Our God has provided miracle cures. Rarely do we find them via chemo or radiation. When conventional medicine sends patients home or to hospice with morphine and instructions to get their affairs in order (they bat zero at this point) natural, alternative treatments have a 50% success rate.
God bless Tony and his family - we are praying with them and all of you for his quick recovery. Our prayer is for God's touch on Tony - Miracles do happen!
Tony is a fighter and the best of men. He will beat this. Prayers and only good thoughts for you, Tony!
A friend of mine lost his colon and his liver to cancer and is still going strong over 8 years later after getting a liver transplant. Fortunately it didn't spread past the colon and liver. I can't say if Tony would be a candidate for such a procedure, but it has been done before.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up, Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit our brother Tony, who is sick. Stretch forth Your hand that is full of healing and health, and get him up from his bed, and cure him of his illness. Put away from him the spirit of disease and of every malady, pain and fever to which he is bound; and if he has sins and transgressions, grant to him remission and forgiveness, in that You love mankind; yea, Lord my God, pity Your creation, through the compassions of Your Only-Begotten Son, together with Your All-Holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit, with Whom You are blessed, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord our God, Who by word alone did heal all diseases, Who did cure the kinswoman of Peter, You Who chastise with pity and heal according to Your goodness; Who are able to put aside every malady and infirmity, do You Yourself, the same Lord, grant aid to this Your servant Tony and cure him of every sickness of which he is grieved; lift him up from his bed of pain, and send down upon him Your great mercy, and if it be Your Will, give to him health and a complete recovery; for You are the Physician of our souls and bodies, and to You do we send up Glory: to Father, and to Son, and to Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Tony, you are one class act. You and your family have my prayers and support. We'll be looking for you. There are many things that can be done at this phase. You will beat this, hang on.
Prayers
Not what I wanted to hear
Oh no! Prayers said for Tony and his family.
My experience with my mother was exactly the same. It was a horrible experience, and I understand exactly what you witnessed.
Not true about the blood. My husband went from there is nothing wrong to stage IV in a matter of less than a month.
Oh God no!
Ok...thanks.
Dang, Howlin....I didn't realize this is what your Mother had.
This must be very hard on you then...all of those sad times are really fresh for you also.
Prayers for you my friend...
sleuth
Well crap. The last thing I wanted to hear today.
Amazing how we can shed tears for someone we have never met. Tony, we love and appreciate you. You and your family are in our prayers regularly.
Prayer to Saint Peregrine
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you.
For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you.
We pray mercy and healing for Tony Snow and all those who suffer from this disease.
Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.
With cancer, treatable is a highly broad brushed term.
Heartbreaking. I love Tony Snow. Prayers going up.
We will continue to pray for Mr. Snow.
