Fr Zed asks us to join him in prayer for Fr Christensen, a young Priest who is terminally ill with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
From Fr Z's Blog
Update on Fr. Dana Christensen:. He is the young priest who has been struggling heroically with ALS.
More than ever now, pray for him.
Dear friends and family of Fr. Dana:
This is Annie, his sister. Our family wanted to let you all know that Fr. Dana has started his journey home to be with his Heavenly Father. He has been resting comfortably surrounded by family. We are all so humbled and grateful by all of your continued and faithful prayers for Fr. Dana and our family. We ask that you continue to pray for Fr., especially for a beautiful and peaceful passing when the Lord finally calls him home.
God bless,
Annie
Tomorrow I will offer Holy Mass for him and and will, news not withstanding – in fact, because of it – renew my petition to Ven. Fulton Sheen at the request of Fr. Christensen:
Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and by the working of the Holy Spirit. If it be according to Your Will, glorify Your servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his prayerful intercession (mention your request here – [the swift, complete and lasting healing of Fr. Christensen’s ALS]). I make this prayer confidently through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
