Please pray for my OCMC Mission Trip to Romania July 28 through August 19.

Thank you!

Also, if anyone has any prayer requests that they'd like this unworthy volunteer missionary and pilgrim to carry to Romania, PM me by Wednesday.

Dave

Hello Dave, from your Romanian brother in Christ,

It seems that you will have a great time. And those monasteries will enchant your soul. They are very beautiful.
May our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, give you a safe trip till Romania, and enlighten and strengthen you to do your best.
Maybe you will tell us your impressions after your return. Or you may post here during your travel, when you may find 15 min free.
Do you learn Romanian? It would be fine if you would know some basic in this language. You will need.

In Christ, brotherly, Marian

P.S. If you remember, you may pray for me and my sister and mother. For health, peace and redeem, a better life in all the aspects.
Our names are: Marian, Georgeta (sister) and Ivanca (mother).
Thank you.

Dear Dave,

Like a regular Hodigitria Icon - they would tell you of course!

It is the icon-patroness of the area where my mother's family comes from.

Thank you for your kindness!

Yes I will pray for your trip!

How wonderful of you to take such a trip.
Please take pictures!


This raises a question: Why can't we have similiar trips to the "old country"?

Michael,

Please know that I always remember St. Michael's, and I will continue to do so in Romania; I have special prayers for the Choir and the Church School biggrin .

Is Fr. Gregory's e-mail working? I sent him a message a few weeks back, but I didn't get a reply.

Send my regards to all at St. Michael's!

Dave

If I come across one, I'll see what I can do.

Would you settle for a Nicula icon [ici.ro] ? It was originally Greek Catholic. wink The story of this icon is also reminiscent of the Mariapocs icon.
