O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I place my trust in Thee,
Whatever may befall me Lord,
though dark the hour may be;
In all my woes, in all my joys,
though nought but grief I see,
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I place my trust in Thee.
 
Lord our gift of sight is so precious and appreciated by us. Please help odhiambo to protect her sight from damage and loss.
Please allow her to preserve her independence and freedom that sight allows.
Please bless her in all aspects of her life.
 
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!
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Loving God,

We lift our prayers and intentions for our friend odhiambo, and we pray for her vision and health to be preserved, in accordance with your Holy and perfect will. Please bless odhiambo, dear Lord, as we trust in your divine providence.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments we might not despair,
nor become despondent,
but with great confidence submit ourselves
to Your holy will, which is love and mercy itself.

May the blessed Saints pray for our friend in her time of need:

St. James pray for us, Blessed Mother Teresa pray for us, St. Paul pray for us, St. John pray for us, St. Teresa of Avila pray for us, Blessed Pope John XXIII pray for us, St. Catherine of Sienna pray for us.

Amen.
 
Update:
For the past one week, the world has been marking
World Glaucoma Week that ended yesterday. Here in Nairobi, ophthalmologists, glaucoma specialists, those suffering from the disease as well as any member of the public interested to know about glaucoma, all met at the Aga Khan University Hospital, one of the leading hospitals in Nairobi. I was among the many people who turn up for this last day event. I learnt a thing or two about glaucoma.
What I learnt was that one can have glaucoma and lose one’s sight in the presence of normal eye pressure. Such glaucoma is called low-tension glaucoma.
There was free eye screening and I decided to take advantage of that offer. I was screened. Suffice to say that my vision was found to be, well, poor.
Eye pressure was normal, eye disc was also normal.
Fact: I am at high risk of developing glaucoma but as yet, I do not have it, praise be to God. Frequent visits to the ophthalmologist to continue.
What is apparently causing the poor vision which had so scared me, is cataract, which is completely treatable; laser or the knife, my choice.😃
They are still, supposedly small, so I will wait until such time that when I want to read any prayers you guys have posted, I have to bring my face so close to the screen that my nose touches it.😃
That will be the time to let someone tinker with my eyes.🙂
So my friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, you see how true it is, God does work in mysterious ways.
So to all of you, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, thank you so much for caring enough to pray for me.
Thank you!
