Prayer Request

Dear readers, I was just shocked and saddened to hear this news about a friend of mine. Her husband writes:

Last November, my wife Lorna, was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic with MSA or multiple systemic atrophy. This is a very rare disease that unfortunately, doesn’t have any cure as of yet. She is slowly deteriorating and now has to use a walker to go around. The doctor told us that this process will continue until her physical functions will just shut down. The life span we are told, is 6 to 9 years. The pace of deterioration varies on those afflicted with the disease. At this time last year, Lorna was still able to drive on her own. Now, it is difficult for her even just to get out of bed. Her gait is slowing down dramatically and there is a pronounced weakening of the left side of her body.

Absent of a cure for this affliction, we are left with only prayers to find an answer. Like everybody in your email group, she is a very devoted Catholic. Every day we pray that a cure be found or for a miracle to happen to rid her of this disease. May I request that she be included in your prayers as well? I am hoping that with more people praying for her behalf, she’ll have a better chance of getting heard.

Prayer: You have given the sick and the suffering a share in your cross, give them patience and strength. Save those you have redeemed by your blood, Lord.
