Dear ladies:
I am asking your prayers for a friend of my husbands who contracted a staph infection right before Christmas. The infection has invaded his entire body and he is close to death. Tomorrow, Jan. 2nd, his heart will be operated on to replace a heart valve. His wife has been advised that recovery following surgery will be an all day battle. The valve is not closing properly and his condition is deteriorating. The surgeon is expecting and is preparing for significant (unknown) complications. The operation is an extreme risk, but the only option for any chance of survival. John is a young husband and father of six homeschooled children in Virginia.
Thank you.

Maria, I will be praying for this man! This happened to a homeschooling friend of mine a couple of years ago and the infection had attached like a big ball to this man's valve which had to be replaced - it didn't look as though he would survive he was in an extremely critical way, but he did. Praying for the same outcome, Maria!

Should we do a novena to JP II?

Please, Maria, let's do a novena, or something silimar...this could have been us two years ago, as my s-i-l was so very ill with a similar infection in her leg. She still hasn't fully recovered.
I will pray very, very hard for this man and his family.

Novena Prayer for the Canonization of JPII for Maria's friend:
O Blessed Trinity, we thank You for having graced the Church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of your Fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Holy Spirit, to shine through him. Trusting fully in Your infinite mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with you. Grant us, by his intercession, and according to Your will, the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints.
Amen
