This morning I received news about this precious young angel. Abby is the daughter of an old friend of mine and her brain tumor has recently returned. The first time was in 2005 and now once again this precious thing will have to go through some major treatment. I ask all of you to please add Abby and her family to your prayers - they need all the prayer support they can get. These are two prayers that may help if you are unable to find the words.
St. Gerard, who, like the Savior, loved children so tenderly and by your prayers freed many from disease and even death, listen to us who are pleading for this sick child, Abby. We thank God for the great gift of this child and ask Him to restore her to health. This favor, we beg of you through your love for all children and mothers. Amen.
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ. Rest your weary ones. Bless your dying ones. Soothe your suffering ones. Pity your afflicted ones. Shield your joyous ones. And for all your love's sake. Amen. Saint Augustine
May the angels surround and hold Abby and her family close.
