Lord Jesus Christ, you alone are the master of OLS life, and Jesus I know you hear her pain and grief. Come now oh most loving of Masters and bring your comfort to her and her family. Jesus we ask in your name for your supernatural healing to flow through Raymond, from the very hairs on his head to the tip of his toes, let nothing be untouched. May our God whose ways pass all understanding, hear the prayers of his faithful servant, and as with so many bring new life. Amen.

Well that's the end of his first week of 'recuperation' .

And it's been a very very tough one. As yet there are no signs that he is making any blood - so he continues to get whole blood and platelets each day. He is on 4 antibiotics now and lots of other treatments too and now has all the side effects of his Chemo.

There are plenty of times that he has said he cannot live like this - but we continue to struggle on.

As yet we don't know when his next round of Chemo starts and then there will be another 'recuperation' period to go through

My thoughts and prayers are with Raymond and you at this difficult time. May God give Raymond the supernatural strength and will to endure this terrible trial.

May our Lord watch over both of you and our blessed Virgin Mary keep you in her care.

In Christ,
Alice

Prayers for Raymond, my sister Anhelyna, and their children

May God give you and Raymond and your entire family the strength to keep going. Never give up. Sometimes it is so hard to fight, but we must keep fighting and believe that it will get better. Because it will.

Lord, please help this man and this woman and their family. Help them to find the inner strength to persevere, no matter how hard it might be. Let the painkillers take care of the bad parts so there are no memories. Let your love and strength flow into them all, to provide the knowledge that it will get better. Let your healing hands, which called Lazarus from the tomb, help Raymond and his entire family to take it one day at a time until the light of your love surrounds them as the daylight surrounded Lazarus and his family and they knew the truth about you.

Tim
