Please pray for my mom's physical, mental, and spiritual healing. Physically, that she may walk and move her limbs normally. She was faithful to her balance therapy exercises. She said, "I'm going to fight this thing." She wanted to progress although the exercises tired her. Mentally, her long stories and torrents of comments are exhausting her. It must contribute to her dry mouth, and the endless talking keeps her wired up and unable to rest. May the new sleep medicine help her rest, but not take away who she is. We do want to communicate. We will listen to her as long as she wants, but help calm her if the talking flusters her and makes her feel worse. Finally, spiritually, may she receive the Sacraments of the Church. Covid and contintence issues kept her from Mass, but her heart was always there every Sunday. Please, Lord, reward her faithfulness to You by sending a priest to her. She watched and prayed the Mass on tv every week. May the Real Presence of Jesus come to her in the Blessed Sacrament, along with the anointing, to give her spiritual strength, and if God wills it, strength to the body as well. Thank you for my family who show love and concern for each other in so many ways. Thank you for the example of my parents and their love and care for each other for over 66 years. God bless her caregiver Brenda who is gentle and loving towards her in so many ways. St. Barbara, intercede and pray for your namesake, Barbara. Thank you to anyone who may see this and include my mother in their prayers.
Barbara
