Dear prayer warriors,
Please pray for a wonderful family here in Northern IL, a family expecting their 4th baby who they have named James. Baby James has been diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta type II, a lethal birth defect. The doctors say the chances that he will be born alive are 10% and that he will not be able to survive after that. The situation is very grim, but Maria and her family are begging for prayers.
As she has said tonight in an e-mail to our homeschool group:
"Prayer is
the only and yet the most powerful thing we can do for little James Nicholas,
and us as parents are asking anybody, everybody we meet to pray for him. Whether
they pray or not, whether we know them or not. ..as parents, we have to try our
best, and asking for prayers is the one thing we can do.. so meet baby James,"
in particular, they are praying two prayers, one to John Paul II and one to Mother Teresa, she has begged us to print out the following prayers for her sweet baby and post them somewhere so you can remember to pray for their baby . In her words:
"WE WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO YOU!!!!!!"
O Holy Trinity,
we thank you for having given to the Church
Pope John Paul II,
and for having made him shine with your fatherly tenderness,
the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love
He, trusting completely in your infinite mercy
and in the maternal intercession of Mary, has shown himself
in the likeness of Jesus the Good Shepherd
and has pointed out to us holiness
as the path to reach eternal communion with You.
Grant us, through his intercession,
according to your will, the grace that we implore,
in the hope that he will soon be numbered among your saints.
Amen.
Prayer for Canonization
Jesus, you made Blessed Teresa an inspiring example of firm faith and burning
charity, an extraordinary witness to the way of spiritual childhood, and a great
and esteemed teacher of the value and dignity of every human life. Grant that
she may be venerated and imitated as one of the Church's canonized saints.
Hear the requests of all those who seek her intercession, especially the
petition I now implore... (mention here the favor or favor you wish to pray
for).
May we follow her example in heeding Your cry of thirst from the Cross and
joyfully loving You in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor,
especially those most unloved and unwanted.
We ask this in Your name and through the intercession of Mary, Your Mother and
the Mother of us all. Amen.
