Fr. Ray Ryland experienced a bad head injury today at St. Peter’s Church in Steubenville Ohio. He is in the hospital, Trinity West in serious condition with a head injury. Please pray for him and his family.

Father, thank you for this good priest and saintly man.  Grant him complete healing in body, soul, and spirit and help him and all who love him to offer this suffering and anxiety to you in union with Christ crucified and find grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love.  Give his caregivers grace, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, skill, and the proper technology to assist in his complete healing.  And if it is your will to bring him Home, we ask that you would welcome him into heaven with open arms.  Mother Mary, St. Luke and St. Peter, pray for them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Lisa T., who suffered a fatal stroke a few weeks ago. She was a good friend of many.

Father, may Lisa’s soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace and may all who love her find grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love. Mother Mary, pray for her and all who love her.  We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Finally, please pray for my Mom and all us Sheas. The cancer treatment has been discontinued, so it’s just a matter of time now.  Thanks.
