Members of my parish, Lee and Tanya, need prayers today. Their son, Sam, became very sick with appendicitis and he is having surgery at 8am. Lee and Tanya are very scared, and would appreciate as many prayers as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer that the surgery went well and that Sam makes a full recovery. Grant skill to his doctors and peace, strength and consolation to Lee and Tanya and all who love him through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for him.<\/p>\n
