My friend Angel is still struggling and is very suicidal. She needs as many prayers as she can get. Also, my friend Becky lost her boyfriend to lung cancer only 45 days after he was diagnosed.
Father, please help these poor souls find the support and, where helpful, the treatment necessary to bear these crosses and come to peace in Christ. Mother Mary, pray for them! We ask all this through Christ Crucifed, our Lord. Comfort the afflicted, Father!
