Ava Needs Your Prayers

YOUR PRAYERS ARE NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!

As I write this, Ava is enjoying the first week after making her First Communion last Sunday.

Two years ago, at the request of my brother, I started praying for little Ava, who had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Ava is the niece of my nephew’s wife.

She is five years old and enjoys the love of her large family. But now, little Ava is experiencing the loss of her ability to walk, and the family is asking for prayers.  

Her grandfather, Leonardo Defilippis of St. Luke Productions, is also in need of prayers as he is seriously suffering from lung cancer.  Leonardo is the director/actor of the movies St. Therese, St. John Vianney, John of the Cross, Maxmilian Kolbe, and, more recently, a YouTube release introducing the movie on Augustus Tolton.

Leonardo needs our prayers, too.

Please join us in praying the following intercessory prayer through Venerable Sister Lucia de Jesus of Fatima for the cause of her beatification and the path to canonization, so that she once again draws attention to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

Prayer for the Beatification of

Venerable Sister Lucia de Jesus

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore you profoundly and I thank you for the Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima, that revealed to the world the riches of her Immaculate Heart. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I implore You, if it should be for Your greater glory and the good of our souls, to glorify Sr. Lucy, one of the Shepherds of Fatima, by granting us the grace of a complete healing of Ava and Leonardo, which we implore through her intercession. Lord, you are the Giver of all good things, so we trust in your Wisdom and Love to hear our prayers for these two beautiful souls.

Amen.

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

Glory Be...
