Blessings from God in the midst of grief: Daniel Silva

Dear Prayer Warriors,

Thank you for your prayers for the repose of the soul of Daniel Silva, and for his mother and family. She was having great difficulty in dealing with his funeral arrangements and did not know where to turn for the large amount of money for his burial. Our friend and fellow Prayer Warrior, Joc, told her to pray about the situation, and just five minutes later, she called back with amazing news: She remembered that years ago she had purchased property in the cemetery and it was still available; in the section dedicated to St. Patrick! A miracle on St. Patrick's day that was truly an answer to her prayers. Everything was taken care of and her son could be respectfully be laid to rest. Thanks be to God!

And thank you for your prayers and God bless each of you and your families,

In Christ,
Teri & Michael


original prayer request from March 12th:
Dear Prayer Warriors,

Please lift up the family of Daniel Silva, "Danny," who was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting earlier today while sitting in a car. He was a very nice young man, just 18 years old, who lived in the neighborhood of St Agatha's and brightened up everyone's day with his beautiful smile. Please pray for the repose of his soul and especially for his grieving mother and family. This is so hard for them and things will never be the same in their lives. Thank you so much and God bless you and your families.

With the love of Christ,

Teri & Michael 

In Loving Memory
Almighty God, through the death of your Son on the cross, you have overcome death for us. Through his burial and resurrection from the dead you have made the grave a holy place and restored us to eternal life. We pray for those who died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living and the dead, may those who faithfully believed in you on earth praise you for ever in the joy of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
