Brothers and Sisters:

May the Lord Who is going to His voluntary and ever-memorable Passion for our salvation, Christ, Our True God, grant His many blessings on each of you for your generosity in prayer.

In your kindness, please add our grandson, Thomas, to your prayers. I've asked in the past for prayers for him due to his chronic ear infections. He had one double ear infection each month for the first nine months of his life. He was operated on last August 15, receiving tubes, and his ears were fine until just about a month ago. Then, he developed a major double infection again, his one tube is completely blocked, and the other has moved so that it is not working--his ears have been draining for almost a month. He cannot get a surgical date until a month from how for a new antibiotic-coated replacement set of tubes.

He's been on more antibiotics in his year and a half of life than I've been on in my entire life. But he still remains a cheerful child. He started to hit his head with his hand and that alerted his parents to this problem.

Thank God for each of you as a gift to me and thank you.

Dear Bob,

Be assured that I will remember little Thomas in my prayers. May God bless him and heal him. I beseech the heavenly and powerful intercessions of St. Nektarios and St. Luke the Surgeon for little Thomas.

Make sure that he gets yogurt and/or other probiotics with his antibiotics to keep his intestinal flora balanced.

Your friend in Christ,
Alice

May St. Thomas, the doubter who became such a powerful witness for Christ, intercede for his little namesake, that he may find healing and peace.

Prayers for young Thomas' quick recovery from this discomfort.

Having suffered from ear infections, I know how painful and uncomfortable they are.

May the patron saints of ears bless your grandson!

Christ is Risen!!

Thomas will be operated on a week from tomorrow to have medicated tubes placed in his ears. The first set is no longer doing what it should.

Christ is in our midst!!

The Father chastises those He loves.

He has developed some sort of food allergy and has twice in the past few days come down with hives after eating things he has eaten before. My daughter cannot get into a pediatric allergist until August 15 and is beside herself about what to do int the interim. I've never seen a reaction like the one he had at or home a week ago.
