Claire recently had another MRI given some weakness in her left arm and some severe pain she was experiencing. The MRI indicated there were no current syrinx issues and that she was still clear to have the surgery on Feb. 16th. We continue to pray that Claire will experience tremendous healing. We ask our Lady of Lourdes especially during her Feast day, Feb. 11th, for Claire's recovery of her legs and some organ functioning.
We also attended a beautiful mass at the Cathedral on Saturday for the World day of the sick. This was hosted by the Order of Malta. During the mass Claire received the sacrament of anointing in preparation for her upcoming surgery. This was a unique opportunity for us to be in solidarity with others who suffer, as well as those who care for them, and experience the strength and purpose of suffering. Each of those who were anointed participated with the suffering of Christ. Bishop Cordileone celebrated the mass and eloquently detailed the importance of being spiritually fed and healed as only our Lord can provide in the sacraments. The mass and anointing were unique supernatural opportunities to pray with Claire, and for Claire as she prepares for this very long and painful surgery. The timing of the surgery, the mass at the cathedral and Claire's presence could not be more providential. We are thankful to all for their patience and kindness as we hope and pray that this is the final surgery and healing is achieved through God's grace.
God Bless you all.
Our Lady of Lourdes,
Pray for us.

Our Lady of Lourdes

We are called to believe, above all, in the mystery of God's will for us and for our loved ones. Bernadette Soubirous responded in faith to God's will for her, even though her commitment brought with it much suffering. The story of Bernadette, and the Lesson of Lourdes is that we must always seek, and then accept, the will of God in our lives. Our greatest and most profound experience of the healing comes, not in the receiving the cure which we seek, but in submitting ourselves to the will of God - "Lord not my will, but thine be done." - Taken from the Florentine Patron Saints Collection

Prayer of the Order of Malta

Lord Jesus, Thou has seen fit to enlist me for Thy service among the Knights and Dames of St. John of Jerusalem. I humbly entreat Thee through the intercession of the Holy Virgin of Philermo, of St. John the Baptist and all the Saints to keep me faithful to the traditions of our Order. Be it mine to practice and defend the Catholic, the Apostolic, the Roman faith against the enemies of religion: be it mine to practice charity toward my neighbors, especially the poor and sick. Give me the strength I need to carry out this my resolve, forgetful of myself, learning ever from Thy Holy Gospel a spirit of deep and generous devotion, striving ever to promote God's glory, the world's peace and all that may benefit the Order of St. John of Jerusalem.

Amen

Psalm 116

How shall I make a return to the Lord
for all the good he has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the eyes of the Lord
is the death of his faithfull ones.
O Lord I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your handmade;
you have loosed my bonds.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving
and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
My vows to the Lord I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
In the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem
