Hi Prayer Warriors!

My good friend Kaths husband is battling terminal cancer and has just received bad news about the growth of a new tumor. He is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday next week and would desperately love to be able to spend Christmas with his family.

Here is a brief version of their story as told by Kath, written before they received this news:

Nick got diagnosed 5 years ago, 10 days before our 2nd baby was born. Josh our first son was 16 months old. During this 5 years Nick has undergone 20 hours surgery to his head, 5 weeks radiation and a year chemotherapy. The past 6 months the tumour has grown. We started chemo again, but unfortunately Nicks body did not handle it, so therefore we are unable to have anymore treatment. I admire Nick tremendously, he is so positive, never gives up and lives everyday for our two beautiful boys Josh 6, and Paddy 5 and me. As a family we have not wanted any symapthy or to be wrapped in cotton wool, we want to get on with life and play the cards we have been given. With Nicks tumours it is very hard sometimes as he gets very tired and his speech is affected tremendously. But together with our families and friends and faith we get through these times.

Please pray for them, they are Catholic, have great faith and are the bravest family I know.
Thanks and God Bless you all

Amen.

Oh, my Jesus,
Forgive us our sins,
Save us from the fires of Hell,
Lead all souls to Heaven
Especially those which have
Most need of thy mercies.
Amen

May God have mercy on his soul and grant him the grace of a holy death.

May I recommend the following video for him, his family, and friends on end of life issues?

I find it incredibly comforting and it puts things in great perspective.

God bless!

May Nick be abandoned to God’s Merciful Love fully confident in His Merciful Love. May he keep strong spiritually and let nothing separate him from the Lord. Praying that his soul is greatly strengthened through prayer and the sacraments. Amen.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
