Thank you again for your prayers.
Clarification: Fr. B’s hospital visit next week is to meet the surgeon and schedule his operation. We don’t actually know yet when he will be operated on, only that the situation is fairly urgent so it’ll be sooner rather than later. We’ll find out more on Wednesday.
Father has never had a major illness, nor has he ever had surgery of any kind. Needless to say, he is more than just a little apprehensive. Please pray he may find peace of mind in taking things one step at a time and trusting the medical professionals in whose care he has been placed.
O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, take to your heart your son, Fr. B, who is close to you because of his priestly ordination, and because of the power which he has received to carry on the work of Christ in a world which needs him so much.
Be his comfort, be his joy, be his strength in his time of particular need. Amen.
