With her help (and the help of many others!) I have prayed and prayed and prayed for him. Slowly, but surely, he is coming around. We haven't stopped our prayers (and won't.) I am very much comforted by having her help.<br /><br />Yours in Christ,<br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-42002800064606475492011-12-14T13:45:12.296-08:002011-12-14T13:45:12.296-08:00As to the patron saint for test taking, I suggest ...As to the patron saint for test taking, I suggest St. Joseph of Cupertino. When being tested for Holy Orders he was asked the only question for which he had studied, and was able to answer it so well the Bishop assumed he must be a genius.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912627735649593985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-90821111080158702902011-12-14T13:07:47.475-08:002011-12-14T13:07:47.475-08:00Dear Sister: Could you please explain the origin ...Dear Sister: Could you please explain the origin of some more obscure carols. Good St. Wenseslaus, I Saw Three Ships, Holly and Ivy, Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella...they all seem religious but they are a far cry from the nativity scene and Silent Night. They are lovely though.

We are grateful that his struggle and suffering are over. I have been reluctant to pray lately as I can't seem to see any purpose to it since praying didn't cure him of the cancer. I hope I get over it soon.<br />I am grateful to you for your prayers and for the prayers of your readers. I ask that you all pray for his parents, sister, wife and son.<br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
