Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, 1917
Please remember in your prayers my friend Michael R. who is undergoing brain surgery today. Thanks. (Michael has been a regular reader of my blogs from the beginning.)
I want to thank you and your readers for the prayers. I am humbled by your generosity. My surgery went rather well. I seem to be mosly ok; not doing anything too inappropriately. I have a lot of pain, but I can deal with physical pain. I will know more about the path ahead in a couple of weeks when the staples are removed from my head and all of the biopsies are complete. It sounds like more radiation and chemo. I had a good visit with a priest while in the hospital. He seems to have sought me out. I think some prayers were guiding him along. It was a rather profound experience for me. The question remains, why do I keep beating such odds?
Michael! I'm so pleased and thank God things went well - yes - many prayers have been prayed for you by many people - so it is no wonder Our Lord sent a special priest to console you - I'm so happy. I keep praying for your recovery and will post an update later.
Big hug - if only I could be there and share your pain meds - I'm so kidding! I'll try to share your pain instead. God bless you.

Terry, you can count on a Rosary and other prayers for Michael. God bless and keep him.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your prayers everyone - I only hear from Michael when he comments - so I will let you know if I get any message on his condition.
