PLEASE PRAY...

Ann Fontaine asks for prayers for her friend Joan's husband, Dale, who had surgery today for a tumor on his pancreas. The biopsy showed cancer, which was discovered early so they are hopeful.

O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers: Mercifully accept our prayers, and grant to your servant Dale the help of your power, that his sickness may be turned into health, and our sorrow into joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please pray for a situation in my family that involves several family members, for healing and for a satisfactory resolution to the problems.

O merciful Father, who has taught us in your holy Word that you do not willingly afflict or grieve your children: Look with compassion upon the sorrows of your servants for whom our prayers are offered. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy, nourish their souls with patience, comfort them with a sense of your goodness, let your face shine upon them, and give them peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
