It has been such a long time since I have posted on here. Life has just been so busy that I seldom have the time to pop in, much as I would like to. I have a very good friend who suffered a cranial aneurysm followed by a heart attack. His name is Michael and he is only 47 years old. He is on life support, and the decision has been made to take him off tomorrow. The doctors expect him to pass away shortly after. I have been praying for a miraculous healing, but I have also been praying for the salvation of his soul, as he does not have a relationship with God and his family confirmed this. Even though he does not know the Lord, he is an incredible mirror of Jesus. He is the most loving and selfless person I have ever known, constantly performing small acts of kindness, and truly “walking the walk”. It would mean so very much to me to have all who are willing pray earnestly for him. Thank you all so very much!! May the Lord bless you all!! ----Tracey

Praying for Michael’s health & recovery.
 
Lord be mindful of this as we ask for Michael’s salvation

Matthew 25:31-46

"The Sheep and the Goats

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
 
I just said a prayer for your friend. He’ll be in my prayers. God bless you.

RJB,
I would to start this post by saying that while I recognize your intentions are commendable I have trouble with the wording of your blessing 😦 . I did not see on your profile that you are a member of the priesthood of Jesus Christ nor the deaconate. As a Catholic lay person when we bless someone we always say something along the lines of “May God bless you” “God Bless” or “May the Blessed Mother bless you with the grace of her son” or in SOME way however it is said- request the blessing from God or the Blessed Mother or any variety of Saints…however since we do not share in Christ’s priesthood through the sacrament of Holy Orders we never say “I bless…” because we do not speak with the authority of Our Lord. If we wish to invoke His authority we usually say “In the name our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…” such as with binding prayers or feast blessings. I have never been to an Epscopal service before (although a priest of our local Oratory used to be am Episcopal priest) so I do not know how they bless or formulate prayer. However I feel I should tell you that the terminology you used is reserved solely for the Clergy. Therer is a great book on Catholic Blessings that include more blessings for the lay person than you could ever need- I’ll link it below. Not being confrontational just trying to help a fellow convert 🙂

Praying that the Lord may strengthen Michael and grant him all necessary graces.

I wanted to thank you SO MUCH for your prayers and blessings!!! Michael is surely benefitting from all of them. They took him off life support last night and 5 minutes later he passed away. I would so appreciate continued prayers for the repose of his soul as he embarks on yet another journey. The world will not be nearly as bright without his presence here on earth, but I trust that through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I will see his smiling face again one day and that you, too, will meet him and see the fruit of your prayers. I don’t personally know any of you, and yet you have strengthened and comforted me through one of the toughest times of my life. It is a beautiful thing how the body of Christ can be scattered throughout the earth and still come together as one for the Kindgdom of God and love and empower each other. Each and every one of you are such beautiful people and without even knowing you, I can say that I love you. Thank you for your continued prayers for Michael and all you have given him thus far. May the Lord bless you and keep you all the days of your life. :hug1:
