Urgent Prayer Request for My Family

I know there are some prayer warriors who follow this blog, so I'm asking for your prayers.


On Friday my family learned that my brother Nathan has been diagnosed with colon cancer.  Nate is only 19, so it was quite a shock for everyone.

Please keep him in your prayers.  Prayers so often lead to miracles, and even in the absence of miracles, certainly still work to strengthen all those who are suffering.


The type of colon cancer that he has also has a very high rate of cure, so we are thankful for that.


Thank you so much for lifting him up these next few months.  I will keep all of you prayer warriors informed on his progress.

    This page popped up unbidden on my computer. I was ready to delete it but then I glanced at it to see what it was. I will pray for Nate and share this message with others.
    God bless you.

    The Banich Family is praying for Nate, since we learned of his diagnosis on Friday. I have included Nate in my daily prayer to St. Peregrine, the patron saint of cancer patients. Your family lifted me up in prayer when I was diagnosed 2 years ago and we are certainly here for the Hollowell Family now, especially for Nate. And of course, we will pray for the intercession of Pope John XXIII Roncalli for Nate also! God Bless!

    Fr. Hollowell,
    Sorry, I am so late to this news as I had not been to your blog in a while. My prayers for your brother. I had the great task of giving this young man first communion and I will pray for him and your family.
    Peace
    Fr. Joe Moriarty

      Fr. Joe,
      Thank you so much. That means a lot. Thank you for your priesthood, and for your wonderful ministry to my family when you were our shepherd at Good Shepherd!

      Praying for Nathan as he has surgery today. The Sisters of Life and Laura are praying for him as well. Spoke with them this morning and your whole family is in their prayers.

    I am in the 11th hour of a dire situation. My mother had a biopsy done on her pancreas after some abnormalities were noted. Later today (not sure what time) the results will be in. Please pray that God will arise and show HIMSELF strong. Please pray for a miraculous healing for my mother and that the doctors will have a good report. I thank you all for reading this, and for your prayers. They are very much appreciated. God Bless you.
