Prayer Request
Ueriah

Posted on 03/18/2017 2:40:57 PM PDT by Ueriah

Hey everyone.

I'm kind of going through a hard time right now. I have a history of really nasty cancer in my family and I just got the results back from an ultrasound and there is a mass growing in the center of my body right under my sternum.

I go on Monday for to schedule the CT scan to see what I'm dealing with. I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping a brave face up in front of my family but I'm an anxious mess. I was born Catholic but have since lapsed but I do try to be a good person.

Please keep me in your prayers.

You will be in my prayers; I can understand your fears. May God grant you the faith to overcome your fears and whatever else is wrong.

If you decide to unlapse, after you go to Confession, you could ask the priest for the Sacrament of Anointing, the church-authorized one, not some charismatic substitute.

When I had a problem years ago, I noticed that a many Catholics didn't seem to know the difference between the authentic sacrament and the charismatic one or other substitute. And they seemed hesitant to avail themselves of it.

This girl I knew went to a charismatic anointing and came down with such severe asthma she was in serious trouble. She came to me in her distress, not that she expected me to know what to do. Since it was our church priest that was doing the charismatic business, I suggested she go to a (at the time) more orthodox parish and ask the priest for the Sacrament of Anointing, the church-approved one. I saw her a couple days later, and she said "It worked!" It could have been other things at play there, but her faith kicked in.

I also believed in St. Peregrine and plenary indulgences. And medical procedures just work sometimes.

I'm lapsed, too. I do believe in the sacraments.

I will pray for you, Ueriah.

Even if you are lapsed in your denomination, you are always welcomed by the Lord when you ask.

Your intentions and faithful adherence measurements are for another time.

Now just ask, pray, give honor to God, place your trust, give thanks, give loud questions and lamentations to God above if needed and completely open yourself to the blessing of Grace freely given.

Trust me — it will help.

Please consider coming home to the Church.

The Church can be a shelter for you in your time of storm.

Praying for your ability to rest (mind and body) your test and a good report.
Remember God is right there with you even if you don’t always think so, He is there and available every second.
Just ask jesus for Peace, strength, to feel rest and calm in the midst or swirling thoughts (storm). He won’t mind that you may not have been in touch much for a while. God helps all who ask with sincere heart.
Prayers for your family, all doctors, technicians, etc involved.

I’m praying that the Lord will give you His peace that passes all understanding, and yes, that He will draw you closer to Him.

Read up on grape seed extract studies and stay away from other antioxidants for a while, if it is cancerous.

May God bless you and heal you according to His will and may you find strength in Him.

I do hope you find your way home to the Church and avail yourself to the grace poured forth from the sacraments. I just prayed for you and will continue to do so, especially tomorrow at Mass

Also, ask for the intercession of St Peregrine
