Prayer Request

Can I ask for prayers for a college classmate of mine? Here is his story:

and an update from his parents:

Please join us in prayer for Paul Coakley, his wife (who’s 7 months pregnant with their 4th child), the doctors and family.  Here’s an update…

Dear Friends,

Our son Paul’s condition has gotten a lot more complicated.  He has a blood clot in his leg, a previously undetected hole in his heart, three small brain tumors, and has experienced two minor strokes.  Every avenue of treatment carries serious risk to his life.  Tomorrow (January 13), they will attempt to close the hole in his heart, a surgery which is very risky but necessary.  Subsequently, the other issues will be addressed.

Due to the aggressiveness of this cancer and the aforementioned conditions, we are fairly certain that medical science, while helpful, cannot heal Paul without God’s performing a miracle.

So we ask you, please, to join us in praying fervently for this miracle.  As always, thank you for your prayers.  

Love,

Joe and Kathy (Paul’s parents)

Please ‘Share’ and join us in prayer for the success of the surgery and healing.

Father hear our prayer through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sts. Luke, Peregrine, and Gerard Majella. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Father hear our prayer for his complete heat
