Prayer Request Semi-Update

A reader writes:

Hello Mr. Shea, I’ve checked your blog to look for an update regarding the progress of Fr. Jim Erving, O.M.I., of Our Lady of Refuge parish in Roma, Texas. Not finding one, I checked online for the parish bulletin … none online. I phoned Fr.’s parish and found that today (Friday) he had a third surgery. The staff did not know the outcome. Please ask folks to continue their prayers for this blessed man of God. Thank you, and those who pray for others, for your/their charity and kindness.

Father, hear our continued prayers for Fr. Erving’s complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. Give his caregivers wisdom, knowledge, understanding, skill, compassion and the proper technology. Give all who love him grace, peace, strength, faith, hope and love. Mother Mary, St. Luke and St. Peregrine, pray for them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
