Posted April 22 on Catholic Exchange:

Johnnette Benkovic, popular Catholic commentator and talk show host, learned yesterday that her husband Tony has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. For those of you who know Johnnette, she recently suffered a devastating loss in the death of her son Simon last year.

Johnnette was to be leading a “Woman of Grace” conference this coming
weekend in Chicago, which she now will not be able to attend. Please pray
for her, and for Tony, that they will find the strength they need to cope
with this unexpected and most distressing diagnosis.

Johnnette has asked that we ask Pope John Paul II to intercede for her
family, that Tony’s might be the miracle the Lord provides to bring about a condition of his beatification.

Please also pray specifically for Johnnette, who desperately needs prayers for strength and comfort. May the Lord be merciful to her, and make her burden as light as possible.

If you would like to send her a note, letting her know of your prayers on her behalf, please write:

Johnnette Benkovic

One of the priests at St. Mary’s, and a friend of mine, Fr. Beau Davis, is in ICU with Pneumonia and has been since Wednesday. He’s quite heavily sedated and the only people they’re letting him see are his immediate family and Fr. Wilcox, who comes twice/day.

If you could keep in your thoughts and prayers, I’d be grateful.

Thanks.

Blessings and Peace, Michael

Brothers and Sisters:

Fr. Beau Davis was released from the Hospital Thursday night. i saw him Friday afternoon, We spoke for about 30 minutes before Fr. Wilcoz decided we were driving him nuts!

He is much better - His color is better than the last two times I saw him before he went into the hospital (so he was REALLY SICK), and he is elated that Cardinal Ratzinger elected pope and is now Pope Benedict XVI. He still had some weakness and is on antibiotics, but he is MUCH better!

Thank you for ALL of your prayers.

Thanks be to Jesus Christ!

Blessings and Peace, Michael

I just received an email from my aunt regarding her mother. Her mother (my mother’s stepmother) is battling bone cancer again. I don’t know how to pray for her right now because of the horrible things that she did to my mother as a child (she literally almost killed her). I have prayed that God give me the compassion to figure out a way to pray for her, but in the meantime, I know she could use the prayers of people who can do so without anger breaking in.
Please pray for me, too.

Thanks.

My father has always been a true catholic, now he’s over ninety, he has cancer of the bladder, i would ask you to pray for him, he understands what it means to live through hard times, and see how his friends die around him, the last time i saw him he said it was normal that he survived as he has, i think God wanted it so, after being a prisoner of war, the entire war, he saw many things and survived many things, now it is coming to the end of his life, a long one.
He deserved to live a long life, i’m happy to say not all good people die young!
I thank you for your prayers, and God bless all of you.

For my husband. The cancer surgery went well, but the tumor was invasive. He also is now suffering from renal failure.

There is a lot of evil in this world. A friend at work told me today about her 3-year-old niece, who is in an abusive situation. I’m not at liberty to disclose any details, but they are very bad. What she told me had me on the verge of tears. Legal attempts to help her have not met with success. This little girl is in serious need of our prayers. Her name is Autumn. Please, please, please each of you say a Hail Mary today, and if you feel you could, please add her to your daily prayers.

I have been suffering from something the past 3 months. They don’t know quite what it is.

In February I came down with a high fever, and my right tonsil got really swollen. 3 months later it remains swollen, and I have swollen lymph nodes all over my neck. I also have pain under my ribs. I had a ct-scan done the other day and I am waiting for the results. Today I go into an ENT for a checkup to try to find out what is going on.

I am in a lot of pain, and I am worrying about what the problem may be. Please pray for me

 

[compactdiss]

Please pray for my boss and I, we are under suspension due to some issues in work. Please also pray for the people who will make the decision what to do about the both of us.

Thank You

I will read this thread and keep all your intentions in my thoughts and prayers today.

 

[compactdiss]

I am praying for the requests above. So many heart tearing things to pray for. I will keep your requests in my thoughts and prayers.

Please pray that the blood tests confirm the pregnancy of my sister in law, making Child #2 for her and my brother.

Please pray success a a job interview I will be having this coming Wednesday at 2PM. I have been searching for a permanent job for over two years now, and am having great trouble making ends meet working from contract to contract. Please joining me in thanking God too for granitng me this opportunity, which is the best one I have had in over a year. Thank you for all of your help.

 

[betra2000]

Please pray for my family. Let the healing begin so that we may all forgive eachother. I ask that you pray to open the hearts of the people that are not willing to forgive.

Please pray for strenghth for my family in this their time of need.

Blessed Virgin Mary, watch over my family and help me to find the words to help my family to come back together. Please intercede and ask you Son, Jesus Christ to help us in this our time of need.

Betra, Mylo and Serendipity you are all in my prayers. I know how tough family probelms can be. My family is all actually getting together fine right now but it always seems that troubles arise again.

I know about the job problem also, I’m in a situation right now. I have been sending out resumes for weeks and no response…I wish you the best of luck! Turn it over to God and it will be all right. I just interviewed for a part time postion on Friday and walked out with no good or bad feelings-the guy gave me no indication either way. I just wait and look for God’s will to be done.

Mylo let us know how the test results come out.

Thank you compactdiss. I will be praying for you as well. I try to offer a chaplet to the Infant of Prague each night for the intentions on this list. The job search is a night mare. I have literally sent out hundreds of applications over the last two years. This is my first interview in over a year. Like you said, most of the time it is as if you send them to a vacuum…no comment from any one. I’m unfortunate in that I’m technically “mid-level,” so the people hiring for entry level positions tell me I’m too qualified (I can’t assure them that I am more than willing to start all over) and of course I lack the management experience required for executive spots. Most of the positions I am eligible for are jobs that companies tend to hire from within.

I can’t seem to find a permanent job. Everything seems to be from contract to contact, and then the funding is terminated or they move their operations overseas and take people form there. I’m not hoping for a lot of money, or even a salary commiserate with my education and skills. Just please God send me something that will allow me to meet all my financial obligations (student loans), allow me not to be a burden on any one, and ideally have a little to help out my father who has also been unemployed and looking since July.

I have been discerning a vocation for a while (since before the employment problems. But I need to find a way to whittle down the loans before I can pursue that further. I meditate on the stations of the cross daily, and when it comes to the tomb, I think that’s me - trapped - and I beg the Holy Spirit to open my eyes and see what must be a way out.

I know the feeling… 2 interviews since last August.

I’ve been contemplating Luke 12:22-31, and I think that if you have been discerning a vocation, then God will find a way to take care of the loans.

I’m praying for all of us.

It’s funny but Luke 12:22-31 has been coming up for me constantly for the past three weeks. It’s the matter of constant vigilance on it. The faith in believing the words are true and letting go. We like to take our own will back.
Once again I will have to sit back and think about the words. Obviously there is a message in them meant for me at this time.

I do have to agree with jimmy, I would think the loans would be taken care of somehow in some way if you were to turn your life and service over.

I have prayed on this thread tonight and I wish you all the best.

Go in prayer my friends…

Mylo let us know how the test results come out.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the bloodwork came back negative. The upside is that the doctor said that there wasn’t anything internally that would keep the kiddies away, so I’m assuming my brother and his wife will try again.

for this entire thread!
