Father Francis

Father Francis and his family back in India are in need of prayers. His dad is 85 and has been diagnosed with cancer. While Father Francis is not sure of what kind, he did say it was in his abdomen. Due to his dad's age he is not a candidate for chemo or surgery.  Father Francis' mother is not in the best of health, she has knee pain and has issues with her hands, but she is trying to take care of his dad. Since her health is not the best, Father Francis and his siblings are trying to help pay someone who will travel to their village from the city to help take care of his dad. 

Father Francis himself is in need of prayers as he was told not long ago that he needs cataract surgery. He has been having some issues with his eyesight, which has led to him having a hard time reading occasionally. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Savior and consoler of our weakness, who delivered Peter’s mother-in-law and the ruler’s son from a high fever; who restored strength to the paralytic, cleansed the lepers, healed the centurion’s servant; who saved the woman suffering from hemorrhage, raised up the man lying helpless on his pallet at the pool of Bethsaida, went about the towns and villages healing all kinds of ailments … may the sick … be freed from their illness and restored in body and mind, and may rightly see fit to praise your power until the end of their days; you who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
