My Prayer for You!

I was laying down today for my daily nap and felt the urge to pray for all of you. The scripture came to mind about the four people who brought their paralytic friend to Jesus to be healed. They carried him on a mat which created many difficulties....the busy, crowded streets, finally making it to the place where Jesus was only to find it packed full, having to figure out a way to climb up onto the roof, making a hole in it to finally lower their friend before Jesus. It was a busy day for them! I am sure though, as they watched their friend be healed that their lives were also touched. Jesus even commented about the faith of the man's friends as he healed the him!

So many people, on a daily basis, are carrying me to Jesus in prayer. Asking for my healing. Some are going to great lengths and overcoming many obstacles in order to do so. This weekend I was moved to tears by the story of one woman's decision to not have an epidural during labor and how she offered her contractions as a prayer for my healing! Another woman thanked me for helping her grow in her faith because she has decided to pray the rosary everyday for me. She shared how she didn't know how to pray it when she started but is starting to learn - and for that she thanked me. I was so blessed by this.

Everyday I receive mass cards, spiritual bouquets, words of encouragement and I am so blessed by them all. Thank you! It is you and me in this scripture verse....we are on a journey together and Christ wants to touch both of our lives in the process. I am praying for you daily and know that great things are in store for all of us!
