Dear Forum Friends,

I have been asked by one of Father Gregory's friends to post a prayer request. Father has not posted with us for over a month now and I am sure many of us here miss him and his prayerful support and loving guidance... So...

Heavenly Father, bless your priest, Father Gregory, give him improved health and healing, rest and recreation, answer his every prayer, and when the time is right for him and this break is over please bring him back to us.

In Christ and the Theotokos,

Mary Jo>>> who adds...if you are reading this Father...we appreciate you!! smile

Prayers for our humble and blessed Father, Gregory. May the Theotokos visit him with her mantle of protection, consolation and healing. Amen!

I would also like to have Father Gregory back on this forum. He wrote such beautiful prayers. It is a gift that is not given to many, and I do so wish that he would rejoin us, and 'bless' us once more with his God-given ability.

Prayers for Father Gregory. Alas, I too miss the many gifts he brought to this forum. Especially his powerful prayers. frown

Each day I search our site for Father and his return.

May Christ our God heal his servant the priest Gregory and bring him back to us when the time is right.

Dear Brethren,

I join you in earnest prayer for our beloved Father Gregory. May whatever it is that made him feel that he needed to take a break from the forum-- whether it be of the world, of the soul or of the body-- be healed, and may we once again be blessed by his loving and prayerful presence. He is very loved and appreciated by many on this forum.

May our blessed Lady Theotokos, who I know he is very close to, and who, in turn, loves him very much, always protect him from the demon's darts, and from all danger, evil and harm.

In a very special way, I offer this prayer, as I am the person that brought him here. Anyone who has brought another here, will know how I feel.

I ask these things through the powerful intercessions of our Lady Theotokos......

With much love in the Risen Christ...
Alice

Father Gregory may be back at some point, though I cannot say for sure when.

He sent me a message from work a few weeks ago and said that his home computer had "given up the ghost." That may be why he hasn't been able to comunicate for awhile.

He remains in my daily prayers. May the Lord grant him whatever He knows is necessary for Father Gregory's health of soul, mind, and body in this life and in the life to come life everlasting.

In Christ,

BOB

May the Most Holy Theotokos intercede for her servant Gregory, who loves her so much. His words of solace have comforted many, including myself on numerous occasions. May God grant many blessed years to His servant at the altar Gregory.

May our Lord bring Fr. Gregory back to this forum, if it is His Will.

May the Lord continue to use Fr. Gregory in other ways, if it is not.

The prayers have appeared to work! He has been "seen" (perhaps?). Praised be to God.

Our Dearest Fr. Gregory you can tell you are much loved. Though you are not present with us on the forum, we are present with you spiritually. Our Almighty Father is not contained in space and time, so as all of our angels gaze upon his glory and they watch over and minister to us, your angel does the same. Each time a prayer is heard for this forum, it is heard for you Fr. Gregory.

Dear holy ones of Jesus, our guardian angels and the saints, bring Fr. Gregory back home. We his children miss him. And heal his computer too!

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on Fr. Gregory!

Through the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos grant him health, peace, and happiness.

As we approach the Day of Pentecost, may the Awesome and Life Giving Holy Spirit pour out a double portion of his blessings on Fr. Gregory and all the priests and deacons gathered here on the forum. May they all be healed of all the wounds from the swords that have peirced their hearts. Renew their spirits Lord, let them fly on the wings of the Eagles, with joy in their hearts.
