My elderly father is causing me worry again because he was painting the roof and then complained about dizziness.
When my sister and I tell him to be careful because people can get a stroke if they reach their head back too far when painting roof (it can compress the artery at back of your head and cut off the blood supply) he brushes it off and seems more interested to show us proudly the job he has done.
My sister and I don’t want to come off as nagging adult daughters or telling older/wiser parents some knowledge,but I wish he would understand the realities of health issue more.

My dad is one of the only males of their longtime friends still alive.
The others have died from things like falling of a ladder and heart attack from over exertion from doing house renovations,
We are Croatian and older Croatian men don’t really take these things into consideration-they just do things until something happens to them.
I wish he would realise more these things can happen and once they do and you have something serious like a stroke does it even matter less what your roof looks like?

In addition my parents like to drink a bit too much and also have high blood pressure and this concerns me as these are also stroke risk factors.
I prefer they would just drink with us on weekend when we come over and not everyday at lunchtime etc.

Could anyone please pray with me for my intention?
Thankyou

Praying that your father does what is necessary to care for himself. Praying also for your mother and that God will give you and your sister the grace you need to deal with this situation. Amen
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

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.
