Prayers for…

A childhood friend’s Mother had brain surgery today; the surgery took hours. Cancer.

Another childhood friend and classmate also has brain cancer – for the second time – his wife is expecting their fourth child. The surgery did not get all of the tumour.

A dear friend’s father has surgery within the next hours – cancer again.

And there are others having tests as well.

The sermon this past Sunday was about joy in suffering as a work of the Holy Spirit.

Lord have mercy; Holy Theotokos save us. St. Nectarios please pray for us.

Amen.

Sometimes, I just feel like everyone is going through it at the same time, and I get a bit overwhelmed.

Hugs and prayers to all intentions.
