Can we please have a civilized thread offering our prayers for Sen. Kennedy and his family? He has just been diagnosed with brain cancer (glioma) which has a very poor prognosis. The moderators have already been forced to pull at least FOUR threads on this topic due to uncivilized posters. If you feel the urge to post something unkind, don't.
MOD: Violation of decorum on this thread will be dealt with by immediate suspension. Thanks for your cooperation.
Amen. May God use this tragedy as a vehicle to draw Mr. Kennedy back to His side in full repentance and fellowship. And may He give the Kennedy family the strength they will need to withstand not only his illness but the spotlight of the world that will be trained upon them from now on.
God shelter them under Thy wings and bring them to Your Kingdom.
Amen.
My mom died of a glioblastoma multi-forme (brain cancer). She had grand mal seizures because of it (shook a wheel locked hospital bed). Brain cancer is beyond awful its affects are swift and ravaging and seeing the affects of it last a lifetime for the surviving family. It is horrific. Prayers sent...for G-d’s blessing.
Prayers for all the rich and famous who are praying for me.
Let's pray he comes to Jesus Christ, asks Him for forgiveness and to be His Savior and accepts God's gift of grace. That's the only way one can receive it.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
[originally When my eye-strings break in death]
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
This is a devastating disease, I would not wish it on anyone for any reason. Nobody deserves to suffer like this.
Prayers for him and especially for his family.
For Senator Kennedy,
Utmost wishes of peace and serenity.
Cherish your loved ones and shower them with
Kindness in your final days.
You never know how much time
One has in this world, so
Use it wisely.
To do no harm in your final days,
Eternal happiness awaits,
Death is not the end.
This is what separates us from them.... We forgive.
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
Prayers sent candle lit.
My most sincere prayers for Senator Kennedy and his family.
Therefore, one Chaplet of Divine Mercy, going up. I'd like to think that someone will do the same for me one day.
I would like to offer my prayers to Sen. Kennedy and his family. Shame on everyone who cannot transcend politics. May God comfort him and his family in their time of need.
God doesn’t rank sinners from bad to not so bad. It’s pass fail and WE ALL fail.
Prayers for his family and prayers for repentence, forgiveness and a good Confession. As things may look empty and troubled for him, I wish him peace and hope.
This is a devastating disease, I would not wish it on anyone for any reason. Nobody deserves to suffer like this.
Prayers for him and especially for his family.
A friend of ours lost a co-worker to the same diagnosis, it’s a tough one to beat.
Prayers to the Senator and his family.
Where did you get the idea mods are paid?
Only God can do that. He will if the Senator asks for forgiveness.
Had a lovely gentle aunt that died of this horrible horrible disease (hers was stage 4 glioma) - 5 months from diagnosis to the final mercy of death.
