aka Friar David


As many of us here know, Friar David has cancer - and has had for some time.

He has had two surgeries since the start of December and is still hospitalised.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Prayers for our dear friend, brother, and long-time member here, the Lord's servant, Friar David, that the Lord rid him of this terrible disease, restore him to health, and grant him many years.

I am currently at a Nursing/Rehab facility out side of Bowie, MD.

I had developed an abscess in my pelvis which was removed and I was also given a colostomy.

Feel free to send me private messages if you want.

My order was nice enough to provide me with internet access while I am here.

Thanks for the prayers and keep them coming please.

Dear David,

May the mercy of God be with you in your suffering, and may His most Holy Mother bring you comfort.

In Christ,
Alice

Lord our God, the Physician of our souls and bodies, look down upon Thy servant David, and cure him of all infirmities of the flesh, in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, with Whom Thou art blessed, together with Thy Most Holy, Gracious, and Life-giving Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

I visited Friar David today. He is doing OK and looked very good. If he continues recovering at the current rate he should be out of rehab in a few weeks.

Prayers continue!

We pray that You, O Lord, will protect and bless Your servant, DavidB, and bring him back to fullness of life, and fill his heart with Your almighty Spirit. For this we pray You, hear, and have mercy on DavidB, always, now and ever and forever. Amen.
