Praying for a Miracle!

I've asked for prayers for my friend Katrina (my best friend from our homeschool days) a number of times over the year and I would like to ask for them once again. She is dying of a slow-moving form of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and the situation is quite advanced at this point - she is in home hospice care.

She has recently asked for prayers for complete healing to Fr. Patrick "Paddy" Rager, a saintly priest who died of what sounds like the same form of ALS that Katrina has. He sounds like a really amazing man - you can read more about him here: Obituary: Patrick Rager / Catholic priest who was regarded as a living saint.

Would you please consider joining me in this prayer on Katrina's behalf?

The Merry Month of May

Big sisters getting Frank ready for First Communion.

Our May was simply overflowing with celebrations and blessings of all sorts. Here's a little glimpse. There are some missing spots too, like Fr. Carlos' Mass of Thanksgiving, our homeschool group's high school graduation, several birthdays, etc....
