An important prayer petition request… please!

Will you take a moment, in your goodness, to pray – now – and maybe other times of the day and the days to come – for a friend of mine who will undergo surgery on Thursday 8 July for a tumor in his brain?

Please pray perhaps a Memorare or other prayer, any prayer, for "P", who might be embarrassed to see his name in public in such a way.  Even Mary’s great "Fiat… Let it be done according to Your will!"

I ask for a real outpouring of your prayers for a positive outcome to this surgery, for he has great responsibilities and many people depend on him.

Please.

  53. q7swallows says:

    Since–with an angel poke?–I recalled this intention for “P” right at the priest’s Communion this morning at Mass, I offered that — as well as my own a little later.  (But it felt far more efficacious offering the pastor’s!)  Children also offered their Mass intentions this morning for him.  And other cor ad Cor prayers were offered today for “P” in His Majesty’s Presence.  His Will be done, of course.  Delighted to have been asked!  Delighted to help out.

  54. Thank you all very much for the prayers.

    Keep them going.

    I will hopefully get news soon.

    Father -I also had cancer surgery on July 8,2010. Breast cancer with cells found in on of the cent. lobes. I will offer my pain and discomfort for the Bishops, priest, sisters, who support pro-choice and the Obama health care. That is also the Caatholic hospitals that are now pro-choice. My suffering will not go wasted. Thank you my JESUS! Mary pray for us!
