Prayer Requests

A reader writes:

You and your readers were kind enough to offer prayers for my wife when she was going through open heart surgery in November (from which she has recovered wonderfully and is happy and healthy, thanks be to God). Now we’ve had another piece of bad news and I hope we can ask for prayers once more.

Our American Eskimo dog, Snowy, was sick with what we thought was Lyme disease, but is actually a tick-borne nephritis that destroys the kidneys. It can only be treated, we are told; there is no cure, and she probably has only a year to live. Snowy has been part of our family for 6 years, and my wife and I are very sad and anxious. We’ve both made our vows to St. Francis, but of course, all help is appreciated.

Father, thank you for healing this man’s wife through your Son! Hear our prayer for Snowy’s healing through Christ our Lord and the prayers of our Lady and St. Francis.
