Jennifer:
Took this intention with me in Adoration and will continue to pray for your brother, and your whole family. We are asking for the intercession of Pier Giorgio Frassati (God's will and the grace needed for whatever is in front of you all) and will bring your family a holy card at the All Saints function. I think of your brother every time I think of Blessed Frassati.

We have been and will continue to pray for him, Jennifer. I don't always have the free hands to post, but I do read the prayer requests and pray for each one, as I did the other day. I was thinking of you around 1 am when the baby had me up and I prayed for you all then, I hope that you feel God's mighty hugs when you need them most!!

I just wanted to update all of you and thank you so much for your very generous prayers.
Chris is doing well. He is in very good overall health, so that is a big point in his favor! His spirits are good. It took him a day or so to digest this latest setback, but he's back to planning his gardens and working on other projects. I know your prayers helped carry him through some of this. The "wrapping your will around HIS will" is so much easier said than done, isn't it? I'm so grateful for your prayers as I know they were instrumental in seeing him through these last few days!
He will begin a new, experimental form of chemo again soon. It will just be another big question mark among many others, but it's another direction, another point of hope. We'll just keep hoping and praying, knowing that in the end, in this vale of tears, there is one sure hope! I know and am so comforted beyond words that my sweet little brother's eyes are fixed on that mark! There is joy in that!
Thank you all so much dear friends for carrying him through these last few days with your prayers! I'm more grateful than you can know! If I could be so bold as to ask for continued prayers?
to all of you for your generosity in your prayers!

Absolutely, we'll pray. Also, no need to be bold to ask for prayers, Jen. We all stand in need sometimes. And there are times we need more than just a quick glance heavenward.

Jennifer,
I just saw this and wanted you to know that I am lighting a candle now and offering my prayers for your dear brother. He will be kept in our daily Rosary intentions each night when our family comes together to pray to Our Beloved Mother.
Hugs.

Oh, Jen, you all are an inspiration to me. And yes, walking the "talk" is literally done one step at a time..no more.
Thanks for the update and know Chris, you and the whole family are in my prayers.
Many
