Mac lives two doors down from me. He's a very kind man who is always willing to help out anyone in the neighborhood. He helps with the sick, cares for his autistic grandchildren, works part-time, and is the first one there when you have a house problem, to ask "can I help".

Well, Max had a heart by-pass surgery about four years ago and now he's going in for another operation on Wednesday. It seems where the surgery was done, things are closing up again.

Please pray for Mac. If there was ever a good samaritan, it's our Mac.

Prayers that the Lord guides the surgeon's hands and that Mac will experience healing that he may continue to serve others in love that reflects the gospel.

In IC XC,
Father Anthony+


Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

I join in prayer for the well-being of Mac, the good Samaritan of our day!

He just might be an angel in disguise?

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, fix Mac's heart so that it beats with newness of life. Thank you for the testimony of faith and the faith of a close friend who believes that you can heal him. You Dear Lord said to the man who was let down through the roof by a few close friends that he was saved by their faith. Take the faith of all of those who know Mac, apply their faith to his, and heal him Jesus. In the name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and St. Joseph. amen.

I went over to see how Mac was doing and was surprised when he himself opened the door.

Evidently there was a mix up with his insurance and pre-surgery blood test. So now his surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Please keep Mac in your prayers.
