I received this plea from a college friend, please pray. Thank you.
Quote:
Dear Friends,
Never before have I seen the power of unity in prayer
I beg you to join my dearest Papa, my siblings, rrelatives, friends and myself to pray for my beloved Mama, Adoracion Liggayu, as she battles with liver cancer.
My mom was diagnosed with liver cancer barely 3 weeks ago. We have literally been hospital-dwellers since then. Right now, my mom is in the ICU of St. Luke's Hospital under the care of Dra. Juliet Cervantes, a hepatologist.
To my knowledge, Mama has already been thrice saved by God's miracles for the past 3 weeks First was when we initially brought her to St. Lukes where she underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. She was found to have severe esophageal varices With our prayers, a timely rubber
band ligation was done on her varices which was at high risk of bleeding...
Second miracle happened just last Thursday when we rushed my mom once more to St. Lukes due to weakening. Little did we know that she was already dehydrated due to poor appetite.
Third miracle was last Saturday when her doctor performed paracentesis and there she found out that Mama's liver tumor has burst... Right now, this blood is still being drained from her abdomen...
Three times my mom has been saved. We have been storming the gates of heaven with our prayers for complete healing for my mom who is just 65 years old.
Tonight as I write this I am knocking at the door of your heart to please pray for my mom. Her tumor continues to bleed causing her hemoglobin to go down.
Please include my mom in your prayers. We are invoking our Beloved Pope John Paul II and Mama Mary to intercede for my mom and grant her a miracle of complete healing of her liver cancer.
With much gratitude,
Ellen Virtucio |

Thank you for your prayers for Ellen's mom. She passed away March 15 after her short battle with cancer. Her kids from Canada and Thailand were able to come home to say goodbye.
From Ellen:

Stef, I have been praying for her, and now the repose of her soul.
Eternal rest, grant unto her O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
