Hello everyone,
Today is my 57th birthday, which would normally be a cause for celebration. :). However, I have a heavy heart over recent events and would appreciate your prayers for my wife’s uncle, who is in ICU a the hospital with severe heart problems.

Background:
My wife’s favorite aunt passed away Friday night in the hospital, a few days after a major stroke. She was in her mid to late 80’s. She was a fellow Christian (Southern Baptist) and she had suffered the stroke while at church. She loved being at church, so in a way, she was where she liked being the most when it happened, if that is any consolation.

My wife’s uncle (her husband) is around 90 and has had ongoing problems with his heart in recent years. The stroke of his dear wife (they had been married over 68 years) was devastating to him, as you might imagine. They were very close and loved each other dearly. His status now is touch-and-go.

Even though I am not Catholic, I would appreciate it if you could pray for him and the family, especially their daughter and son, who were devastated by the death of their dear mother only to find their father now in serious condition at the hospital.

I’ve heard of situations like this before where when one spouse dies, sometimes the surviving spouse loses the will to live. I don’t know if that is the case here or not but I suspect it might be.

Thanks for your prayers that the Lord’s Will would be done. I appreciate it very much.
 
I’m praying …

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
:gopray:
 
Thank all of you very much especially because you don’t know me, I’m not Catholic, and you are still willing to pray for us. That means a lot to me. May God bless you all very much for being prayer warriors.
 
**Dear Mary, my holy mother,
I love you so much
and I give you my heart.
Help me to love God.
Help me to love my neighbour
as a child of God.
Help me to love myself
as a child of God.

Amen**
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Happy belated birthday! May God grant you are your family peace, love, and increasing faith in the Lord!

Prayer to St. Luke:

Most charming and saintly Physician, you were animated by the heavenly Spirit of love. In faithfully detailing the humanity of Jesus, you also showed His divinity and His genuine compassion for all human beings. Inspire our physicians with your professionalism and with the divine compassion for their patients. Enable them to cure the ills of both body and spirit that afflict so many in our day.

Amen.

I appreciate all the prayers – I can feel them. May the Lord be with you, also, and may He be there in your time of need. 🙂
 
Remembering your wife’s uncle and the rest of your family in my daily prayers. Also praying tonight for the repose of your wife’s aunt’s soul. May the Lord grant comfort to all who grieve for her.

God bless.

Thank you, UpUpAndAway. My wife’s uncle is still in ICU but has stabilized somewhat and is in better condition at last report.

The funeral for her aunt is Wednesday. One of her nieces reported they were singing one of her favorite hymns at church at the time she had the stroke. She loved worshipping and praying at church. She was a devout Christian lady who was always was very nice to me, even though I wasn’t a blood relative. I married into the family.
 
My wife’s uncle is out of the hospital and back home now. He is still very sad about losing his bride of 68 years, which is to be expected, but he appears to be recovering. Thanks again for everyone’s prayers. God is so very, very, good.
