What's Been Happening

Hey everyone!

I haven't updated you all on some resent happenings. My grandmother passed away Saturday, June 21 on the feast of St. Aloysius (the patron Saint of my grandfather). I'm 18 hours away from home in FL. The funeral was held out here. Now I'm just visiting with my Aunt.

My family and I think she probably suffered internal bleeding (she fell in her apartment). She came over for dinner the same day she passed away and we were all home to spend time with her (it's been pretty rare when everyone in my family is home at the same time). She wasn't feeling herself that evening, so we had a priest come to give her the Last Rites. It wasn't until, after we brought her back to her room (at an assisted living facility not to far from our house) that she fell and was taken to the hospital. My mom and dad were with her when she died. If you could all pray for the repose of her soul, my family and I would be truly grateful.

Well, as homesick as I am, FL has been pretty nice. I'm working on my tan, swimming, going on family walks, went to see How To Train Your Dragon 2 (it was a great movie!), enjoying my aunt's great cooking, and watching some fun tv shows and movies (we don't have cable at home and my aunt does). We might do some shopping later this week. I will be sharing pictures of the trip soon!

Anxiety

Hello friends!

I just have a quick favor to ask of you.  If you all could say some prayers for me, I would be very grateful.  My anxiety has been pretty bad lately.  I need to work on completely trusting in God, figuring out what He wants of me, and accepting it.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart and know that I am praying for you!

God bless you!

Please Pray

This was sent to me by email this morning.  Please pray for these two priests and their families.

"Dear Confraternity Members, Your prayers as members of our extended family through the Confraternity of St Peter are urgently needed. Last night in the U.S.A. the Fraternity Rectory in Phoenix was broken into. District Superior Fr. Eric Flood was contacted at 2am by the police who informed him that Fr. Kenneth Walker, FSSP had been killed and that Fr. Joseph Terra was in critical condition. The families of the two priests have been informed.

Fr Walker was 29 years and had been ordained a priest 2 years ago. Please offer your daily decade of the Rosary and the Confraternity Prayer today and in the coming days for the repose of the soul of this young priest and for the health of Fr. Terra, as well as for strength for their families and their parishioners in this tragedy. Rev. Fr. Armand de Malleray, FSSP"

Please remember to pray for all our priests.


God bless you!
