Prayer and Work of Mercy Request

A reader writes:

Hey Mark, my mother is in the hospital for open heart surgery. Can you please ask everyone to pray for her? I don’t know if you remember her or me for that matter but we all met on several occasions along time ago in Washington. Her name is Hope Klaus. Thank you in advance. There is a gofundme for her hospital bills but at minimum I am just asking for prayers.

Father, hear our prayer for Hope’s complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. Give her caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, skill, creativity, insight, understanding, and the proper technology to assist in her healing. Give her and all who love her grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love. And move the hearts of your people to provide the money necessary to meet her bills. Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for her and for them all. We ask all this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
