Tomorrow at 8:30am MST, my mother will undergo surgery to remove an aggressive form of ovarian cancer that appears to be spreading at an unprecedented pace. At present it took only 3 days for the cancer to spread from being in the near vicinity of her kidneys to her colon and another location in her abdomen.

This will be her fourth battle with this dangerous form of cancer which continues to return despite the fact that she non of her internal reproductive organs.

Not only do I plea for your intentions concerning her physical health, I ask that you pray for her spiritual well being as she refused to see a priest in order to receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

God bless this servant of His that I have never met, they live in Albuquerque and I called five parishes. He was the only one to call and only the second to actually have a number for emergencies. Please pray for him, Monsignor Douglas Raun, Pastor of Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish Catholic Church in Rio Ranch, New Mexico.

Thank you all in advance.
 
I am praying, lozeerose.

Jesus, Master Physician of all times,
Your Divinity did not require a Ph.D.
Eagerly, You resurrected the dead,
Restoring the health of the sick.
Be it physical or spiritual torment,
None were a great obstacle to You:
For Your loving power is omnipotent.
I ask for Your abounding healing love;
Maintain my body and soul vigorous
So I may fulfill my daily functions.
The world will be conquered by You,
All afflictions will be dissipated!

**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.

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 death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.**

Dear Lord Jesus, I pray that your mom has a succesful operation and that the surgeons hands are blessed by God. Afterwhich I hope the cancer spreads no more. I also pray that your mom draws closer to God in any way possible.

I also want to pray a blessing for Monsignor Douglas Raun, Pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish Catholic Church for being so responsive to your needs on this emergency occasion. And lastly I would like to say a prayer for you lozeerose, that you continue to have hope. In this I pray in Jesus name, 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.

Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit,

O my Jesus,
Forgive us our sins,
Save us from the fires of Hell,
Lead all souls to heaven,

To Thee do we send up our sighs,
Mounring and weeping in this valley of tears,
Turn then most gracious advocate,
Thine eyes of mercy towards us,
And after this our exile,
Show us unto the Blessed fruit,
Of Thy womb Jesus,
O clement,
O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary,
Pray for us,
O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Chrst.
Amen.
 
Lord, I pray that lozeerose’s mother had a successful surgery. May her mother grow closer to you and your church and soften her heart to want to recive the sacraments. I pray that she does not let anything separate herself form you. I pray for Monsignor Douglas Raun that he keeps faithful to you and carries on the way he is as your devoted representative on earth. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
 
Blessed Zelie Martin (St Therese’s mother) who suffered from breast cancer at a time when there was no cure, please pray for this loved mother for all the blessings God wishes to give to and through her
 
I’m praying for your mom and you and your family, as well as Monsignor Douglas Raun.
 
I wanted to thank everyone on this thread that took the time to pray for my intentions. Furthermore, I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to pray any of the intentions posted here - your prayers are always beneficial and heard.

In the case of my mother, she made it through the surgery fine. However, God saw fit to grant her a particular type of blessing that is not without its downside, especially for those who disregard the power of suffering. You see, the doctors informed my mother that the cancer spread far beyond their initial estimate and metastasized in her bones and in some fleshy areas where surgery was impossible. She was given 6 - 12 months of life even with a standard course of chemo/radiation.

I recognized this a blessing of the type few capitalize on. First, she was afforded some timeline of life expectancy. To another person, this may cause despair but to my mom, this only made her pumped to make sure that she spent quality time with those whom she loves.

Second, there is the suffering. As Catholics we know that suffering with Our Lord is a blessing as we walk in closer with Him in His suffering and are thus given a powerful tool for redemption of ourselves and even others.

Lastly, there was the light of HOPE. Upon further review of her case, the doctors found that the previous course of action to treat her cancer, which helped her exceed original expectation and live 6 years prior to another manifestation, would be repeated in lieu of the standard far. This was being done under the educated assumption that successful completion of the treatment may increase her life expectancy.

All smiles so far because their still remains one impediment - my mother.

To date she remains lukewarm, at best, concerning her faith and her need to respond to the graces given unto her by Our Blessed Lord. This is of course the ultimate intersection between man and God. He gives freely and we often receive - yet we never muster the will to return the love in the manner rightly due Him.

Please continue to pray for her and my father, as well as my family for these next few months will be some of the most defining in all of our lives.

Oh, BTW, thanks for the prayer for Msgr. Raun. He and I remain in communication and his demonstration of pastoral care is truly remarkable. He is certainly worthy of his ordination and service Keep those prayer coming as well.

Much love and God bless.
 
Hope. It is what we live by. I offer my story, to show what hope and prayer can do. In July, 2008, I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer (Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma - NOS) at stage 4. I had 54 tumors throughout my torso. The cancer was in my bone marrow. Due to the cancer’s rarity (.03% of all cancers) there was only a standard lymphoma treatment, intended for other more common types, that could be applied. If the cancer did not respond, I was given a few months to live, and began making mental preparations to die. There was, as I recall, about a 30-40% chance that the cancer would respond at all. Prayers were begun. After four months of intensive chemotherapy involving eight chemotherapy drugs, the cancer went into complete response by December, 2008.

I was scanned in early 2009 only to be told that the cancer was back. Relapse within 6 months of treatment is a poor predictor of survival. The only treatment available was “salvage therapy” which involved even more chemotherapy - but the immediate relapse indicated that the cancer was highly resistant to chemotherapy. I considered a stem-cell transplant, but no matching donor could be located anywhere in the world. I have no immediate family to donate. Hope was fading by this time. Again, I began to prepare for death.

At that exact time, a clinical trial of an experimental anti-cancer drug opened up. I entered the trial and have been on that drug now since March, 2009. The cancer again went into complete response (remission) and has not shown on any scans since then. Doctor says that such an aggressive cancer would have shown itself by this time, and that I can consider stopping treatment completely in a few months. 75% of those who were diagnosed when I was are now gone. If I had developed this cancer even 6 months earlier, I would not be here.

All this, when it appeared that I would not survive 2008, and then 2009. Faith, hope and the prayers of the faithful have brought me this far. My life hangs by the thread of prayer.

Obviously, I would inquire into clinical trials of experimental drugs, since new methods of attacking the disease are appearing regularly. But, faith, hope and prayer can, and have worked wonders.

Prayers continuing and may Christ’s peace be with your family.
 
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.
