A lot has crossed our minds over the last few weeks to say the least. And as I mentioned earlier in the week, the magnitude of things as surgery approaches grows.
I just got off the phone with the hospital and finalized everything. We have to be at WVU at 6:15 on Monday to register.
So we continue to pray as much as we possibly can.
Being the Catholics we are, we believe we can pray to the Blessed Mary and the saints and they will intercede on our behalf.
St. Luke the Evangelist is the patron saint for those going into surgery and the patron saint of surgeons. St. Raphael is the patron saint of healing.
Below is also one of the prayers from the Catholic prayer book that we've been praying to Mary. And it's not specific to surgery, but to anything that is burdening life.
Thanks for the continued thoughts and prayers.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of thy Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen
