Please pray for my father who has been diagnosed with cancer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear our prayer for his complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. \u00a0Give his caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, understanding, skill, creativity, insight, and the proper technology to assist in that healing, as well as the providing the funding to pay for it. Give him and all who love him grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love. \u00a0Mother Mary, St. Luke and St. Peregrine, pray for them. \u00a0We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/p>\n

Would you mind posting this? \u00a0I am trying to get the word out. \u00a0Our friend Stephen is a teacher in Uganda who is caring for 31 orphans and street children. \u00a0They are currently paying rent in a dangerous neighborhood, but cannot move into the finished home until the security fence is finished (this is required by the local government). \u00a0I\u2019d greatly appreciate it!<\/p>\n
