Glory be to Jesus Christ!!

Brothers and Sisters--

My daughter has begun, at the young age of 29, to have symptoms of severe arthritis in both her hands. Recently she has experienced painful swelling of her hands and a severe aching in her joints. Please keep her in your prayers.

St. Nektarios, holy physician of souls and bodies, intercede with the Lord for an easing of this malady of Rachel's. Amen.

Bob

Dear Bob,

As I am about to enter Holy Lent, with great humility and love, I will pray for your dear daughter Rachel's healing
for the entire period.

I offer you (and Rachel) these websites for foods that help fight the inflammation which bring this on:

This one is particularly good and informational:

May the good Lord, through the intercessions of the great healer, St. Nektarios, come to Rachel's aid and alleviate the pain and swelling and the inflammation which causes this terrible condition in one so young. Kyrie Eleison!

The offspring of Selyvria and the guardian of Aegina,
the true friend of virtue who appeared in the last days,
we faithful honor thee as a Godly servant of Christ,
for thou pourest forth healings of all kinds for those who piously cry out:
Glory to Christ who glorified thee
Glory to Him who made thee wondrous
Glory to Him who worketh healings for all through thee! AMEN.

In Christ,
Alice

Lord Jesus touch the hands and heart of your handmaiden, remove the inflammation from her body, clean the bones, speak peace to her heart and spirit. Our Mother most Holy, you understand her pain and suffering, comfort her as only Our Mother can. Thank you!

Prayers for Rachel's healing from this disease and her restoration to full and active health.
