    Amen.

  • The dominoes are still falling. My brother-in-law is elderly, unwell, and has suddenly lost it completely, mentally. We don't know what's wrong. I'm hoping for a treatable infection. His wife is far gone in Alzheimer's and the children are scrambling to figure out their care. Mr. Lamb is freaking out a bit. Thanks for praying for us.

    O my goodness, LC - you really don't need any more hassle. Prayers ascending for you and all your family.
  • Thank you. We sort of saw it all coming back in spring, but being in the middle of it is no fun regardless. I wish just ONE of my in-laws would live to 100!
  • HuiaHuia Shipmate

    I am thinking about all the homeless people and want to add prayers for them. 🕯

    And prayers for people who can't afford food for their families and have to rely on foodbanks. 🕯

    Prayers for everyone who finds Christmas difficult. 🕯

    Prayers for all the needs posted in this thread, and for all unspoken needs. 🕯

    Prayers for all of us, for God's guidance in how to share his love practically with those around us who may be in need. 🕯
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Yea and amen to all of that, Fineline.
  • Would you pray for R a very damaged teenager who is fostered by a good neighbour of my father B. B, who is a splendid foster parent, is really concerned about her long-term well being due to psychological damage done by her parents.
  • RossweisseRossweisse Hell Host, 8th Day Host
    <votive> For R, and those who care for her
    <votive> Prayers ascending for all in need
  • Praying for all on this thread, recently and in the past weeks.
  • Please add my wife, K , to your prayers.
    Suffering with near constant pain and stiffness in the shoulder and arm muscles on her left hand side. The "normal level" painkillers / gel suggested by a pre-Christmas visit to the GP are not helping.

    She had the same thing last year, which took weeks to clear up. This year she says it is worse, and she's worried about whether she'll get back to work next week as she is unable to drive. (this time last year she was out of work anyway, so that part wasn't an issue)
  • I continue to read this thread and think of you all. I'm finding it increasingly hard to pray these days.
  • 🕯 Praying through
  • 🕯For Nuthatch

    🕯For LC and her family

    🕯For K, and R

    🕯For those mentioned by Fineline

    🕯For people hated and persecuted for their faith, or for their race

    Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers

    Would you please also include us in your prayers? Today is the first anniversary of my husband's death. My loving family is here with me, as they were a year ago, but it feels like a long, hard day to come.

    Please pray too (O Lord! So many needs...!) for the 'migrants' (mostly, AIUI, from the Middle East) recently rescued off, or on, the Kent, UK, coast.

    Jesu, mercy. Mary, pray.

    BTW, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were migrants, too, once they'd left Bethlehem, fleeing from Herod. I wonder if they got interned or imprisoned at the Egyptian border?

    <specially large votive> for Landlubber, on this sad day.

    I see that the flow of migrants (mostly awful Brown People) to Fair Ukland has just been declared a 'major incident' by our compassionate and Christian 'government':

    {{{Landlubber and family}}}

    Prayers ascending for you, and for all who mourn; and for the refugees trying to cross the Channel and for compassion from the Home Secretary* and his staff.

    * This is just a guess, but with a name like Mr. Javid, isn't it possible that at some point his ancestors crossed the Channel to make a better life for themselves in Britain?
  • I think very few of any British Citizen's ancestors got across to UK Land before the flooding of Dogger Land.
  • Heya. Sorry I haven’t been around. I was soldering.

    Thanks for the financial relief concerning Nicolebrotherw’s car.

    For Little Beaky, and for upholding for Mum Beaky.

    For the continued integrity of Jengie Jon’s household appliances.

    For healing generally, and specifically resolution of side effects, for Ross. For pain relief also. And what Landlubber said.

    For repair of the dishwasher chez Piglet. (unloading a dishwasher takes <5 minutes by my reckoning, so I agree, it is not a “chore”)

    For Gamma Gamaliel.

    For upholding and peace of mind for MaryLouise as the festive season blunders to a close.

    Same for Bishops Finger. And healing, soon.

    For the refugees seeking asylum in the US.

