Please take a moment to hold in your thoughts and prayers the brother-in-law of Jim's friend, Tom. His name is Monsignor Larry Hogan of the Arch Diocese of Vienna. He endured a four-hour surgery this week to explore a cancerous spot on his lung. The surgeon reported that the surgery went well.
Larry holds his PhD from the University of Jerusalem and was for many years the Rector/President of the International Theological Institute in Trumau, Austria, a papal undergraduate/graduate college. The original orientation of the institute was studies of the family and its sustainment as an institution. He has done much to promote the family, one project of ITI being work with the then new independent Ukrainian government to develop family friendly policies and laws that would promote families and having children.
We have two intercessors upon whom we may call for Monsignor Larry: St. Peregrine, the patron saint of cancer patients; and St. Bernardine of Siena, the patron saint of respiratory illnesses.
I offer this:
St. Bernardine of Siena, you were healed of respiratory illness and preached the love and mercy of God everywhere you went.
St. Bernardine of Siena, you were healed of respiratory illness and preached the love and mercy of God everywhere you went.
I come to you now seeking your prayers for Larry and all who suffer with respiratory illnesses.
Plead their cases in unison with Mary, the Mother of God, and seek healing for them if that is God’s holy will.
Pray, dear saint, that they suffer with joy, persevere with hope, and that they join their afflictions with Jesus’ for the salvation of souls.
I ask your intercession on their behalf in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love, Patty
