Could you post a prayer request this night? The daughter of the best friend of my sister-in-law is struggling to survive. She was born with a heart problem, and is now 18 years old. She had to undergo surgery a couple nights ago. While it looked promising at first, things have taken a downward turn. Her heart stopped earlier today, but they were able to revive her. Right now she is hooked up to machines keeping her alive. It could come down to a heart transplant, but they have to get her stable. Her name is Rachel. Her parents and family and friends are all praying and obviously in need of their own prayers. If you could pass this along it would be appreciated. Thanks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for this young woman that she would be granted a miracle of healing through the intercession of St. Jude, St. Rita, St. Luke and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Give skill to her caregivers and grace, strength, peace and consolation to all who love her. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/p>\n
