Prayers for Pani Karen, that she be granted the physical strength to endure the trials of chemotherapy, that her treatment be successful, and that God grant her many years.

O Almighty Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior. The same Lord that so loves His children as to lay His life down for them. The same Lord that rose from the dead on the third day, and Ascended into Heaven. The same Lord that spoke the word and the Centurion’s Servant was immediately healed. The same Lord that restored sight to the blind; cleansed lepers, cured the halt and lame. The same Lord that with a word rebuked the seas and they were calm. The same Lord that raised Lazarus from the dead. The same Lord that has been given all power both in Heaven and on earth, do Thou, the same Lord visit and heal Thy servant, Karen from the afflictions that he is now suffering. Strengthen our faith like that of the Roman Centurion, so that we may ask for this healing with the same faith, trust, and hope that Thy servant, Karen will be healed in the same manner that the Centurion’s servant was restored to health. O Holy physician of our souls and bodies, hear this fervent prayer for Thy servant Karen and grant this request as we hold this, Thy servant up before Thy glorious Throne. We ask this in the victorious and Holy Name of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ.


The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love.   (Zephaniah 3:17)   ‎. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says Yahweh Sabaoth" (Zach 4:6)

My humble prayer is offered for Pani Karen and Fr Deacon Greg; may God give them strength to endure.

St. Nektarios, healer and wonderworker through God's mercy, patron saint of cancer and illness, please come to the aid of Pani Karen--help her get through her treatments and to come to full health. Amen.

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 healings of all kinds for those who piously cry out,
Glory to Christ who glorified thee,
Glory to Him who made thee wondrous,
Glory to Him who worketh healings for all through thee. Amen.

She has been in my prayers since I found out about the cancer. Dn. Gregory was one of my students when I taught in the Melkite Deacon Program. They are wonderful people with a strong faith

I let her know Byzcath is praying for her and she is very thankful!
