Please Pray for My Mother
self | Bigg Red

Posted on 05/18/2006 1:55:46 PM PDT by Bigg Red

My mother Marie will be 94 next month, and she has been a faithful Catholic all of her life. She fell and fractured her hip, and, as I post this, she is currently in the hospital awaiting the surgeon's decision on whether he will operate tonight or tomorrow.

Fortunately, her heart and lungs are in good shape, so she is a good candidate for surgery, but she has senile dementia. The source of concern for our family, based on what her primary care physician has said, is that she may not go through rehab well enough to go back home. As I am sure everyone knows, often elderly people go downhill fast after this sort of injury.

Please pray for this dear lady. She raised 9 children, and she has 28 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren.

Miracles do happen.

I know, I have seen them. God willing, my mother will see 100. She said a few years ago that she intended to live to 100, and my mother is a very determined lady.

Thank you for your prayers.

I know that a hip fracture is extremely serious when it happens to someone of an advanced age, so my heart goes out to you. My own mother is 81 and will be facing back surgery in June.

You may take some comfort in these words by Civilla Martin, who, with her husband Walter Martin, wrote a number of sacred tunes popular in the twentieth century, including My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me. She wrote the following hymn while recovering from an illness in 1904:

God Will Take Care of You

Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.

Refrain
God will take care of you,
Through every day, over all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.

All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
Lean, weary one, upon His breast,
God will take care of you.
