Not that I don’t pray for them normally. If you would please, remember these two in your prayers today:

1. Fr. Mark: his father is undergoing quadruple bypass today. Please pray for the successful outcome of that surgery, and his dad’s rapid recovery and return to health. Please also pray for Fr. Mark himself, who is concerned, and for his entire family as they worry through the long hours of waiting.

2. Fr. John: he is sick. Some say a nasty flu that he got down in Mexico. Whatever the cause (maybe it’s returning to this cold, ikky weather — that could make you sick just looking at it!), please with all sincerety, please, pray for his speedy and full recovery as well.

Hugs for you both. God Bless you!
