A reader writes:<\/p>\n

A friend of mine (a former atheist who is converting to Russian
Orthodox) has just learned that her grandmother has serious lung cancer. Could you ask your readers to pray for her and her family?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear our prayer for this woman that she would be healed through your Son Jesus to the glory of your Name or that, if it is her time, that you would grant her the grace of a happy death and eternal life through the same Christ our Lord. Grant her comfort, strength, peace, and grace in her trial. Grant skill and compassion to her caregivers and grace, strength, comfort and peace to all who love her, through Jesus Christ. Mother Mary, St. Luke and St. Peregrine, pray for her and for all us sinners at the hour of our death. Amen.<\/p>\n

Another reader writes:<\/p>\n

I have another prayer request for you. I am going for major back surgery at the end of July. The surgery is for a herniated lumbar disk (the product of a nasty car accident), and if everything works out, I should have a major reduction in pain. I\u2019m 25 and I have been in constant pain for years now; I\u2019ve been fighting the insurance company for this surgery for a year and a half, so by the grace of God it\u2019s finally worked out. However, since it is major surgery, there is still a certain amount of risk attached, and any prayers you and your readers could offer would be hugely appreciated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, grant through your Son Jesus Christ that this surgery would go perfectly so that your child will be set from the bondage of pain to do your will and give glory to you. Grant skill and compassion to her caregivers and peace, grace and comfort to her and all who love her. Mother Mary and St. Luke, pray for her and her complete healing.<\/p>\n
