I’m back to ask for your prayers, my friends. Over the last two months, you prayed for me when I cracked a tooth and had damaged a nerve; when I severely scratched my corneas; and you prayed for me when I had to have emergency wisdom teeth surgery. Now I ask you to please pray for me because I was hit by a hit-and-run driver a week ago walking on my way to work. I was crossing in the pedestrian crosswalk and had the right of way, and the driver was turning left and either didn’t see me or couldn’t stop in time.

I went to the ER and fortunately the doctor says I did not break anything, just have whiplash and bruised ribs. I am very lucky I was not killed. I’ve already forgiven the person who hit me, and said a rosary for them.

Recovery over all has been okay so far. BUT. The whiplash is hard, I am doing my best but of course there’s not a lot you can do, just take ibuprofen, use ice, do range of motion exercises, and try to go about your daily activities. I am finding it hard to get through the day, sitting in front of the computer screen, particularly by late in the day.

If you can please pray for my patience, perseverance, and healing, I would be very grateful. Please know that I will be remembering you in my prayers as well. Thanks so much!
 
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I come to ask of your infinite mercy the gift of health and strength that I may serve you more faithfully and love you more sincerely than in the past. I wish to be well and strong if this be your good pleasure and for your greater glory. Filled with high resolves and determined to perform my tasks most perfectly for love of you, I wish to be enabled to go back to my duties. Hoping your well soon. I appreciate your prayers also.
 
:gopray: Hail Mary, full of grace, 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 hour death. St. Bernadette, patron of the sick, please pray for dret’s health. :o
 
“Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls”
“My Jesus, pardon and mercy, by the merits of Thy Holy Wounds”
 
You are in my daily prayers and rosaries. God has blessed you with a kind heart.
 
Thank you all so much for your prayers, they do mean a lot to me.

I opened “Introduction to the Devout Life” this morning for a reflection, at random, and came across the following:

“If one has a fall in the street, there is the ridiculous part of it to be borne, as well as the possible pain, and this is an abjection we must accept.”

However he goes on to remind us that while we must rejoice in our abjection, we must also seek medical treatment for our illnesses. In other words, take your pain pills, silly man.

Thank you again and God bless you!
 
Merciful Father, look with Your immense compassion upon dret, strengthening him during this time of physical and mental testing. Lord, each cell of our bodies instantly obeys Your command. Grant that healing occur within dret’s body, in accord with Your Divine Will. Send him and his family the strength that he will need to bear his cross, and the disposition to embrace it, as did our Savior, Christ Jesus. In Your mercy, send him physicians, nurses and technicians who reflect Your love to the world around them. Out of Your infinite love of us, may our prayers, rising to Heaven from around this earth, be joined with those of the Angels and Saints to form an unending petition for mercy, strength, and healing. Appeal to his heart, Father, revealing to him that each day You grant us is a true gift. In service to Your Kingdom, may dret come to view his affliction as a blessing, since it is leading many to prayer and deeper faith. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
 
Thank you all so much for the prayers. Continuing to mend - it’s not easy, the afternoons and evenings tend to get me really down and hurting, but thank goodness I will be okay eventually. God bless you all, I am remembering you in my prayers!
 
Thank you so much. This is a trial for me, I am not a good patient, but the prayers mean a lot. I find it difficult sometimes to pray for myself and my needs. So thank you!!!

You will be in my prayers.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen

God bless 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
 
Dear All -

Thank you all for your prayers for me. Just to update you, I am better than I was, but still having problems. I went to the orthopaedist two weeks after I got hit, and he told me there wasn’t a huge amount we can do, that it will probably take at least 2 months until I feel better. If I don’t he can prescribe me some physical therapy but that’s about all you can do for a cervical strain. I had been doing slowly but surely better, but Saturday and today have been a bit difficult. Fortunately today was a little better than yesterday.

Anyway I am headed home tomorrow afternoon for Thanksgiving and will have about six days of rest and doing nothing and hopefully this will help me. So if you don’t mind, please continue to keep me in your prayers, and know that I am remembering you and your intentions each evening in my own prayers.

God bless you all!
 
Dear All -

Just a further update, am now home and resting at my parents. I’ve made an appointment to follow up with my orthopaedic doctor first thing in the morning on Tuesday the 2nd when I get back from Thanksgiving break. I just need to rest and try to get through the next several days as best I can. Hopefully I will improve or at least stay the same and manage my pain. I am doing my best to offer it up.

I’ve also asked St. Rita for her intercession on my behalf, and promised I would go on pilgrimage visit her shrine in Philadelphia if I am healed and back to normal. I’ve never been and I understand it’s a beatuiful church. God willing I can make that pilgrimage soon.

Thank you again for your prayers and support and please know I am rememerin you as well!
