Dear All,

Hi!!! Dominus vobiscum. Greetings in the Lord Jesus!!!

Please pray for Luke Otto. He was born on Monday, June 9th., 2003 and he has curved in legs/feet, enlarged kidneys, a knot on his vocal cords and respiratory problems. He was born at one hospital, transferred to another, and he might be transferred to yet another hospital. He is the fourth child of Greg and Rebecca Otto. Please keep both them, and baby Luke, in your daily prayers as this is a very difficult time for the parents as well. If you wish to say some encouraging words to the parents, you may do so when you respond to this prayer request and I will pass along your words of encouragement. They are very devout, traditional Catholics.

God bless and thank you for all of the prayers!!!

In Immaculata Corde Mariae,

"Ave Maria" frown

May God hear the prayers of Luke's parents for his health and well being. May God grant them the perseverence they will need during this most difficult time. May our Lady, the Holy Mother of us all in Heaven, comfort her children, the Ottos, and be with the infant, Luke, every step of the way in his recovery.

May the Holy Innocents intercede for Luke and God grant healing.

May the Child of Mary and Joseph strengthen the faith and hope of Greg and Rebecca. May they find consolation in the knowledge that even in the midst of this horrible time Luke is loved and cared for by the One Who will bring to be what is good for him and them.

Please assure them that we love our young brother and his parents and that we hold them in a special place in our hearts and prayers.

AMEN!

Lord be gracious to them in all matters. Guide the doctors with Your wisdom, and the parents with Your strength. Heavenly Father, heal them in all things, and grant Your peace to be upon them that the whole family is aware of the immensity of Your love for them.

Oh Most Holy Theotokos save us!

May the Lord God grant to his newborn infant servant healing and health. May God help and strengthen his family, the doctors and nurses who are caring for him.

May our holy Father Luke, Apostle, and physician intercede for this child, and show himself a powerful patron and intercessor before the Most High!
