From Ann:
Storm the doors of heaven for this family -- please -- St. Thomas is about 75 miles from where I live and was my first placement. Ann

"Yesterday afternoon a three-year old boy was life-flighted to Salt Lake City after collapsing while at play. His mom is on the Vestry at St. Thomas, Dubois, WY and has flown early this morning to Salt lake with her infant daughterl. His father was on the flight with the 3 year old who had heart surgery last summer and seemed to be thriving. They are not sure yet what has happened, but he is in intensive care, on a respirator and in a coma. Just now they were told we may not know the outcome for up to three days. Res was baptized here last year and is a fixture at our altar rail all during the eucharist - mouthing many of the words of liturgy. Please help us pray for this child's healing, and comfort and strength for all the family."
UPDATE from Ann: Prayers for his family. Ann

I just received this email from my friend in Jackson, WY
We just got news that Res died last night.
May Res rest in peace and rise in glory. May God give comfort, consolation, and the peace that passes understanding to all those who love Res. May God enfold them in healing love.
Chere Mimi
ReplyDeletethis morning, with this post of yours I can't help but think what a blessing the internet and blog presences such as your beloved self are in our ability to uphold each other in prayer.
almost first thing this morning, my thoughts and prayer were with Mark+ and his mom Anne, and now through your very original ministry and presence we can be there for Res, his family and their priest.
a whole new meaning to 'blessed'
merci milles-fois chere Mimi,

Cher David, thank YOU. I look at posting the prayer requests as a ministry, one that I did not envision when I started my blog. It evolved on its own, and, it's become quite important to me. Think of it! Prayers from around the world! They've been a great comfort to me when I've needed them.
ReplyDeletePrayers for Anne (and Mark) and the whole family now in Salt Lake are ascending. Your prayers for my cousin Lisa Kay were very much a comfort to me when I asked for them.
ReplyDeletePrayers rising Downunder for Res who is in God's loving care and his family who are in need of so much comfort.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Such a rough Christmastide for so many. This parish is also full of tragedy, 'though the subjects are somewhat older.
ReplyDelete"Mothering Jesus, when you left the warm heavens for this cold earth, you came assuring us that, from beginning through end, you know us and are with us in all ways; we pray you, bless and gather the children under your wings; nestle them and welcome them, joyous in your cradling arms."
Silly, Ann, I know, but if it helps, there it is. If not, please just go ahead and spit.
Best...
It does help Scott and I will spit too
ReplyDeleteAnn,
ReplyDeleteGood, good!
