May our God Lord lead you over level ground that has many humps safley to a complete healing in Him.

Lord how awesome are your marvels that you brought your faithful servant to your Supper, not just to give but receive the Healing Bread come down from heaven.

Exod 23:25-26

25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Isa 41:10

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Matt 7:7-11

7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Mark 11:22-24

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

James 5:13-16

13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.


Thanks Archmandrite Gregory for all the wisdom you have brought to this forum. For sharing your pain also.

Many years ago we helped a priest who was struggleing with cancer. After his healing, he found himself the chaplin in the Catholic hospital in town. He spent many successful years helping people who were suffereing from and with family members who had cancer. Such a gift he received from our Lord. He truly enjoyed his work.

I, too, will keep you in my prayers.

As they say in the secular world, "Been there, done that!" Eight and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer in the early stages. I do understand!

I know God has his reasons for all He does.

Dear Everyone, +May HE Who is Risen bless you all and reward your great kindness! I thought that the first few weeks of post-radiation side-effects were horrible, but then 4 weeks ago they got even worse. It amazing what a person can learn to 'endure' and 'put-up with'! Every morning I have horrible pain and daily unpleasant side-effects now, but I serve 3 or 4 times a week and teach my Scripture Class every Thursday...so I am VERY thankful! As long as I can serve and do my best, I'm happy.

Many thanks for all of your holy prayers! I carry a list of all your names with me to Proskomedia each time I serve and read the names daily asking God to deepen your relationship with Him each day!

With much gratitude,
+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who asks for your continued prayers!
