A friend's father who I have known for over a decade had a pretty bad stroke yesterday. It sounds unlikely that he will make it through it. Everything is in the Lord's hands as always but if anyone would spare the time to pray for him and ask the Lord and the blessed Theotokos, and all the Saints and Angels to watch over him and if it is God's will that he return to his family well and whole, or at the very least that it is short and painless. Please pray for Benjamin.
