I have not heard anything since then.

No, I was hoping that you did.

I'm very glad to be able to report that John is back home and taking it easy, hopefully. He's grateful to everyone for all of the prayers that have been offered for him. Please keep him in your prayers, as he recuperates.

Glory to God!! I will certainly keep him in prayer for his recuperation!

Kyrie Eleison! Lord God have mercy on your servant John, and through the prayers of the Theotokos. St. John the Baptist, and St. Nektarios, please bring him back to complete and total health. Amen.

As we start the new week, I pray that the healing hand of our Lord, through the loving intercessions of His Saints and most Holy Mother, as well as those here, will help our Administrator, John in his illness.

Also, wishing a blessed, safe, healthy, and good week to all...

Humbly,
Alice

Joe,

Thanks for asking. I had intended to post something last night, but got waylaid. I spoke with John on Friday in PM. He's feeling a bit better, taking somewhat more in the way of nourishment - though his diet continues to be restricted by what his system is able to tolerate, and he's still needing a lot of rest, as his energy level really got sapped over that month plus.

Bottom line, he's improving but it remains a slow recovery process that won't/can't be rushed. Continued prayers for his full return to health are still most welcomed.

Many years,

Neil

Good news indeed, and much, much better than that of a fortnight ago.

Prayers continue!

John is still in our prayers. We lit a newly blessed candle for him last week. Any update on his condition?
