Actually, it is a young man who goes to our church. He was shot in the accident about a month ago -- the bullet shattered his thigh-- and I just heard that the wound became infected after surgery and the infection is now impinging on his femoral artery.   There are concerns he may lose his leg and that he is too fragile after the infection to survive the amputation.   

I think he and his family can really use the prayers.

I'm sure they could. We will pray for him during our family adoration hour tomorrow morning.

Praying, Willa....my brother is an amputee and it is more difficult to cope with than imaginable----just keeping his stump infection and fluid-filled cyst-free seems impossible. It is a long and painful road.

I will be praying for both these men. Here is a prayer I say every morning for all who are sick.

O merciful Infant Jesus! I know of Thy miraculous deeds for the sick...in view of the innumerable graces and the cures granted...through the veneration of Thy Holy Infancy, particularly in the statue of Prague...I exclaim with the greatest assurance: O most loving...Infant Jesus, Thou canst cure ___ if Thou wilt! Extend Thy holy hand and by Thy power take away all pain and infirmity. Amen.

Thank you so much for your prayers. According to latest reports he is still dealing with the infection in the bone of his thigh. However, he has been stable for 72 hours and no more bleeding episodes-- which is good news.   His name is Joseph.

Ruth, that is a beautiful prayer! and our church is called Infant Jesus of Prague, so I think the Holy Spirit must inspired you to send it.
