CradleCath thankyou so much for the update.Frank is in my daily prayers as are you & Martha & all the family.God bless you and give you continued strength.
I know that you are praying, TBc. I can feel your prayers & we all still need them. It’s taking a lot of just plain WORK on Frank’s part now…he is so weak & he is really exhausted after each Therapy session. However, he never complains, he trys so hard to stay positive & people have stopped going to visit him so often. Here is this man, who has been my brother all of my life & I have more respect for him now, than I ever had before.
For 40 years he was a very successful businessman, lived on the Plaza in Kansas City, owned his own advertising agency, etc., ETC. He hit bottom so fast & fell such a long way. But, guess what…I have been blessed to know him as just a person these last 12 yrs. & he is an inspiration to me.
We’re going back to see him on Sat. His goal is to become ambulatory so that he can come back home & be eligible to live in an assisted living building. He’s now at the VA hospital, so he’s closer than he was. It’s about a 120 mi. round trip drive… But, it would be so good if he could be home where I could just drop by several times a week.
For a Special Favor
O glorious Apostle St. Jude, true relative of Jesus and Mary, I salute you through the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Through this Heart, I praise and thank God for all the graces He has bestowed upon you. Humbly prostrate before you, I implore you through this Heart to look down upon me with compassion. Despise not my poor prayer and let not my trust be in vain. To you has been assigned the privilege of aiding mankind in the most desperate cases. Oh, come to my aid that I may praise the mercies of God. All my life I will be grateful to you and will be your faithful client until I can thank you in heaven. 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
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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.
Thanks to all of you who have stayed with me & prayed for these many months.
