Please Pray...

...for my niece, Donna, who will have surgery today for breast cancer,

...and for Bishop Mark Andrus of the Episcopal Diocese of California who will have surgery for prostate cancer. Bishop Marc' wrote a beautiful meditation titled One Bread, One Body on the day that he learned the results of his biopsy.

Before an Operation

Almighty God our heavenly Father, graciously comfort your servants Donna and Marc in their suffering, and bless the means made use of for their cure. Fill their hearts with confidence that, though at times they may be afraid, they yet may put their trust in you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

UPDATE: Donna's surgery is not until Wednesday. I made a mistake, but God promised me that all the prayers already prayed will count toward the surgery on Wednesday. How could I get this wrong? I am sorry.

  1. Of course.

    Holy Luke pray with us for guidance of her healers, Holy Raphael who has healed, pray with us for her healing.

    FWIW
