Sterph I will continue to pray but also believe it would be wonderful if you can have a priest come to anoint your husband and give Holy viaticum before his surgery tomorrow. If this is impossible before his surgery than after surgery would be just as efficacious, I believe. I read somewhere that when we receive Our Lord Jesus in Holy Communion, we are receiving "the one and only Holy and Divine Blood transfusion". The precious Blood of Jesus washes our blood. The healing of our soul is accomplished, while God also nourishes our Body. Precious Blood of Jesus save Sterph's husband, as well as us, and the whole world. Amen
Holy and Divine Blood transfusion. I have never thought of the Holy Eucharist in this way but it makes so much sense! May God bless you abundantly for sharing this, Josephite.
We are still waiting on an OR room to open up. He is miserable. He was offered the Eucharist today and declined because he is NPO. I told him next time just receive a small piece. I wasn't there to advise. Thank you all for your continued prayers.
Oh Sterph I am so concerned for you. Praying for you now as well as your husband. Prayers are going up. I made a visit to the Adoration Chapel and put in a plea on your behalf. May Our Lord bring healing and consolation to you both.
He made it through. They repaired what needed to be repaired. Will see if everything stabilizes now. I hope so. We are both exhausted. Thank you for your prayers.
All the prayers on this forum support me in a way that is more substantial than the emotional support offered here by others. I rely on it because I know it actually has power and purpose. It means more. It matters more. I truly appreciate it from the depths of my soul. Thank you.
Glad things are in tight direction now. Keeping your husband and yourself in prayers and at Mass tomorrow- on feastday of St. Joseph. Will pray he intercede for you both.
