Holy Spirit Fraternity: Lord Hear Our Prayer

Prayer Requests:
 
Please pray for Joan Boesch, who was a Chaplain at St. Joseph's Manor and has retired to California.  Joan fell and broke her hip.  She has had surgery on her hip and is now in rehab.  Pray for a speedy recovery for her and peace of mind and heart.
 
Pray for Kathy, who will be having breast surgery this coming Thursday.  She has a cyst that the doctor suspects may be cancerous.  Let's pray the test results are benign and she has total restoration of her health.  Thank you.
 
God Bless!

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

I am asking for prayer for my grandson Christopher (9 yrs. old) who has just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease.  You have been praying for his sister (my grand daughter) Callie (5 yrs. old) who was diagnosed with Lyme Disease recently.  Now, Christopher will start on antibiotics also.  Please pray that they may be healed from this disease and have no life threatening symptoms.  Thank you.
God Bless!

> I know I've spoken to several of you today, but bear with me as I repeat the details for everyone. Pat had a CT Scan last night to try to determine where the bleeding was coming from. It did  not show anything conclusive -- no broken ribs, etc. The source of the bleeding seems to be her stomach and a nasal tube is still in place to drain the fluid. It is becoming less and less. Most importantly, at about 1 p.m., they were able to remove the tube from her windpipe after determining that she could breath on her own.  When we left the hospital at 2 p.m., she was in a lot of distress because of the mucous that had accumulated in her throat and was being given breathing treatments and suctioning as needed.  Hopefully, that will improve this afternoon.
>
> So, our prayers continue to hold Pat up. She remains in the ICU and there are many additional obstacles, so keep the prayers coming.  Tim has been remarkable through it all, keeping all the details in his head, sharing information with the doctors and nurses involved with her care. He's a great advocate for Pat.

My son, Tim, has requested prayers for his friend Robbie who is very sick and in ICU with an infection. 
Thank you.
God Bless!
