Shlomo Lkhoolkhoon,

As many of you know I am a believer who has a difficult cross to care right now.

A fellow Christian (a former monk who converted to Wisconsin Synod Lutheranism) told me in early December he had cancer for the second time. I told him that I would pray to St. Sharbel for him. (St. Sharbel is well known for healing people). Well I prayed to St. Sharbel as well as Blessed Leonid Feodorov and Blessed Karl, last Emperor of Austria-Hungary.

I pray to Blessed Leonid because I believe the Russian and Byelorussian Catholic Church should be complete Churches with hierarchs; and I pray to Blessed Karl because I am a monarchist and always believed that it was a mistake to break up the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Well he went in for tests on 22 Dec., with results due 4 Jan. Ray went in on the 4th to get his results. The doctor looked at his chart and asked him to take new tests that would be done in 45 minutes. Well after that time the doctor told him that there was no error on his tests. He when from 8.1 out of a 9.9 scale to 1.84. The doctor told him that the results where impossible.

My friend has told me he is willing to let his doctor be interviewed to confirm what he told me. I hope this is confirmed because two great men I love will become saints.

Please pray for these Blessed men and my friend. As always I can use your prayer.

Fush BaShlomo Lkhoolkhoon,
Yuhannon (Shawn)

That is a beautiful story, dear Shawn..thank you for sharing it...It seems that your intercessory prayers are also much beloved and heard by God, as well as the saints Sharbel and Blessed Feodorov and Blessed Karl...

Glory to God for your friends' miracle!

May God bless you and hear your prayers. May He, through the intercessions of St. Xenia of Petersburg, the homeless wanderer and fool for Christ, take care of you and keep you.

Blessed Theophany to you,
I will keep you in prayer,

My dear brother and friend, as always, you remain in my prayers.

Prayers of thanksgiving for the favors granted to your friend by God
