Dana Gardner passed away

 

Brothers, John Tieskotter messaged me this morning that his brother-in-law, Dana Gardner passed away. Dan lived near Elma, Iowa, he had been battling cancer. Please pray for the repose of his soul and for the peace of God to ease the pain and sorrow his family feels. 

Prayer for Eternal Rest

In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced them with your tender love;  deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.  The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen. 

Brothers this past Tuesday Richard Holland was able at our Insulation of Officers and let us know that his wife had fallen and broke her right clavicle. Please pray for healing for her and pray for Richard as he had not been feeling the best. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Savior and consoler of all who put their trust in you, we humbly commend into your compassionate regard our brother/sister (insert name). Look mercifully upon their injury, ease their suffering, and grant them a swift recovery.

Prayer Request Tim Casey Family

 

Brothers, I was messaged earlier and was informed that Tim Casey's brother passed away this past week. Tim's brother's name is Jim Casey, please join me in praying for the repose of his soul. Tim and Debbie will be going to Minnesota this week, please pray for safe travels. Tim lost his sister this past November and now his brother please pray for comfort and peace for the whole family during this time. 

Lord,
Jim Casey is gone now from this earthly dwelling,
and has left behind those who mourn his absence.
Grant that his family may hold his memory dear,
never bitter for what they have lost
nor in regret for the past,
but always in hope of the eternal Kingdom
where you will bring them together again.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

I want the meeting to be very short so we can have a great time after the Installation. I know that the Slate of Officers in the Minutes is not complete, I will be seeking a motion to correct that before we approve the Minutes. 

Thank you, brothers, for all you do.

healing prayers for John Tieskotter's Brother in LAW

 

Brothers, I received a text from John today about his brother-in-law, Dan Gardner, Who has been battling cancer. Dan's cancer is now in his spine and lungs. Rochester is sending him home to spend time with his grandkids. Brothers please pray for Dan and the whole family.

PRAYER FOR THE SICK AND THE DYING

Father of Love and Mercy, You miraculously cured Saint Peregrine of an advanced cancer of his foot when the power of man could do more. You favored him with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal his affliction.

Hear the prayers we offer, through the intercession of Saint Peregrine, for the cure of the sick and dying whom we entrusted to You.

Pause here and silently recall the names of those for whom you are praying.

May all who suffer pain, illness, or disease know that You are with them even in the depths of despair. Enable them to see Your plan and bring them closer to Your Son who accepted our suffering to teach us the virtues of meekness and patience as we carry our crosses through life.

Prayers

Brothers I recieved the email below from Tim today. 

"I am asking prayers for my brother who has recently been moved to Comfort Care which is the last stage of hospice."

Brothers let us lift up our prayers up to the Lord for Tim's brother and thier whole family. 

Father, your Son accepted our sufferings

to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness.

Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realise that they have been chosen to be saints and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayers

Thank you everyone for your prayers. Angela has 2 sisters in Springfield. Karilyn is the one that has organ failure and will need to be in a care facility. Adele, her twin sister is the one that had multiple cancer surgeries and has a daughter that has Angelmans syndrome. She needs prayers for a home health care provider. 

Russell Rouse

 

Brothers, our brother Russell Rouse had his hip surgery yesterday. John Tieskotter messaged me to let me know that he was out of surgery and had a weird feeling moving his feet afterward.  All of us who have talked to Russell in the past year know how much pain he has been in, please pray for a speedy and complete recovery. 

Heavenly Father, Divine Physician of our souls and bodies,
I thank You that this surgery is safely past. I place Russell Rouse completely into Your loving care during this time of recovery. Please lay Your healing hands upon him, relieve his pain, and grant him patience and strength as his body mends. 

Lord Jesus, look with compassion on this Brother Knight, who has dedicated his life to the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity. Grant that the restorative power of Your Spirit may flow through him, removing all anxiety and replacing it with Your peace. 

We humbly ask for the powerful intercession of Blessed Michael McGivney. Under his protection, may the love and healing power of our Heavenly Father be with Brother Russell and restore him swiftly to good health and his community. 

We offer this prayer for his complete physical, mental, and spiritual restoration, for the greater glory of God. 

Amen.
