• If you could all keep praying, I would really appreciate it. God is really testing me and I pray I passed the test. You see, I am very squeamish. Ever since my illness, several years ago, I internalize everyone’s pain and it makes me terribly sad and sick to my stomach. I didn’t use to have such a weak stomach, but now I find it hard to clean up after people.  Basil has been suffering all through the night and still this morning, he is miserable, as is Fr.- last night and still this morning both of them are so nauseous and dizzy. Nicholas, Jonah and Maria~Angelica are through the worst of it (I hope, because we thought Basil had been through all this last week and he was now better) but poor Fr. and Basil are still suffering- if you can, please remember them in your prayers today. 

  BUT MUCH MORE importantly please, please keep praying for baby Vivian. Thank you to the dear, thoughtful friend, of Kristen and Peter’s who is was so kind to send me this link to the webpage set up for baby Vivian so we can follow her progress and continue to pray for her and her parents. I can’t imagine what they are going through. I was so HAPPY to see  Kristen’s smiling face!!! Baby Vivian is so BEAUTIFUL with  a full head of dark hair.  Please keep praying for this precious young couple and their little girl!

  Prayers for a Sick Person
  

  Heavenly Father, physician of our souls and bodies, Who have sent Your only-begotten Son and our Lord Jesus Christ to heal every sickness and infirmity, visit and heal also Your servant (name) from all physical and spiritual ailments through the grace of Your Christ. Grant him (her) patience in this sickness, strength of body and spirit, and recovery of health. Lord, You have taught us through Your word to pray for each other that we may be healed. I pray, heal Your servant (name) and grant to him (her) the gift of complete health. For You are the source of healing and to You I give glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
  
  O Lord our God, Who by a word alone did heal all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every sickness and infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to Your servant (name) and cure him (her) of every sickness of which he (she) is grieved; and send down upon him (her) Your great mercy, and if it be Your will, give to him (her) health and a complete recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we send up Glory: to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Both now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
