I posted about a year ago asking prayers for my father, who had some back problems, and was facing surgery and long-time therapy. The time since then has been one of struggle for him. He has been in and out of the hospital numerous times, and each time he became weaker. He is now close to the end of his struggle. I got a call last night from the nursing home saying he had been taken to the hospital because he had no pulse. His heart was restarted, but he had two cardiac arrests at the hospital. He is on a ventilator and meds to try to keep his blood pressure stabilized, but there are no real signs of life. The doctor said he doesn't know how long Dad was without a pulse, but there is likely extensive brain damage.
He is in St. Louis and I am in the Chicago area, and will be going down later today.
Dad is a Christian man. He is a proud veteran of the Korean War era and a true blue conservative and patriot. I know he is in God's hands. I ask your prayers for him, and for me, as we go through one of life's moments.
Please forgive me if I do not respond right away or even today. I have a lot on my mind and a lot to do. But I do appreciate all of you in the community of prayer here on FR.
Prayers for you both.
Prayers up. God bless your Dad.
Prayers up-

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bènie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
