Prayer request: seminarian with cancer

WDTPRSers… perhaps in your goodness, you would again think to ask God for a miracle in this concrete case of urgent need.

In your charity will you please pray for a blogger, naval officer, seminarian Philip Gerard Johnson.  He has been battling brain cancer, which has begun to assert itself again.

His blog is Caritate non ficta.  You can read his update there.

Pray to Ven. Pauline Jaricot for a swift, full and enduring recovery from this malady.

May I suggest that you ask this miracle through the intercession of Ven. Pauline Jaricot?

    Almighty God, who knew us all from before creation
    called us into being according to Your plan,
    we humbly beseech You,
    through the intercession of Venerable Pauline Jaricot,
    who cared for the sick during her earthly life,
    that the seminarian Philip Gerard be swiftly and completely cured of his cancer
    so that God’s glory and mercy may be manifest.

    Venerable Pauline, we ask you in this urgent need,
    pray now before God’s throne
    that Philip Gerard be completely and swiftly healed by God’s miraculous act,
    that God be glorified in the working of this miracle,
    that we be edified by His mercy.
    Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we thank you for all your gifts and mercy.
    In Jesus’ Name we beg that this be done according to God’s will.

    Amen.

May we have ALL WDTPRSers do this?

Those of you who are registered, chime in.

Also, remember that praying to many saints and angels, while praiseworthy, makes the authentication of the miracle for more difficult.

If we do not ask for miracles they will not be granted.  Ask for miracles!
