Sister Grace Marie is requesting prayers for her Mother Margaret Ihlenfeldt who is gravely ill with cancer.
Please pray that God's mercy, grace, and wisdom will touch Margaret, and give her courage and peace.
Please pray that Grace Marie, and her family who are gathered around her Mom will be strengthened by God's love at this difficult time.
If you ever watch EWTN, and you've heard prayers said by a young woman with an English accent-that's Grace Marie. She asked me to post this as she knows Freepers are uber-prayer warriors.
Prayers, of course. I did not know the English accent was from one of the Sisters. I will pray for her and her family. <><
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the life of this beloved mother, Margaret, and for the prayers that surround her at this time. Be ever so near to her, O God, in her hour of need. Speak to her in a whisper that we do not hear, in words that we cannot understand ... surround her with the joyous sounds of heaven that are meant for her alone. As she takes leave of this life, comfort the hearts of Grace Marie and her family ... be for them the assurance that parting is but for a brief moment ... joyous reunion is eternal. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
Prayer Ping!
Prayers are on the way!

Prayers being said for Sister Grace Marie!
I will pray.
Thank you for letting us know about Sr. Grace's mother. I'll pray for her and the family during Mass and the rosary. Please keep us posted.
I join in prayer for God's blessings and peace for all.
Now as I put one of my kids back to bed, I will take a moment and pray for them and ask St. Joseph's intercession for Margaret. May Our Blessed Lord grant Margaret the grace to be fully reconciled to Him and ready to leave this world anointed and nourished by viaticum for her final journey from this vale of tears.
Prayers from an Anglican sister in Christ and a regular EWTN viewer. I frequently pray the rosary with Mother Angelica and the good Sisters and will include Sister Marie Grace's request, along with my continued prayers for Mother Angelica.

Sister Grace Marie: May the Angels envelope your Mom and if our Savior is bidding her to come Home, may those very same Angels lead her through the gates of Paradise to forever dwell with Him. Amen
