obstacles to your will. Grant him the strength and peace he needs to carry his cross patiently and lovingly. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
(so few prayers for an elderly devout priest, and
this intention buried on page 3 already?)

Praying again today for Father G.

:gopray:
 
Keeping Fr. G in my daily prayers and continuing to entrust him to Our Lady’s special care.

Mary, our Mother and Queen of Priests, intercede for Fr. G. Amen.
 
Thank you for the prayers for Fr. G. Some more info on this unusual priest: he just retired from full-time parish work at age 83! Before that he was a college professor for many years. He has converted HUNDREDS of people to the faith! Many of them are now famous and you would recognize on EWTN or in Catholic circles.

And yet with this stellar history of devotion to the Church, he is now in a Retirement Home for priests which I’m sad to say leaves much to be desired. Medical mistakes, misdiagnoses and wrong medicines have all happened. There is no social program, exercise program, or activities planned by the director.

Fr. G is so humble, he does not ask for what he needs. About his eye, the doctors now say maybe it will take a YEAR to heal?!? And this is a man who reads constantly and needs his eyesight. In addition, due to probably isolation and boredom he is falling into depression. He has never experienced depression in his life and therefore is reluctant to ask for help. It shows you the deficiency of the staff that they have not noticed the symptoms themselves and got him to a professional.

So here we have a great priest, the kind we all love to say Mass, very holy, worked every day of his life and now should be able to have some comfort and care. Instead the medical care is substandard, the atmosphere is gloomy, and the staff is not top-notch. He deserves so much better! God bless you for your prayers.
 
Praying for healing for Father G. from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Psalm 30 (31)
Lord, let your face shine on your servant.

Take pity on me, Lord, for I am troubled:
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,
the very centre of my being is disturbed.
For my life is worn out with distress,
my years with groaning;
my strength becomes weakness,
my bones melt away.

I am a scandal and a disgrace,
so many are my enemies;
to my friends and neighbours,
I am a thing to fear.
When they see me in the street,
they run from me.
I have vanished from their minds as though I were dead,
or like a pot that is broken.
I know this – for I have heard the scolding of the crowd.
There is terror all around,
for when they come together against me
it is my life they are resolved to take.

But I put my trust in you, Lord;
I say: “You are my God,
my fate is in your hands.”
Tear me from the grip of my enemies,
from those who hound me;
let your face shine upon your servant,
in your kindness, save me.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Lord, let your face shine on your servant.
 
Lord Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer, through the Immaculate Heart Of Mary, we implore Your merciful healing for Father G’s eye. We ask that his second surgery be successful.

May Your healing hand, Lord Jesus, rest upon him. May Your life giving powers flow into every cell of Father G’s body, cleansing, purifying, and restoring Father G to wholeness and strength

Hail Mary

Oh Lord, in Your Infinite Mercy, please pour out your healing and your blessings on Father G.
This kind and saintly priest who has given his whole life to serve your people. I pray Lord, if it be your will, that you would make his surroundings better for him. I pray healing upon his eye, and relief from pain. In Jesus Name…Amen
