I’ll pray that heavenly voice of his is spared!
Absolutely amazing preacher...best around today...period.
God, please comfort Father Corapi and aid him in fulfilling Your plan.
ex-President Ronald Reagan, when he fell off his horse circa 1989, went to the Mayo Clinic, but actually stayed at Saint Mary's Hospital.
The story behind the Mayo Brothers' Clinic and Saint Mary's Hospital is that there was a devastating tornado. The Mayo brothers' offered to be doctor's at the hospital, but asked the nuns to start the hospital. Hence you have both.
I imagine Father Corapi might need only stay at the Clinic and may not need the Hospital -- both have extensive facilities.
He is quite the spiritual warrior...
God bless...

I love this guy. And I am not Catholic. He is a great teacher and man of God. Wish there were more like him.
Parathyroid tumors are not that rare, but very hard for docs to diagnose, since their findings are subtle.
A lot of these people are sick and you are stuck trying to figure out why. The treatment is to remove the thyroid and hope the parathyroid causing the trouble is in the part you take out.
In Mayo clinic, they probably have the more sophisticated scans to identify where the actual tumor is located.
Personally, I don’t like Coriapi: He talks wonderful but seems to smirk too much and reminds me of a demagogue.
But I will remember him in my prayers.
Prayers for Fr. Corapi, of course. Now, a question. He lives in Kalispell? How did he manage that? It’s a really beautiful part of the world!
OH, WOW!! And I was excited just to get a picture of him at a conference! :) He’s a saint.
This father has children beyond count.
May the Lord give him strength and complete healing, as he has healed so many.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, amen.
Prayers lifted.
Pray the hands of the surgeons were guided by the Holy Spirit as the danger of nerve damage to the vocal chords is great with this procedure...
God Bless and protect Fr. Corapi...
He’s a great man. I pray that God won’t take him from us yet. We need about 1,000 more just like him.
More prayers for Father Corapi.
Apparently, he is scheduled for surgery this week. Please keep him in your prayers.
I am only just now catching up to the story on Fr. Corapi’s health. Has he had the surgery? If so, how did it go?
I met Father in the mid 1990’s or so at St Anthony’s Monastery in Kennebunkport, Maine, of all places, where he one day showed up as a visiting priest and said Mass in a very reverent way that reminded me of the Opus Dei priests I had seen celebrate. He did not look like an Opus Dei man, so after Mass I went up to him and asked him whether he had learned to celebrate Mass that way at the University of Navarre, and he said yes. We had a nice chat after that opener. I am praying for him.
I believe he underwent surgery during the week of the pope's visit. He must be doing well because Fr. Mitch Pacwa has already booked him as a guest for his Mary 14 EWTN Live program.
Fr. Mitch announced on May 14 that the interview with Fr. Corapi scheduled for May 21 was canceled due to his poor health. However, Life on the Rock interviewed Fr. Corapi by phone on May 15 at the beginning of the show. You can watch the archived video at the following link up to May 22. After that, you can search for the same program in their audio archive.

Thank you for updating the information. I caught portions of the LOTR interview. Fr. Corapi sounded upbeat and positive. I was most impressed with his acceptance of this "sharing in the cross" with our Lord.
This Jew is praying for Father Corapi.
I love this man, he is a great priest. Prayers for him.
