My belly hurts; I have a fever; there's blood in my stool. My husband is dead; my sister is recovering from stomach cancer; my mother is not recovering from abdominal cancer.

I'm scared, for myself and for my two little boys.

Calling the doctor on Monday morning is so far away.

Please, in your great compassion, pray for me, the least of your sisters.

Through the prayers of our holy father, St. Nectarios, O Christ our God, have mercy and grant healing to our handmaiden.

Almighty God, Father of mercies and God of all comfort, come to the help of Thy handmaiden Penthaetria, and deliver her from the difficulties before her. She believes, Lord, that all trials of life are under Thy care and that all things work for the good of those who love Thee. Take away from her fear, anxiety and distress. Help her to face and endure her difficulties with faith, courage and wisdom. Grant that this trial may bring her closer to Thee, for Thou are our rock and refuge, our comfort and hope, our delight and joy. We trust in Thy love and compassion. Blessed is Thy name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

O Lord our God, Who by a word alone did heal all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every sickness and infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to Your handmaiden Penthaetria, grant her peace, and cure her of every sickness of which she is grieved; and send down upon her Your great mercy, and if it be Your will, give to her health and a complete recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we send up Glory: to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Both now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayers. And I agree with Lawrence that someone taking you to the ER -or, by ambulance if needed - is not something to be shy about if you need to.
Prayers for our sister for health and healing and a calming of her fears!
Most Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for our sister P

PS you can call the Dr. NOW - you know they take calls any hour!

Dearest Alicia,

My heartfelt prayers for you, beloved forum sister in Christ, for you in this frightening situation...do not fear...all will be alright...

I pray with all my heart and soul that St. Nektarios will be with you and heal you through his awesome intercessions to our benevolent Lord and Saviour...

The offspring of Selyvria and the guardian of Aegina,
the true friend of virtue who appeared in the last days,
we faithful honour thee as a godly servant of Christ,
for thou pourest forth healings of all kinds for those who piously cry out:
Glorty to Christ who glorified thee
Glory to Him who made thee wondrous
Glory to Him who worketh healings for all through thee.

AMEN, amen, amen!

In Christ, our Hope,
Alice

After 10 hours in the ER today, I have both a diagnosis and a treatment.

Diverticulitis: easily treatable and easily controllable.

Thank you so very much for your prayers, concern, and compassion. May the Mother of God protect you always.

I'm sooooooo glad you have a diagnosis

Unpleasant, but as you say treatable and controllable .


Thank God for His mercy
