Prayer Request

A reader asks prayer for a relative’s business.

Father, prosper this man’s business through Christ our Lord and the intercession of Mother Mary and St. Joseph.

Another reader writes:

I have a dear friend and brother in Christ, Doug, who is an Evangelical pastor. A young man whom Doug baptized, Ian Hensel, has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Doug has been sending out e-mail updates on Ian’s condition and has asked everyone receiving the updates to pray for Ian’s recovery. Ian recently had surgery, and his doctors reported they were able to remove about half of a walnut-sized tumor. They are hopeful Ian will make further progress. I would like to ask your readers to join with me in praying for Ian.

Father, hear our prayer for his complete healing through Christ our Lord. Give wisdom, skill and compassion to his caregivers and grace, peace, and strength to all who know him. Mother Mary, St. Luke, and St. Peregrine, pray for him and all who love him.