    For The5thMary, that’s so upsetting and destabilizing.

    For success for Sarasa’s friend K.

    For the young man that Huia noticed on the bus.

    For those affected by the earthquake in Anchorage. Special mention for Comet. For Ross’s brother and SIL, and niece.

    For Lamb Chopped, and the Chopped family, in the loss of Krissie.

    For Jengie’s J.

    For GG and family, for the soul of Mrs G.

    Thanks and blessings for the improvement in Giraffe’s fortunes.

    For Piglet’s C. and L.

    For the UK, the EU, and the rest of the world. Could You please have a word in Pharaoh’s ear on this matter, Lord?

    For Dad Jon’s needs to be amply provided for.

    (as an aside, may I pray that care for the Telemum never becomes A Problem)

    For leo, for healing.

    For WW.

    For BF’s T to be comforted. For the soul of Father M. For the parish to continue to grow.

    For V and her fellow hairdressing staff in Sheffield, for continued employment with no breaks or insecurity.

    For all those affected by the Lockerbie bombing 30 years ago.

    For healing for Nicole’s cousin L.

    For SusanDoris, for healing.

    For those affected by the tsunami in Indonesia.

    And what Golden Key said.

    For healing for BIL Chopped. For a swift solution for his and his wife’s care. For peace of mind for Mr Lamb. For at least one of the Chopped-In-Laws to live to 100.

    For all those who are poor and don’t even have the basics. In fact everything fineline said.

    For Jengie’s R and B.

    For healing and pain relief, stat, for K Kipper. And for her to be able to get back to work.

    For Nuthatch, with sighs too deep for words.

    For those of us who miss Pete C and Janine.

    For upholding and comfort for Landlubber in her loss.

    For the migrants rescued off the Kent coast.

    I am more appalled by the UK government now than I have ever been. Lord, take away our (and the government’s) hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh. And oh, if we and the government) only had a brain! (even just one shared one would be an improvement)

    Anyway, the Telemum got a letter just before Christmas telling her she was finally going to get an appointment for an angioplasty. This should clear up most or all of her problems. SO HAPPY that she doesn’t need to have a huge risky bypass, too. Thank you, Santa!

    However, she then immediately got diagnosed with an infection and put on antibiotics. There are two problems with this. One, while she has an infection she can’t have surgery. Two, the antibiotics are negating the effects of her painkillers, so she is in great pain all the time.

    And she still has the infection and now has to renew the antibiotics for another WEEK. Another week of pain.

    And while she’s in pain she can’t keep her legs elevated, which makes the circulation worse, which inhibits healing of the infection. There’s a hole in this bucket.

    Please give me wisdom about a thing I have to deliver for work in a couple of days.

    Also, the Finance Monster is snapping at my heels again.

    For Cousin Dearheart, who has a long road of treatment ahead of her. For upholding for her mother, and her brothers and sisters, and her children.

    For B., with knee issues.

    For K. and T.

    For another K.
  • Aaand the Telemum just had her first angina attack since the one she had in hospital, which was the first she’d had in ages.

    This better just be a blip that doesn’t signify anything. And she needs pain relief.

    {{{Telepath}}}

    I am very happy to see you back aboard the Ship, and saddened that the Telemum's (and your) travails continue. Massive industrial-strength prayers ascending.

  • Praying for all in need. 🕯 🕯 🕯
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Prayers ascending from over here too, Telepath, for you and the Telemum.
  • Please pray for our parish priest T, whose husband seems to have had a major breakdown of some kind and has left the house. She has been on compassionate leave since before Christmas, and is returning to work next week, but remains distraught about his behaviour and inability to explain his motivation.
  • MaryLouiseMaryLouise Purgatory Host, 8th Day Host
    Telepath and the Telemum 🕯

    For T and her husband 🕯

  • Praying as I read.

    Thank you for your prayers for us; we had a good day together, helping each other, and as a result have more good family memories stored up.
  • :votive:

    For friends in various difficulties.

    For me: private intentions for the next several days; health; mood; general shoring up.

    Thx.
