Father Karl has been moved to a step-down unit and is resting comfortably----he needs much rest.
Thank you all for your prayers

Lord of the Powers be with us, for in times of distress we have no other help but You.

Fr. Bob is still in need of many prayers. His pain and recovery is great. We are going to have a presiding priest for the next couple weeks. Thank you Fr Chris from Cleveland and Deacon Will for your service today.

Fr Bob wants to offer you a warm thank you for your prayers. He is recovering well but has yet to resume the liturgy.

He asks that I deliver this message to you (please forgive me if I happen to mess up some names as I am going from his hand writing):

"Thank you for giving your heart and mind and praying to the Father, healer of soul and body and give of new life. For all our currently sick priest: Bob Karl, George Veda, Chris Zugger, Michael Evanik, Gregory Petoeska, and for the priests: Cuthbert Jack, OSB, Chris Burke, David Busnick, James Adkins, Ray Shieberb, Joseph Kapusnak, and John Cigan. Currently facing health problems, surgery, treatments, and rehabilitation. Let us continue to pray that God's healing power be with us.

Fr. Bob Karl"

Again, thank you all and please continue, as Father Bob asks us to, praying for all the ill priest, deacons and sisters.

God bless you all!

Prayer for Priests

Lord, we love you, fill the hearts of our priests with your light, touch them with your mercy. Heal their 'woundedness' Lord Jesus in every way. Take away the infirmities of their bodies, and restore to them the fullness of their first love Jesus, you in your holy priesthood. Grant them your peace, the peace that passes all understanding for your names sake.

Help them to be beacons of your light in the days ahead.
As we reflect on your holy mysteries, may we ever grow closer and nearer to you through the Sacramental life of our Church, helped by the love of your priests for You. May we together reflect the truth of your light more clearly to a hurting world. Especially your priests are glad always to be your witnesses.

O Most Holy Theotokos, keep them safe under your protection of your mantle always. Pray for our priests and pray for us,
that we may we all learn from you how to always say yes when God calls, today, tomorrow, and throughout our whole life.

By the power of the Holy Spirit,
Through the intercession of all the saints, especially St. Joseph.

Amen.
