It seems selfish to ask for prayer at such a time as this, with so many souls still buried under rubble in Haiti, many still alive and suffering greater anguish than any of us may ever know. I pray for them with all my heart.
And I ask for your prayers in order to continue my ministry with elderly sick and dying prisoners.
I fell and broke my right hip and right wrist on Oct. 26 - and am healing, yet unable to continue with my work at the prison as before with making so many rounds - and now it seems I am at yet another crossroads at 75 - Exhausted surrender is what I am experiencing.

God Bless. Take Care.

Bible verses from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Noon reading (Sext) Romans 8:26 ©
The Spirit comes to help us in our weakness. For when we cannot choose words in order to pray properly, the Spirit himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words.
Afternoon reading (None) 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 ©
Remember it is God himself who assures us all, and you, of our standing in Christ, and has anointed us, marking us with his seal and giving us the pledge, the Spirit, that we carry in our hearts.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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
 
**A Prayer For Healing **
from Catholic Doors Ministry
Lord, look upon Sister Kathleen with eyes of mercy,
may Your healing hand rest upon her,
may Your life giving powers
flow into every cell of her body
and into the depths of her soul,
cleansing, purifying, restoring her
to wholeness and strength
for service in Your Kingdom.
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.

Lifting you in prayer and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Peace,
Kathleen

A PRAYER FOR HEALING
Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your healing Hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others; touch my heart with Your courage and infinite Love for all; touch my mind with Your Wisdom, and may my mouth always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in all my needs, and help me to lead others to You by my example.
Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch gently this life which you have created, now and forever.
Amen.
 
**God Bless you for your work!

As a former prison inmate i know the incredible value of a visit from a Witness like yourself!**

Receiving a letter or a Bible or a good Catholic apologetics book was the second best thing (Handbook Of Catholic Apologetics shop.catholic.com/product.php?productid=16575, The confessions of St. Augustine
By Saint Augustine (Bishop of Hippo.), John Kenneth Ryan books.google.com/books?id=DRMbsJAvsSIC&dq=Augustine%27s+Confessions+Ryan&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=yUwcCWDlvk&sig=G2GgoIxpoVdyHXKMuekFF5sNkXs&hl=en&ei=6qIrS6HNKo6csgOQ19HGBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Augustine%27s%20Confessions%20Ryan&f=false). Please consider writing or having someone write to the inmates you visited to provide encouragement.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora Pro Nobis Peccatoribus!

Sister Katie I ask Jesus to help you to heal, and also to guide and help you in the ministry He would wish you to live at this time. I’m sure that your prayers for the elderly sick and dying prisoners is a ministry and charity that delights Him. I pray that if God requires a quieter or different ministry of you at the time, that He will inspire and lead others to wonderfully take your place in this ministry. I’m sure God would welcome your prayers that others will follow you into this ministry as sooner or later, and we pray later! God will need others to follow

I broke both bones of my right wrist in 2005. My sympathy and prayers for how much this restricts you and all the work necessary to regain mobility and strength in the wrist after the cast is removed! God bless you. 🙂

And God bless you for all your past kindness to others, including sick and elderly prisoners, and to anyone, thus to Jesus.

A Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for those who are in suffering or distress. Look down on us, we beg of You and grant us the grace which we humbly and earnestly implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother to whom You confided us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with You. Amen.
 
Dear Sister Kathleen–It is us that should be asking you for prayers–what about just a short one for me please!
A saintly Sister (Margaret) used to look after heaps of elderly persons and she maintained that mostly “people break their hip and then fall”-either way you end up immobilized.I used to have the privilege of caring for an elderly priest,his doctor wanted him to use a walker rather than a stick,here is his professional advice and I quote 'Father if you fall and break your hip, your bugged"!!😃
St.Maximilian Kolbe used to like to take visitors to the infirmary saying “here is where our best workers are”!!
You loved “your prisoners” in your active service–now you are winning graces for them!!
75 years-you are only a spring chicken!! So get better fast!

Our Lady,health of the sick,bless Sister K. and her prisoners who need her graces,Amen,
