I please ask that my boyfriend, Danny, and I can fix things in our relationship and stop having our break and that we get back and work on the problems we have together and not be upset about things. I please ask for him to understand that we can work on things together and that we both trust each other in knowing we will try. Also I ask that we both forgive each other for trying to be petty with each other. I please ask for our relationship to not just go back to normal but be better and that we can keep growing and be our best selves together with God walking us in our relationship and our future together in marriage and having a family.

Please pray for Divine Intervention for complete healing for Frank Marinello who is in the intensive care unit and his heart, lungs and kidneys are failing, and for his wife and son who are not allowed to accompany him in the Hospital due to Covid-19 restrictions. That our Lord and the blessed Mother would watch over, and protect him, and guide his Doctors and Nurses to do what's best for him. That they would transfer him to a specialized hospital, and allow his family to accompany him. Thanks.

A couple updates…Trey over the COVID and went to school. Gerald, the 10-year-old going through chemo treatment had some good news, a recap of what his mom said: His tests have come back good, he went on a 2-mile walk, despite being tired, his recovery was really good and was ready to go again. Gerald is excited because his hair is growing back to and he has gained back all the weight he lost and also put on some more. PRAISE GOD for the progress of Trey and Gerald. Heidi from MN had a difficult choice to make between more chemo treatments or surgery and has through prayer and discerning decided to stick with the chemo. Continued prayers needed for Emi. Please pray for continued progress and healing for all and that Heidi’s treatment will yield positive results for her. Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary we are grateful and look to You to hear our prayers. Thank you.

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!

Update on my brother Flory’s wife Jackie. She died last night. While Jackie suffered over 20 years, my brother Flory was her caregiver throughout. May Jackie Rest In Peace and may Flory find peace in knowing that Jackie is now out of pain and walking around with Jesus and Mary. Would like prayers for my son Justin, whose friend’s Uncle was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Prayers for me and my wife Judi and family as we celebrate our Marriage of 51 years today in a culture where union between and man and woman, let alone for this length of time is taboo. We are very Blessed and are Grateful to God for all the Blessings He has bestowed on us, through the good and the bad times. Thank You Jesus and Your Mother Mary and the Holy Family of which we Consecrate our family to.

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.

Here are updates on Gerald and Danny James. This is what Gerald’s mom said regarding his surgery: I heard back from the oncologist today. The tumor that they removed yesterday is all dead and scar tissue. This is great news! He still has chemo starting Thursday for 7 days and then we’ll monitor closely for 18 months, but we are hopeful that we can move on to more happy activities. Danny James' surgery to put in ear tubes went well yesterday & he was discharged home {Praise God!}. Please pray for their continued and complete healing and for relief from discomfort due to the surgery and for their family and friends. Also pray for Jordyn, a college freshman who has COVID 19 and sick.
