Please pray for Jacob that he finds peace and the right path, for Michelle and Gwen that the doctors can help them and for all cancer patients, especially the children. Dear Lord, thank you for all you have done for me.

St. William of Eskilose, Tomorrow we Celebrate Thomas Sunday, a gentle reminder of the proclamation of faith by St. Thomas, the Patron Saint of India. Since you are also an avid admirer of our patron saint, please remember us in your prayers, so that we shall always remain firm in our faith. Thank You!

Dear St. William of Eskilsoe, Though a great reformer, you were kind hearted and you conveyed to others that reformation starts from one's own heart! Please do pray for me.
