Hi all,

My uncle was hospitalized today for a possible peritoneal infection and it really is taking a wear on him. He is in the hospital a lot and has type one diabetes, end-stage kidney failure(he is on dialysis), and end-stage heart failure among other things. He just learned that he will have to have four of his toes amputated and possibly one or both of his feet. He is in a sort of medical limbo as he doesn’t have much more time left before his heart will totally fail yet he can’t receive a heart transplant because of his kidney failure and general poor health, yet he also can’t receive a kidney transplant without his heart being stronger. He is in the hospital numerous times a year and has been near death several times in the past two years. In September he had a heart surgery which his doctor’s said was pretty much the last thing they could do for him unless miraculously the circumstances changed. Unfortunately the surgery wasn’t exactly a success and his condition has been deteriorating pretty rapidly. Just a month or so ago his blood pressure started destabilizing and he collapsed numerous times and he is now on the highest doses of blood pressure increasing medications which still are having little effect and his doctor’s say his time is dwindling. This has had him quite depressed and he is just plain worn out. Please pray for both his physical health and also for mental and spiritual perseverance for him. Please also pray for us, his family, in this difficult time.

With many thanks,

Zooman

Praying for your uncle’s health & recovery.
 
Lord, please send comforting and watchful angels to tend to this hurting family, especially this tried uncle. Touch him with your divine, healing hand, and free him of all physical and spiritual afflictions, in accord with the Father’s merciful will. Accept his every suffering or joy in life in union with your holy Passion. Cultivate in his heart ever the graces for faith, hope, love, joy, courage, and understanding. Grant the family much faith, hope, love, and joy also, and angelic assistance to help deal with difficulties. Spare a foretaste of heaven’s light into all their lives, that the fallen, darkened and difficult paths of this world be clearly navigated always toward the heavenly fountain of relief. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.

My prayers really go out to your uncle and to you and your family. May the Lord give you all the strength and grace to get through these difficult times.

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
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen.

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
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 . Amen
