Prayer Request from Teresa Gunther: Needing prayers..

This is from Teresa Gunther. Thank you so much for your prayers and God bless you and yours, Teri & Michael (see below)

Hi, Michael and Teri.....I just had a phone call from my  daughter telling me that her sister-in-law, Patricia has been diagnosed with breast cancer.  The diagnosis has been devastating to all the family and I told my daughter that we would be sending prayers for good news.  Patricia is a single woman and has always been active in the church, but she says she doesn't want to suffer and would rather die.  She is in need of lots of hope and faith right now.   We know our God is so very powerful and never leaves us alone in our need.  

Thank you to all who join us in the prayers for so many.    We are truly blessed.

Prayer for Healing
Lord, look upon Patricia with eyes of mercy, may Your healing hand rest upon her, may Your life giving powers flow into every cell of her body and into the depths of her soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring her to wholeness and strength for service in Your Kingdom. Amen.

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 Patricia, 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.
