I have been dealing for several years with chronic pain. Some treatments that have provided relief are only temporary and my doctors indicate that I cannot continue them indefinitely. I am now being referred to a comprehensive spine center. Please pray that these doctors\/surgeons are able to find and effectively fix what appears to be a spine with multiple degenerative issues. I know this is a major issue for many people and I certainly have gained a greater sense of empathy for folks in similar situations. Prayers for me and my family would be greatly appreciated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for this man\u2019s complete healing through Jesus Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for him.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to ask for prayers for my cousin and her son. My cousin is 44 years old, and is battling pancreatic cancer (stage 4) and is in a second round of treatment. Her 20 month old son, who has Down\u2019s Syndrome, has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. It\u2019s not uncommon for them to be in different hospitals at the same time for treatment. Please pray for them, her husband, and children as they deal with this. God\u2019s will be done\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for a double miracle of healing for this woman and her child and her child, and for grace, peace and strength for all who love them. Mother Mary, St. Luke, and St. Peregine, pray for them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
