Dear friends in Christ,
If you want, please, pray for me to lose weight, about 37 kg or 80 lbs frown . It is vital.
Thank you for your benevolence and for allowing me to be a part of this place.
May the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy upon you and all of you. Amin.
Forgive me for this request.
In Christ, Marian +

Marian,

As one who is also in the process of shedding (if only 20lbs), I certainly will pray for you.

God bless you!

Dear Marian,

I know that excess weight can literally be a handicap to a person for a myriad of reasons; physical, psychological and social.

I pray for you and for all who are in despair over their weight and that our Lord, the great Enlightener, will give you and whoever else is in the same predicament, the supernatural strength, discipline, commitment and knowledge that is needed for this goal.

With sincere compassion,
and
with love in Christ,
Alice

Gordo,

if you shed the pounds you will have to change your name. "Gordo" is the Spanish term of endearment for one who is chubby. I guess you'll be known as "Flaco", ie, the Spanish term of endearment for one who is on the thin side.
