Answered Prayers for Sue

Thanks for your prayers for Sue, who was struggling with cancer. She has gone Home.

Here is an excerpt from a letter from her family:

It is with sadness, peace, and joy that we tell you Sue passed away Sunday night, on the feast of Christ the King, November 23, 2008, at 10:00 PM. Sadness in that we will all miss her dearly, peace that she is no longer suffering, and joy that she is smiling down on us from heaven.

May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Please Pray for Kathy

Please pray for Kathy Hashimoto today. Kathy is a homeschooling mom of 2 beautiful girls (ages about 9 and 11). She has a rare form of cancer and 2 very sick kidneys, and is undergoing dialysis.

Today, some homeschooling mothers will be praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet in her home. We are also praying the novena prayer to Blessed Mother Marianne Cope in the hope that she will receive the next miracle that will approve Mother Marianne's canonization.

PLEASE join us in spirit by praying for her complete healing. If you have the devotion to the Divine Mercy, please include her in your intentions.

Mahalo for all your prayers. God bless you abundantly!

Thank You!

A Prayer of Thanks

The reason I wanted to start this blog was as a place where people could not only post prayer requests but give recognition of prayers answered. To that end I suppose I've been a little lax.

Because a prayer of mine has been answered. This was the kind of prayer though that was more like a dream that I kind of would hope maybe God could help along a bit. And he did.

For nearly as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a published author. Last month I got my first publishing contract. So my dream is coming true, my prayer has been answered. In the spring of 2009 my young adult romance novel When Mike Kissed Emma will be published by Wild Rose Press. That's the official book cover there, by the way.

So, thanks God - for a dream come true!

Butterfly Award

Thanks to Jenn for gracing One Came Back with this sweet reward. I know the rules say that the recipient is supposed to pass this reward on to ten other people. Since this is a collaborative blog I'm not going to do that - instead I say that everyone who is a contributor to One Came Back totally deserves this award!

Thanks again Jenn.

Not a Prayer Request, but a Recognition!

hi there, Christine! Because of all the wonderful work of the prayer warriors on this list, I have nominated your Blog here for the coveted Butterfly Award! Please accept with my compliments @ see your name linked here: http://whitewave39.blogspot.com/

Praise Report and Update - Bob and Rose

Hello Everyone:

I had requested prayers for my other b-i-l's parents who were diagnoses with cancer. They are very devoted to St. Therese of Lisieux. Well, Rose the mom went in for surgery around St. Therese's feast day. Well, she does not have cancer! Her family wanted me tohank you so much for your prayers. Thank you!

As for Bob, the dad, the chemotherapy was making him very sick and he stopped taking the 8 pills a day. He has his appetite back and is feeling better. However, we don't know if the cancer is being affected. Please continue to pray for him.

Thanks again.

Prayers For A Daughter...

Ladies *and Gents?!* ~

This was a reply to one of my comments on my Catholic Blog, and while I was reading, it suddenly occurred to me that, not only would it be a good thing for me to pray for this woman's daughter, but it would be a good thing for all of us...

She had posted an Anon. comment to me and when I responded, she wrote back, giving me her name and a very friendly email! :) Don't you just love meeting people through the Internet, esp. when they might need our prayers?!? 

God is so good to set His Providence at just the right "speed"...Jenn.*JMJ* 

PS ~ She reminds me of the woman who pressured the judge in the parable and got exactly what she wanted! ;) ~

"Hi again! I have just been reading some of your previous "musings" and realized that we are probably exactly in the same part of our lives! My husband and I just celebrated our 32nd anniversary Oct. 2nd. We have 3 daughters--two married and one to be married next June. Ages 30, 27 and 21. Our oldest daughter has had Raynaud's Syndrome and Scleroderma for 23 of those 30 years. Yet, she is a wife, mother of 3 little ones and a published author of poetry!! We have been praying for her for so long that, when I heard of this novena, I knew that it was the next step. After 23 years, sometimes I wonder if I should stop asking God to heal her? Is the 23 years His answer?? But, as a mother, I just can't stop hoping--and asking. She is in constant pain, has lost one finger to the illness and all the rest of her fingers and toes are compromised. She never complains. She is a model of faith to all who meet her. She is the strongest woman I know. Maybe I could ask another mom and grandma (i.e. YOU) to say a prayer for her too? Thank you.

Marge"
