Prayer Requests

A PRAYER FOR A SICK CHILD

St. Gerard, who, like the Saviour, loved children so tenderly and by your prayers freed many from disease and even death, listen to us who are pleading for our sick child. We thank God for the great gift of our son/daughter and ask Him to restore our child to health if such be His holy will. This favour, we beg of you through your love for all children and mothers.
Amen. 

Thank you dear Lord Jesus, for the gift of our children. You have graced us
beyond our comprehension. Please guide us in the care of these Treasures. Give
us wisdom to make the best decisions for them. Give us patience and charity so
that we can advocate for your precious ones. Give us fortitude, so that we will
not give up before it is time. Give us peace when our hearts our troubled with
worry. Bless our children with all that they need in this life.
And for our children who have gone to be with You, thank you for holding them
in eternity as tenderly as we held them on earth.

I asked our families this week to let me know if they would like to add a prayer request for their child. Many parents responded to my request. I will list all the requests below but I would like to acknoweledge one request first.

Sweet Presley's mom had asked for prayers for her son here is what she wrote..."Presley is trisomy 13 and is in the hospital. He's 16 weeks old and down to 4lbs. The doctors gave up on him and he's fought so hard but with no one helping in his fight his poor body can't do it alone. Please pray for peace and no more suffering."...Sadly baby Presley gained his wing before I was able to publish this weeks blog post. I am now asking that you prayer for his family for comfort and peace as they embark on the next step of their journey.
