During my absence I have remembered you in prayer and Mass.
I will be back home next Monday, and will have more computer access again.

I would like, though, to ask prayer for my Dad, who is beginning a series of 30 radium treatments in the hope of destroying the bone cancer that is causing him extreme pain. Chemo won’t follow for his main cancer, as at age 89 that is considered inadvisable by his doctor. In any case, Dad accepts that death is inevitable to us all. We, his loving children, do hope this wonderful man whom we all love dearly will not linger too long but will be as comfortable as possible. He is at present overwhelmed by all the love surrounding him, and that in his words,“I am surrounded by so many good people”. He is gracious, loving, and humble, and never realizes what an amazing person he is himself.

We know that God is putting the last touches on an extraordinary life, so please pray that God can do that without too much delay. He is thin, exhausted and has a lot to face, so please God we can be with Dad in every way that is encouraging, loving, and thoughtful, with the sensitivity and wisdom that he needs. Will you pray for that for my lovely Dad. And that he will find God’s loving support in every moment. I ask God’s Holy Spirit to be present and active, blessing every moment of the last weeks and months of his life with grace and peace. Dad’s name is Bernard.

Thank you very much
 
Dad’s brother Joe has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and is on oxygen 24/7. He hasn’t accepted that he will die in the next few months, and talks of many plans for the future, so please pray he can cope with all that he faces. May God bless and comfort him and his family.

Thank you very much for your prayers
 
I didn’t see the thread that tbcrawford had so kindly posted until after I posted this thread and replied in prayer to some other threads,
but I want to very much thank each person who has already prayed for my Dad and my Uncle
 
Wow, you and your family have a lot on your plate. My dad was 89 when he died. He was
a wonderful man and loved his family and God to the end. I’m glad your dad is surrounded
by those he loves and will pray for him and you and your familyl
 
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.

Glorious wonder-worker, St. Peregrine,
You answered the divine call
With a ready spirit,
And forsook all the comforts of the world
To dedicate yourself to God
In the Order of His Most Holy Mother.

You labored manfully
For the salvation of souls;
And in union with Jesus Crucified
You endured the most painful sufferings
With such patience
As to deserve to be
Healed miraculously
Of an incurable cancer
In your leg by a touch
Of his divine hand.

Obtain for me
The grace to answer
Every call of God
And to fulfill His Will
In all the events of life.

Enkindle in my heart
A consuming zeal
For the salvation of souls;
Deliver me from the infirmities
that afflict my body

[State your intention(s) here…]

Obtain for me
Perfect resignation to the sufferings
It may please God to send me,
So that, imitating our Crucified Savior
And His Sorrowful Mother,
I may merit eternal glory in heaven.

Amen.

St. Peregrine, pray for me
And for all who invoke your aid.
