Today I've received from Doubting Thomas' sister the following message:

"Hi, Philippe...Thomas is in the hospital because he keeps having seizures, so please pray that the doctors can find out what is wrong. Thanks so much! God bless you!"

Please pray for him.

"O Holy Father, Heavenly Physician of our souls and bodies, who sent Your Only-Begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ to heal all of our ailments and deliver us from death, visit and heal Your servant Thomas, granting him release from pain and restoring him to full health and vigor, that he may give thanks to You and bless Your Holy
Name, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and always and for ever
and ever. Amem."
("Prayer for the sick",from the book "Pray at Home", Melkite Eparchy of Australia)

Prayers for our brother and friend, Thomas, that his physicians be guided by the Unmercenary Physicians, Cosmas and Damien, in diagnosing and treating his condition and that Thomas be restored in health to his family and to the family of this community.

Philippe,

Have you heard anything more from Thomas' sister about how he is doing?

Many years,

Neil

Ow, thank God, Thomas is better!

He uptaded his "twitter" on Facebook: "Thomas Jon Simon Marsh is feeling well enough to facebook (a little bit) and is marvelling over how loved he is".

And today he sent me a message.

Thank you so much for your fervent prayers!
