Please keep in prayer Father Timothy Vakoc, Army Chaplain, seriously wounded in an i.e.d. (improvised explosive device) explosion south of Baghdad on Saturday 29 May. Father is a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Paul – Minneapolis.

As of this writing he is in stable but very serious condition. Within the next several days, Fr. Tim will be transported to Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, DC. He still remains very much in need of prayer.

May God use His healing powers to help Father Tim, and to guide the doctors and nurses who care for him, in Jesus' name.

Thank you, thank you for all of your prayers! Father Tim came out of the coma and is responding to the antibiotics. God bless you.

From Father Tim's website: Patient Room: Tuesday night June 15: Today was a good day for Tim that brings much hope for his recovery. While being read to this afternoon Tim awoke from his coma. It was very apparent that he was tracking with those in the room when they spoke to him. Also today his doctors took a sample of fluid from his spine. They were able to determine that the antibiotics are finally working. On Wednesday a tracheotomy is scheduled which will make it easier for Tim to breath on his own. This Friday is the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pope had designated it as the feast for priests. For those who are so inclined, please pray for the graces of this feast to rain on Tim. Fr. Tim remains in ICU. His condition continues to be critical, guarded, and with stable vitals.
