Please pray for John McKenna, a traditional Catholic gentleman who is suffering from numerous severe health problems and is presently in danger of death in hospital. In your charity, please also pray for his family. He is father of four children, two still school-age.

Any news? (I have prayed for Mr. McKenna and his family)

Thank you, Eliz,

Yes, there is news. I spoke to him yesterday on the phone, which was an extraordinary thing in itself. He has made what many consider to be a miraculous recovery and is at home at present. He was definitely given up for dead by the doctors, in a coma, etc. He is still very ill and is not expected to recover further, but who knows? He certainly needs more prayers, and his family. He is grateful for everything but feeling very down and hopeless about this life, which is understandable but not healthy. The devil never gives up, always looking for an angle, always probing.

Wow. Well, then let's get back to work and see if we can encourage the demons to bug off and get some sunshine back into John's heart. He needs some joyful classical music in the sickroom. More prayers coming up.

Dear friends,

My good friend John McKenna passed away in the early hours of Saturday, 25th Feb. Please pray for him, and for the consolation of his family.

He died fortified by the sacraments and the prayers of his loved ones.
