On this day where celebrate Mary’s Birthday on this Tuesday, I ask for Mary’s intercession for my grandson Trey who was diagnosed with scoliosis a while back. Although he has been wearing case to help correct the curvature of his spine, his most recent examination, it was determined that surgery was necessary. The surgery will be scheduled later this year. Dear Mother Mary we pray that he will be completely healed and the surgery not be necessary, if it be God’s Will. In Jesus Name I pray. Happy Birthday Mary! I Love YOU!

My prayer request today is not only for prayers, but also Masses for my brother Flory’s wife Jackie who (as been described to me) has just a matter of time…. Jackie suffered a stroke some 20 years ago and my brother has devotedly taken care of Jackie and family since then. She remains at home under Hospice Care. Peace and strength to the entire family. In Jesus Name I pray.

Dear Blessed Mother Mary we are grateful to you. Lori still has some spots on the brain, and we continue our prayers for Lori for a complete cure and clearing of the spots.
