Prayers Needed

"May you know always and everywhere the protection of her, through whom you have been found worthy to receive the author of life." ~ Solemn blessing, on Feast Day of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

I did not make it to the Feast Day Mass today. This day did not turn out as expected. Early in the day, my cousin sent me a Facebook message in response to my phone call the night before. I had been worried about her dad, my uncle, for about a week now. Her news was not good.

After responding back to her, I called my mom and sister and emailed my brother. My grandmother, my uncle's mom, had a strong devotion to Mary. If anyone wishes to pray for Mary's intercession for healing for my uncle, that would be appreciated. Mostly, though, I pray for the protection of my uncle from the harm that cancer does to one's body, mind, and spirit. It is hard to be so far away from them at this time. My aunt is, naturally, devastated. My uncle has fought a good fight up until now but the the options seem to be limited now.

Being assumed, or "falling asleep" in the old vocabulary,would be a lovely way to go, I think.

Peace,
