Prayers from Holy Spirit Fraternity

Hi ladies
 
My Friend Sherrie who almost died last year due to an infection that ran rampid through her body had to go to the emergency room this morning because she has not been feeling well and her surgeon insisted she come. Her sister Tefta just told me she is sleeping and her blood pressure is very low. We are all very worried about her and I am asking you to please pray for her and add her to your prayer lines. 
 
Thank you
 
Love
Kim

Hi Pat, I just had a call from dear Lorraine Young's daughter.  Lorraine is in Bridgeport Hospital and in Intensive Care, and not doing too well.  She is having difficulty breathing.  She believes her time is limited.  The one thing she wanted was her Franciscan community to pray for her.  So thank you for putting her on the Franciscan prayer line.  I will put her on my prayer lines so that she is well covered.  God bless her, and God bless you, and thank you.  Love, Barb

A "friendly reminder" to pray for my sister-in-law Judi Heile who is battling breast cancer.  She will have surgery today in Cincinnati.
Also, I ask for prayers for my sister-in-law, Pat who has had a long battle with lymphoma/leukemia and has been in the hospital for over a week now.  She is not doing well and is in the final stages of this disease.
Pray for successful surgery for Judi and peace of mind and heart for her, Pat, and their families and friends as they undergo their medical challenges and inner strength.  Thank you.
God Bless!
PAX - Pat Heile, OFS
