Could you please ask your readers to pray for my aunt? A growth she recently had removed from her tongue turned out to be cancerous. She will find out later this week how advanced the cancer is and what the planned course of treatment will be. Please pray that this cancer is as least-advanced and least-aggressive as possible, and that my aunt be given the strength and grace to face this hurdle. She lost her husband to cancer four years ago and is feeling pretty down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, grant my reader\u2019s aunt complete healing in body, soul, and spirit and give her caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, understanding, creativity, skill, and the proper technology to assist in her healing. Give her and all who love her grace, peace, strength, consolation, faith, hope, and love. \u00a0Mother Mary, St. Luke, and St. Peregrine, pray for them all. We ask this through Christ our Lord. \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
