Shirley is up and about. Doctors said that the type of wound that she received is fatal more than 90% of the time. She will require nursing care for the next several weeks; however the job she obtained is with a good Christian employer and appears not to be threatened. Please continue to pray for her recovery and particularly for her son who is a veteran's hospital.

On Using the Prayer Request List

|

You have undoubtedly noticed that the prayer request list has gotten quite long. You've also no doubt noticed that much of it is not subject to a tremendous amount of change. My suggestion if you would like to take these intentions to daily prayer is to simply print up a recent list and tuck it into your Liturgy of the Hours, purse, or book that you always take with you to prayer. Rather than assaulting God's ears every day with every one of these, offer only those most recent and then all the intentions that we have carried every day. God knows what they are and He honors our intentions to pray for them. But God is more interested in us talking to Him than presenting "wish-lists." Naturally He will answer all prayers, but we needn't exercise ourselves over the list too much. On the other hand reading the list may bring up an issue we are presently working on and need help with.

Also, from here on out, I will try to confine the repeated requests to the "Extended Entry" portion of a post. If you don't have the list, it will always be available. But because I am already asking so much by requesting both requests and prayers for all of these intention, I don't want to try your patience too much. Anyway, thanks to all and thank you all for your wonderful, prayerful response.

Fr. Groeschel

| | Comments (5) | TrackBacks (1)

Rumor has it that Fr. Groeschel was hit by a car this weekend and suffered some extensive injuries. I haven't been able to verify this independently; however, prayer for Fr. Groeschel's health and well-being would certainly not be out of order even if the rumors prove untrue.

Prayer Requests 1/12/04

|

Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory, praiseworthy and glorious above all forever. Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever. (Daniel 3:53-54)

Praise:

Prayer Project Praise One of the unemployed for whom we were praying, Shirley, got a job! Louis got a temporary job and Gordon has a formal job offer! All praise and thanksgiving to our merciful Lord!

EMERGENCY PRAYER REQUEST: For wisdom, fortitude, and prudence as Gordon has yet another interview and potential offer that would keep him in our area. (Please pray hard on this one as the choices are very difficult for him.)


Prayers:

For Linda who will have to have some surgery to help correct the problem that has led to so much illness.

For Franklin's father, Bill, who is having angioplasty today. For his mother who isn't bearing up well under the stress. For Franklin as he travels to visit his father, and for Katherine as she contends with single-motherhood for a spell.

For Alicia and her relicensing issue (if it still exists)

For Audrey, who is battling anorexia, and to her family which is suffering through very difficult times.

For Grace Enriquez, director of my Carmelite community, for rapid and complete recovery from her surgery of 6 January 2004.

Continued prayers for Christine's father that he effect a complete recovery from his recent crisis.

For T.S. O'Rama's Grandmother who is experiencing a very difficult change in living arrangements

For Jeanetta's friend Mike who is battling non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

For Dylan's return to health and return to us.

For Karen Marie Knapp as she recovers from her recent hospitalization.

For the men and women of the American Armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and for their families, may the Good Lord provide sustenance, support, compassion, and love that these separated families might continue to grow in strength and love.


Special Prayer Projects:


(1) Chris Keith, the young lady whose biopsy went poorly got the results of that biopsy--carcinoma of the liver. The cancer is metastatic from colon cancer. Surgery has taken place to treat the colon cancer.

I paraphrase her mother:

"We [members of the family] are standing on the Rock and are rock solid. We are all okay and we are looking for a few prayer warriors to help us in this battle." Because this mother means so much to me for the great good she has done for my friends, I plan to stand with her and her family in this battle, and I invite you all to join me. Expect to hear about this on and off over the next few months.

(2) For Katherine's Mom as she undergoes chemotherapy--that the treatment is successful and her mother comes through this ordeal with a deeper sense of God's abiding love for her.

(3) For Katherine and Franklin, Janet and Louis, Bill Doran, and for all who are seeking employment and suffering through difficult times as they wait.

(4)Healthy Pregnancies and good and safe deliveries: From Davey's Mom: I am with child once again and could use prayers for a healthy pregnancy. For Suki, for a healthy pregancy and a safe delivery. For Ashli and her child that doctors may find a way to help her carry her young one to term.

Special Praise Alert

Gordon has negotiated and signed a contract for a good job

The downside of this is that they will have to move from here--good friends that we have come to rely upon for many things. But Praise God in His mercy and in His wonderful plan and keep praying for the others on our list-

(1)Franklin and Katherine
(2) Louis, for a permanent Job
(3) Deb. T (Denise's Carmelite formation director)
(4) Bill Doran

And all of those in search of gainful employment in these trying times.

Praise and Thanksgiving

First and foremost to God all praise and glory for the efficacy of prayer and the riches of His grace. Keep praying for Linda, but she was doing much better yestereve and I have high hopes for the continuation of her recovery from this bout of asthma.

And my most sincere appreciation and thanks to all of those who wrote to tell me that they were praying and for all of those who I know were praying but did not write. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It affected my ability to deal with the situation and hastened Linda's recovery. I am deeply grateful.

Linda Redux

| | Comments (7)

I'm sorry to impose on everyone again, but I would really be comforted to know that there was a lot of prayer going on for Linda. She's had a minor relapse, probably from trying to overdo things, and I'm more agitated than is helpful. So I suppose it is prayer for calm and the ability to handle whatever needs to be done and prayer for Linda's complete restoration to health.
