Please pray for Gene, an old, old family friend who just had a stroke and will be undergoing surgery soon. He was at one point a near-Olympics-level wrestler but, more enduringly, he's the person for my folks' parish that a lot of small parishes seem to have: the one who is always around, making sure the altar light is lit and everything is just right. He trained me as an altar boy a zillion years ago, and seeing how frail he looked in his Fourth Degree (Knights of Columbus) regalia during a pretty recent Eucharistic procession was one of the things that ended my fence-sitting and got me to go through the Fourth Degree ceremony.
Lord Jesus the "Divine Physician," hear our prayer.
Ora Pro Nobis!
ReplyDeleteI am sure it was the prayers of Gene and his wife that helped bring me back to the church.
