Prayer Requests, The First One of Them Urgent

A reader writes:

A family that I am acquainted with has a boy who is about 12 years old. He has been ill for a week or two with severe nausea. When his mom took him to the ER early this morning it was discovered that he has a brain tumor. The doctors did a surgery today to remove fluid from his brain and tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. central time they will perform surgery to hopefully remove the tumor. Please pray for his family and doctors. Thank you!

Father, hear our prayer for this boy’s complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. Grant grace, compassion, skill, and knowledge to his caregivers and grace, peace, strength, and hope to all who love him. Mother Mary, St. Luke and St. Peregrine, pray for them. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Friend of my grandparents died recently – Frank Bishoff. Please pray for his soul and for those he leaves behind.

Father, grant Frank eternal light and rest through Christ our Lord. Console all who love him with your grace and peace. Mother Mary, pray for him and all who love him. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
