Prayer Request: Joan Pruitt & Bridget Calamari

Would you please join me today and begin to pray for all of the sick that have asked for prayers. Please add these two people to your prayers. I received this email this morning:

I am requesting that you all keep in your prayers 2 very dear and wonderful friends who are suffering terribly at this time. The first, Joan Pruitt, has a severely debilitating back and neck condition which keeps her wheelchair-bound for the most part. She is a diabetic and will be undergoing surgery on her neck on Feb 21st (my deceased mother's birthday--a good sign!) and I would like to ask that, on that early morning you recite the prayer I always say on the occasion of a difficult surgery. Please ask your guardian angel to fly to the tomb of Padre Pio and request his intervention--that he will ask Jesus to guide the hands of the surgeon for Joan Pruitt. The surgeon's name is Marc Arginteanu.

Secondly, a dear friend, Bridget Calamari, who has been battling cancer for at least 7 years and doing well, has just learned that the cancer, despite aggressive treatments, has spread to her lymphatic system.

The Lord healed so many with His very touch. But above all, people were healed according to their faith. Let us pray for the Lord's forgiveness and mercy as well. For it was through sin that death and suffering entered the world.

"Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner"
