I'd like to ask u pls for prayers to my grandfather, Roland, who went to his 17th ICT. This one is even more dramatic because our Melkite Patriarch Gregory III is coming here on 12th August and grandpa will receive from him a hommage.

Arriving from the hospital, my mother told me, trying to stimulate my grandfather, told him he would be better to be hommaged by the Patriarch. He answered "My daughter, I don't want to receive hommages; I only want to be alive to watch the Mass".

He doesn't complain of anything. My mother said he was apparently suffering pain, but was only saying "Ya Rabb, ya rabb" (O Lord, o Lord).

I thank you all on advance for these prayers and for all prayers you have already done in behalf of the great servant of God Roland.

Phillipe,

Forgive me, but what is 'ICT'?

My prayers that the Lord will grant your grandfather Roland health and alleviation of his pain. Amen.

Lord have mercy!

Oh, sorry, it's ICU. Portuguese abbreviation which has "T": CTI or UTI: centro (ou unidade) de tratamento intensivo.

Thank u so much, Alice!

Prayers for Roland, the grandfather of our brother and friend, that he may recover from this crisis and that God grant him many years in the loving arms of his family.

My prayers for Roland, your grandfather, that he be at peace and not suffer anymore pain. And for the loving support of all his dear ones at this special time. God, have mercy on him and them. Amen.

Many thanks Jakub, Neil and Porter!

I would like to ask you humbly to renew your prayers in behalf of my grandpa. He passed a time well, although without much motivation for daily stuff. He was only praying (daily rosary and mass) or being interested in religious programmes. But since two weeks he's in ITC unit in a very bad status. He's with so many medical devices and sedated (if he wakes, he gets anxious and his pressure raises much).

Please pray that the Lord's will be done.

Prayers for Roland, that he be comforted by the Lord and restored to health, if that is God's will
