I have a large tumor in my upper left lung which has grown past the ribs and into the vetebrae. The partial paralysis was caused when the weakened bone collapsed, and tumor tissue is pressing on the nerves. I have to go through immediate major surgery, which they have to transport me to Danville for.

Prognosis is not good. Best we can hope for is my not being a complete paraplegic. We'll worry about the cancer later.

Please pray for me.

When I'm in Lourdes next week there will be a candle lit in the Grotto asking the Blessed Mother to take you in her arms and comfort and sustain you

Prayers for our friend and brother, the professor, that the holy, unmercenary physicians, Cyril and Methodius, give direction to his earthly doctors and that the Lord restore him to health and well-being

May our Lord have mercy on our brother in Christ, the Professor.
May St. Nektarios, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints you hold dear, intercede on your behalf.

Kyrie Eleison! Amen.

In Christ,
Alice

I am so far behind on typing prayers in, but know you have been prayed for.

Thomas the Seeker posted this on another prayer for someone, it is so perfect for you.

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Lover of Mankind, Physician of our souls and bodies, who didst bear the pain of our infirmities, and by whose wounds we are healed,

Who gave sight to the man born blind,

Who straightened the woman who was bent over for 18 years,

Who gave speech and sight to the mute demoniac,

Who not only forgave the paralytic his sins, but healed him to walk,

Who restored the withered hand of a troubled man,

Who stopped the flow of blood of her who bled for 12 years

Who raised Jairus' daughter to life

And brought the 4-day-dead Lazarus to life

And who heals every infirmity under the sun,

Do now, O Lord, give your grace to all those here gathered who have labored and studied hour upon hour, to go into all the world, and also to heal by the talent You have given to each of them.

Strengthen them, by your strength, to fear no evil or disease,

Enlighten them to do no evil by the works of their hands,

And preserve them and those they serve in peace,

For You are our God, and we know no other,

And to you we send up glory together with your Father who is from everlasting, and your most Holy, Good, and Life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.


Fr. John Parker
