We would appreciate prayers for healing for him. Thank you!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, hear our prayer for Jacob\u2019s complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. \u00a0Give his caregivers grace, compassion, wisdom, counsel, knowledge, skill, creativity, insight, and the proper technology to assist in his healing and giving him and all who love him grace, peace, consolation, strength, faith, hope, and love. \u00a0Especially raise her platelet levels and strengthen her immune system. \u00a0Mother Mary, St. Luke, and St. Peregrine, pray for them. \u00a0We ask this through Christ our Lord. \u00a0Amen!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
