Dear forum friends,

XPISTOS ANESTH!

Please pray for Donna Kelly. She is a mother of nine kids, ages 2-19. She has become very ill with what may be cancer (not sure yet).

The husband has been injured and unable to work for several years, so they have no health insurance. They are in a real bind.

Prayers from this forum have always brought visible and speedy help . . .

Also, please pray for the conversion of my agnostic friend Chris. He lives a moral life, and wants to be a traditional Catholic, but can't come to the realization of God's existence.

Thank you all and God bless.

F�liz Pasqua a todos.

Dear Latin Traditionalist, ALITHOS ANESTE! We will put DONNA and her family on our prayer-list immediately. May the Risen Lord be merciful to her and her family and care for them completely...so that they may all give thanks to the Lord in His Holy Church!

In the Risen Lord Jesus,

CHRIST IS RISEN!

Dear Lord,

Have mercy on your faithful servant Donna who needs your Divine help right now to heal her, to pay her bills, and to give hope to the family that so depends on her.

All things are possible through prayer, and You are a good and merciful Lord, so please hear our prayers for this Christian woman. It seems as if the evil one has dealt many challenges to this family all at once. Bless them Lord and please resolve those challenges, according to Your most holy will, quickly.

We pray this in loving brotherhood for all those who follow you faithfully...Amen.

Dear Jesus,

I keep coming here to pray for this young mother, yet I leave not being able to pray, astounded in some ways I guess.

Amen to all the prayers given by others!

Jesus in your loving heart, I ask you to take this mother and her family and caress them in the sacredness of YOUR LOVING HEART. Envelop them in your peace that passes all understanding, meet every need they have, strenghten and heal the father that he may take up your work for his family. Renew them in life, Lord you say "we are in the world but not of the world." They are dealing with this world Jesus, your grace is sufficient, but we are human and need physical strength, let those graces asked for and not asked for flow abundantly to meet every need possible.

Jesus, the woman with the hemorage said, "if I but thouch the hym of his garment, I will be healed" and with the mustard seed of faith and professing that faith she was healed. The woman said to you, "but even the dogs eat the scraps from the table," through the scraps of faith mighty miracles have occured in your name Jesus. LORD LET US SEE YOUR MIRACLES IN OUR DAY FOR THIS FAMILY. THANKYOU JESUS!

Most Holy Theotokos pray for them and for all involved. Also, pray for Chris, that he may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. For the needs of all who are hurting and in need for prayer on the forum.

Alithos Anesti!

May the Risen Lord heal His handmaiden Donna and her family, and restore sight to the spiritual eyes of His servant Chris who is blinded by unbelief.

Good news, guys & gals.

Donna Kelly's tumors (on her liver) are not malignant. They are some kind of benign growths. Her life is not in danger.

Thank you all for your prayers!!!

In Christ,

LatinTrad

PS I gave Chris a copy of The Everlasting Man by Chesterton. No feedback as of yet.

Fabulous news, LT. I knew you'd give us an update.
If I can think of possible books for Chris, too, I'll perhaps PM you w/that.

Praise God and thank you so much Jesus for the wonderful news.

Jesus the Father of this family is in need of much healing. Work miracles in our day as you did with the paralitic, the woman with the hemmorage...they believed and were healed. Come Lord Jesus thouch him and make him whole in Your Mighty Name Jesus, for your honor and glory.
