UPDATE ON AILEEN

Ann, my sister in Christ---Prayer requests continue for Aileen. This young woman is still in a battle, and we know the Lord is with her. This is the latest update from her husband, Mike. My heart goes out to both of them and their two little boys. Christmas blessings to you and those you love---Sally (Aileen and Mike's priest)

"Thanks so very much for all your prayers.The surgery went very well, however there is a problem. The surgeon was disheartened to find that there is a good deal more infection around the pancreas in an area that he had just cleaned out during the surgery on Christmas Eve. Just checked with the nurse this morning, and her white cell count continues to climb. Please, Lord, help this situation with my wife. Please!"---Mike

May God the Father bless you, God the Son heal you, God the Holy Spirit give you strength. May God the holy and undivided Trinity guard your body, save your soul, and bring you safely to his heavenly country; where he lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Pray for Mike and all who love Aileen as they pray, and watch, and wait, and for Sally, as she continues to minister to Aileen and the family.

Sanctify, O Lord, those whom you have called to the study and practice of the arts of healing, and to the prevention of disease and pain. Strengthen them by your life-giving Spirit, that by their ministries the health of Aileen may be promoted and your creation glorified; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
