Katie McDonald, my daughter-in-law; and my son, Michael, need your prayers. I cannot go into detail as to why as it is too personal. Most of the family members and close friends are aware of the situation. If you do not, please respect their privacy. The Lord knows fully what is going on, and just what He needs to do physically, spiritually, and psychologically to aid them. |
Katie Arnson, my wife's second-cousin, is very sweet young woman who makes friends with everyone she meets. She has recently received her Associate degree in one of the Nursing disciplines at Davenport University, where her mother is also an adjunct instructor.
Katie has had a lot of physical difficulties during her life, including a liver transplant at only four months of age.
Katie has recently been diagnosed with Indolent Lymphoma. At the time of this writing, she does not know the prognosis, although she may need surgery to remove some lymph nodes, and to see just how bad it is.

All three, Katie, Katie, and Michael really need your prayers. They all very much need to have the Lord shower them with his Mercy and Grace.
Will you please commit to saying the Divine Mercy Chaplet
for all of them, over the next nine days? Let us always remember how great a
salvation He has provided to us, through his suffering. They are all going through a very difficult, trying time right now and they all desperately need the Lord to intervene in their situations, and to more fully perfect them.
If you are not Catholic, or are
uncomfortable saying the prescribed prayers, just pray in your own
way for God's Mercy for Katie, Katie, and Michael.
If you don't have a rosary, you can
count on your fingers.
God bless you for your concern and
prayer.
Say once per day, beginning Monday,
June 14 to commit them all to Jesus' Most Sacred Heart through June 22.
The Divine Mercy Chaplet
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelope the whole world and empty yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us.
I Trust in You!
In the Name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Our Father, Who
art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy
Name.
Thy Kingdom
come.
Thy Will be
done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread.
And forgive us
our trespasses,
as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
And lead us not
into temptation,
but deliver us
from evil. Amen.
I believe in
God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus
Christ, His only Son Our Lord,
Who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended
into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended
into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father
almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the
dead.
I believe in
the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and
life everlasting.
Amen.
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
those of the whole world.
For the sake of
His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
(Repeat step 2
and 3 for all five decades).
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy
Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Closing Prayer
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless
and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us,
tht in difficult moment we might not despair
or become despondent,
but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will,
which is Love and Mercy itself.
AMEN
