As some of you know, from having read other threads about my family, my BIL’s wife passed away nine years ago this past August of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH), a disease which is always fatal and for which there is no cure. She left behind three small children. Well, those small children are now teenagers… my niece, her oldest, will be 17 in a few short weeks. On the advice of their pediatrician, they went to have tests run to determine if they carry this gene which either will develop into the disease or at least make them a carrier. My youngest nephew will not take the more invasive test till he is older. My 14-year-old nephew got a clean bill of health (Thank You, Lord!)… but my niece does have the gene, with a 20% chance of it developing into the disease itself.

Naturally, we are doing our best to focus on the 80% chance that the disease will NOT develop, but we are devastated nonetheless. This disease is cruel and painful… one literally suffocates to death if the heart does not fail first from lack of oxygen. My niece, like her mother, is a strong young woman… she told me that she prayed that if any of them were to have the gene, that she’d rather she had it than her brothers.

So now I am asking my CAF family to pray that this disease end here…that she remains strong and healthy, that she never lets that 20% chance stand in her way of fully living the life God wants for her. Her name is Lillian. Thank you all.
 
Lord we thank you that you rule over probability.

We pray that this young lady not develop the disease. Have mercy on her and bless her brave soul.

Amen.
 
Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
One 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
In the name of The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit AMEN

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. 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.

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 death.

Amen.

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, may your holy and perfect will be done in Lillian’s life with no obstacles to your will. Help her to keep faithful and strong in faith, hope and love. May she be abandoned to your merciful love full of confidence in your merciful love. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
