Christ is born for us: come, let us adore him!

Christ is born for us: come, let us adore him!

Cristo ha nacido por nosotros: venid, venid a adorarlo!
Cristo è nato per noi: venite, adoriamo!
Christus ist uns geboren: Kommt, lasst uns anbeten!
Rugadh Críost dúinn: teacht, in iúl dúinn le adhair air!

Chrystus narodził się dla nas, pójdźmy z pokłonem! 

 Χριστός γεννάται για μας: Έλα, ας τον λατρεύουν!

He Can Hear (Sorta)

Had a breakthrough from my ear operation.  Until yesterday I had "zero" hearing in the ear that had the eardrum fixed.  BUT YESTERDAY I put on earphones and a tiny sound could be heard in my ear.   Progress!

It was actually freaking me out a bit that I could not hear anything in the right ear.

Blessings,
Tom

Very Frustrated

Well, it is 12:45.  I have been in bed laying in the dark since 9:00 so that I could get sleep to recover from my ear operation.  The medication is causing me to stay awake. 

Well my spiritual life is getting a great boost--I have prayed, listened to Catholic music and enjoyed contemplation.  What I need is sleep because I have to work from 7 AM to 10 PM.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit for Healing.

Come Holy Spirit, heal me from me all sicknesses and diseases. Especially the one that I share with you today_________(Relax, be quiet and be still for short time)

Breath of the Almighty, reinstate vigor to my body & mind.

Also, bestow joyfulness to my life as I await the coming of the Jesus during this Advent season.

Finally, may I use my renewed health to know You better; to love You more and to serve You in ways that give honor and glory to You.

Amen.

Thanks for Support and Prayers

During this adventure with Leukemia, I realize how lucky I am to be part of God's family. In a crazy sense of things, Leukemia is a gift to me. It has let me meet wonderful people and be engaged with fellow people of faith. Thanks for all that you are doing to help me and others.

I need help understanding God's plan for me. I am feeling a gentle push to open a web presence to provide a place for those undergoing pain & suffering of any type. I will keep it all in prayer, of course.

Love,
Deacon Tom
