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.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)

(We pray for Frank that he will continue to heal ).

May I bless God with thee and all the elect and attain life eternal. I promise thee as my special patron and will do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee and have thee known as patron of helpless cases. Amen.

Just had to let you know, I just spoke with Frank on the phone. I had to find out if he needed anything when we go to see him tomorrow. After 3 months of being fed intravenously, he asked for a sack of HERSHEY’S MINIATURES. That may seem to be a small thing, but it’s a big jump to me. Also, learned that he has asked the doctors to reverse his colostomy & they are considering it. I didn’t even know that this was possible…so maybe!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the day I “blew up” at my other brother & what can be done to heal that. I’ve not heard from him (or our other 2 siblings) since that day. They tend to “hang together” while Frank & I remain on the outskirts. Just to give you an idea about what I’m dealing with…about 8 yrs. ago, I helped to get Frank a job at the dept. store where I worked. He sold shoes & he was good at it. Both the store employees & his customers loved him. He worked there, until this past Christmas season when his health had deteriorated so badly that he couldn’t work anywhere. Anyway, several years ago, I was explaining to one of my sisters how well he was doing, how he had not missed a day of work since he was hired, etc. Her answer…I remember it word-for-word & wish I didn’t…“He’s a DRUNK & I don’t care if he hasn’t had a drink in years. That only means hje’s a dry DRUNK.” All 3 of our siblings felt that way. None had seen him in years & he asked me not to tell them that he was in the hospital. He also asked Martha not to say anything to them, but she did anyway. So that’s where we are, now. You might add me to your prayers. I ask for wisdom to know what to do.

Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you for the Wisdom I need, as I don’t know what to do about this latest rift in my family. I don’t even know if I can or should do something. Please guide me & help me.

Great is the wisdom of the Lord!
God Almighty, Your Wisdom includes
An understanding of what is fair,
What is logical, what is true,
What is right and what is lasting.
It mirrors Your pure intellect!
I entreat You to grant me such Wisdom,
That my labours may reflect Your insight.
Your Wisdom expands in Your creations,
Displaying complexity and multiplicity.
Your Wisdom is an eternity ahead of man.
**May Your wisdom flourish forever! **

Oh Lord God in Heaven I praise & thank you for the renewed strength…both spiritual & physical…that I’m seeing in my Brother. He means so much to me & I miss our weekly jaunts to the grocery store, Library & sometimes dinner out. Bring him back to me if it is Your Will, it would be so good for him to be in this city where Martha & I can visit him more.

“Saint Jude, (I called on you to help my Brother) you are the patron of the desperate and Saint of the Impossible, I turn to you in trusting prayer. Centuries of Christians have found you to be a mighty helper in overcoming seemingly impossible barriers.** We entrust to you our present need. (Please bless Frank) **Pray that we never lose heart when the way seems dark and dreary. We await your help and praise God for guiding us to seek your help in especialy difficult situations.” Amen.

You have been so good to us, St. Jude, that I have promised to direct others to You & will continue to give you special honor for the rest of my life. I hope to meet you in heaven where I can thank you personally for your intercession.

Pray for me TBC. I’ve just returned from my visit with Frank who is doing well…but he asked me to “fix” things between all the siblings & I am SO upset, because I don’t think that I can do that again. I am just beside myself.

My dear friend I sympathise with you so very much.You are indeed in a difficult position.I will keep you in my prayers that God will grant you the ability to know what to do or not do and to guide you along the way He wants you to go.It would indeed be wonderful for all your family to unite together and for them to reunite with Frank.All you can do is pray and try to coomunicate with your other siblings that Frank would like to see them.If they decide not to take up the offer then they are making their choice.At least you will have tried your very best.Don’t make yourself ill with worry over this though my friend.I have been in very similar situations to the one you are in now.I had to learn the hard way,you cannot make people do things, all you can do is pray and offer them the opportunity to make the effort to visit with Frank.
You are a very special lady and God loves you so much.He sees you are trying your very best to be a loyal caring sister to Frank.As I said before Frank and all your family are so lucky to have you.May God bless you for all your efforts.

Mother Mary please intercede for CradleCath that she will be able to communicate with her siblings to reunite with Frank

Am feeling better, but I’m a little worried right now. Frank had some bleeding Mon., but the doctors thought that it was because he is exercising too much & not drinking enough water. However, when I tried to reach his cell phone this morning, he didn’t answer…nor has he answered the message I left. He is allowed to keep his phone with him when he’s at the VA. hospital, but not when he’s at KU. Med. I’ll start calling this afternoon & if he doesn’t answer, I’ll call the hospital. Please pray that it’s nothing serious.

O Holy St Jude!
Apostle and Martyr,
great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near kinsman of Jesus Christ,
faithful intercessor for all who invoke you,
special patron in time of need;
to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart,
and humbly beg you,
to whom God has given such great power,
to come to Frank’s assistance;
help him now in his urgent need and grant my earnest petition.
I will never forget thy graces and favors you obtain for me
and I will do my utmost to spread devotion to you. Amen.

Dear St. Jude, Patron Saint of desparate & hopeless causes, keep us strong right now, & please intercede to the Father for Frank. He’s been sick for such a long time & has kept on keeping on. He needs your help to prevent another “back-set”. I give you thanks for all you have done for my Brother & myself.

Loving God, while reading past posts it came into my mind that Frank and his faithful sister are doing reparation for the unloving and judgemental attitudes of their other sisters.
Thank You for granting such reparation for their salvation, but it’s very difficult for him and for the sister who loves and understands him.

It is never easy to follow in Jesus’ footsteps as the suffering servant (Isaiah 53 verses 1-12)

Please continue to give this sister and brother the graces they need.
