Would you pray for two families who got sad news about their kids this week?
L., at eight months of pregnancy, found out on Friday that her baby is stillborn: "I had a heartbeat (normal) on Monday, and on Friday I noticed that I hadn't experienced any fetal movement. Today I went in and found out the bad news." She has the delivery ahead of her.
B. writes that "God in His Providence has put a heavy cross on our shoulders to carry: His and our beloved 8 year old son P. has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. All this is happening during our job transfer, thousand of miles away from family and friends. We're begging for prayers for his cure and also for grace for all of us to cooperate with God's holy Will in these dark hours of our lives."
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins, and for those of the whole world.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world....
We're all in this together.
My prayers go out to both families. I'll post this info on my blog too in hopes of adding a little more to the shower of prayers for them. God be with them in these difficult times!
I am praying as well. Such hard news!
