A dear friend of mine just emailed me with news that she has terminal cancer. What started as renal cell carcinoma last May has become liver cancer. She is married with 5 children at home and one in Heaven. Our kids match up in age, and used to go to school together when we lived in Illinois, but we both started homeschooling at about the same time after we moved. They are still homeschooling with the help of a tutor - a gift to have the kids close at this time.
They asking for the intercession of John Paul II using this prayer:
O Holy Trinity,
we thank you for having given to the Church
Pope John Paul II,
and for having made him shine with your fatherly tenderness,
the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love
He, trusting completely in your infinite mercy
and in the maternal intercession of Mary, has shown himself
in the likeness of Jesus the Good Shepherd
and has pointed out to us holiness
as the path to reach eternal communion with You.
Grant us, through his intercession,
according to your will, the grace that we implore,
in the hope that he will soon be numbered among your saints.
Amen.
That he may seek a miracle for KH
