Prayer Request from Shan Foti: Prayers for Chuy and Hilda

This is from Shan Foti. Thank you so much for your prayers and God bless you and your loved ones, Teri & Michael (see below)



Hello Michael and Teri

I met a woman named Santa Maria.  She told me her Aunt Chuy was very sick with breast cancer back in MX.  She was bolstered to know that there are Prayer Warriors at St. Agatha's (patron saint of breast cancer) who could lift up Chuy in prayer so that she may experience comfort and peace.

Santa Maria also asked that we give prayer for her mother Hilda who also lives in MX, as she was recently diagnosed with uterine cancer and will have her first round of radiation soon.  

Thank you to everyone.

Be well,
Shan


St. Agatha Prayer
St. Agatha, woman of valor, from your own suffering we have been moved to ask your prayers for those of us who suffer from breast cancer. We place the name before you, and ask you to intercede on their behalf. From where you stand in the health of life eternal- all wounds healed, and all tears wiped away- pray for Chuy and Hilda, and all of us. Pray God will give us His holy benediction of health and healing. And, we remember you were a victim of torture and that you learned, first hand, of human cruelty and inhumanity. We ask you to pray for our entire world. Ask God to enlighten us with a "genius for peace and understanding." Ask Him to send us His Spirit of Serenity, and ask Him to help us share that peace with all we meet. From what you learned from your own path of pain, ask God to give us the Grace we need to remain holy in difficulties, not allowing our anger or our bitterness to overtake us. Pray that we will be more peaceful and more charitable. And from your holy pace in our mystical body, the Church, pray that we, in our place and time will, together, create a world of justice and peace. Amen.
