Christ is Risen!
Truly He is Risen!

Dear all,

I ask you please to add Michael to your daily prayers this week especially. He has had some trying times lately, and with God's help things are improving for him. This week especially will be decisive in many ways, so please remember him in your prayers.

Gaudior, in the Risen Christ

God bless Micheal with all that is encamping round about him and bring him safely through. Also for Gaudior and his intentions. May he be blessed!

Many thanks all, I know Michael has seen the thread, and it has been a source of encouragement to him. We so often forget how much it truly means to others to know they are being prayed for.

Gaudior, blessing those who find time to pray for strangers in need

Prayers for Michael in his hours of need

CHRIST IS RISEN! CHRISTOS ANESTI! CHRISTOS VOSKRESE! +May the Risen Lord Jesus bless and sustain MICHAEL His son and servant through all the difficulties of this day and week and year!

For Michael:

Dear God: I see a tiny speck of light that has crept into my view...I've lived in total darkness,but I hid it well from you. The layers of self hatred so destructive to my soul are suddenly dissolving, where they once had full control.What's this I see ? A butterfly wing,just partly in view... so delicate and lovely..with colors bright and new ! There goes another layer, and my heart begins to smile. I shed the guilt and anger that has kept me in denial. I see the buttefly rising and completley shed its skin...and suddenly I realize its a mirror I'm looking in.

With love in the Risen Lord,
+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who is praying for you!


+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who asks for your holy prayers!

I have heard a little good news from Michael.

He has just signed a lease for new accommodation for the next academic session - much nicer and very much quieter [and more conducive to study wink ]. This he has been trying to get for some considerable time.

He asks that in your charity you continue to keep him in your prayers and intercede for him that he will not show too many gaps in his knowledge during his forthcoming exams .

His life is beginning to get on a more even keel , and he greatly appreciates your support. I know how surprised he has been that people ,whom he does not know, have been so willing to join with others and hold him in their prayers.

From Michael ---- many many thanks

Hello to all,
I would like to thank everyone for their prayers...they have been very comforting to me. Of your charity, I ask for your continued prayers especially throughout this week as I will be taking an important exam for my PhD, which will be a week long event. I have never taken a demanding exam for this long before, so I humbly ask for your prayers. Thank you.

In Christ,
Michael


Please pray for me.

God grant unto Michael purpose and clarity of mind so that he may successfuly complete his exams. Let him remeber his guardian angel sitting with him during this time, as Michael gazes at his paper, his angel will be gazing at the radiance of your face. Be glorified Lord Jesus!
