Prayer Request for my friend, Rick, Vietnam Vet, Navy Seal

Rick is an old friend who was there for me when my husband died. He even installed some garage shelving for me when I moved into my condo.

Last week, the pneumonia and bronchitis got him and he was admitted to the hospital. Hospice stepped into the picture and took all the meds away because they thought he was going to die.

They don't know Rick, or should I say they don't know the determination of a Navy Seal that served in Vietnam. He is so determined to live.

But I have a request for prayer for him since he is home. Mostly for his soul so that he will come back to the Church and the Sacraments.

I appreciate your prayers because I know they work, and I don't think my exhortations and prayers alone will convince him to call a priest for the Anointing of the Sick.

I will pray for Rick also.
When I was a child....in first grade, in a Roman Catholic school about 1948, there was a nun who exolained salvation to me.
We put our heads on those old desks, closed our eyes and accepted Jesus as the only way to heaven.
Since then I have had quite a ride through life.
I have since learned a lot about Jesus;
Eternal Salvation is free; the philipian jailer asked what he must do to be saved.
Paul said “Believe on THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, AND THY HOUSE” . Romans 10, 9 and 10.
I’m praying for him now; and you.

...prayers for Rick. I so admire all those who served in
Vietnam. I cannot imagine how their lives were changed forever. I pray that Rick come back to the sacraments. I have recently had that grace to do so, and hope Rick finds comfort in the Church once again.

Prayers for Rick and his family are on the way.

Lord Jesus our God,

We pray for the complete healing of Thy servant Rick, and for the well-being of his family and friends.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

[Salvation]

Thanks, everyone, for your prayers for Rick. He is now having better days, and then he lapses back into a worse day.

But I think your prayers kept him going — this Navy Seal is one tough dude.

Thought about you and looked you up. Hope all is well. Turns out you were right about the influences of Gramsci in modern American politics.

A number of my fellow Vietnam War veterans have suffered with the effects of Agent Orange caused cancers. I was based in the Delta where Operation Ranch Hand was very active.
