I understand (from another forum) that Hieromonk Ambrose has just been diagnosed with a cancer. Please pray for courage, strength in his battle.
Kyrie Eleison!

Prayers for my dear friend and brother, the Lord's servant, Father Ambrose. May his doctors be guided in his diagnosis and treatment by the Unmercenary Physicians, the Sainted Cosmas and Damian. May the Lord look with mercy and kindness on His devoted priest and cure him of this dreaded scourge.

An update on Father Ambrose:
He had tests done yesterday by the respiratory specialist and anaesthesiologist to determine whether his heart is strong enough to withstand surgery to remove his gall bladder. (To explain, Father has been on a waiting list for a heart transplant for some time prior to this recent diagnosis. His cancer is of the gall bladder, a rare and dangerous manifestation of the disease.)
He expects to learn the recommendations resulting from the tests in mid-week, when he is also scheduled to meet with the surgeons.
Please keep our brother and my dear friend, Father Ambrose, in your prayers.

Prayers continue for Fr Ambrose who is meeting this latest problem with his usual fortitude . I quote from an e-mail from him earlier this month I ask your prayers. I firmly believe that, unimportant as I am, God knew from all eternity that this moment was coming. He knows not just this moment but the moment of my death. All the same, from all eternity He has also known your prayers and how He will act with me if you pray.

I want to express my gratitude and say how touched I am by your concern and how much I value your prayers.
I received the news only 10 days ago, totally unexpected. I've been living with the daily expectation for the last 6 years that a "fatal cardiac event" is going to occur; learning of the cancer has not really brought on any more emotional stress than I have already. I am addicted to the beauty of this world, to every new Spring, but they say that Spring "up there" is much nicer.
Your prayers are deeply appreciated now and they'll be appreciated very much more later.

Bless, Father,
My unworthy prayers to the Saints of our common heritage, asking that they intercede before the Holy Throne and that God grant to you, His faithful priest, many more years in His service here.

I'm adding my prayers for Father's well-being as well. The lampada before our icon of the Panaghia wil be lit for his intentions today.

My unworthy prayers dear Father to our most blessed Mother of God for her motherly intercessions on your behalf: for comfort, for courage, for strength, for many graces from Heaven, and for health.
Kyrie Eleison!
In Christ our Lord,
Alice
