Feast of Saints Simon & Jude – 28 Oct 2017 – 34th Street Hospital Area

September 19, 2019

Mary Cole, her nine year old daughter Sinead and I attended the 8:00 AM Mass at Saint Christopher’s parish on the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, which we immediately followed up with the sacrament of reconciliationbefore heading downtown to Children’s Hospital and HUP. When we arrived, the weather was bright, sunny and seasonably cool, and within a few seconds of sezzztting up our stand, found a family waiting outside that looked like they needed prayer. We rarely had more than a two minute break between encounters, and met many loving people who were anxious over the condition of their loved ones in the hospital. Despite the sad circumstances, we were very encouraged by how open most people were to intercessory prayer, and we gave away dozens of medals and other religious materials. Some of the stories were heartbreaking, and we ask that you remember in your prayers the following people:

Solomon – a premature boy in CHoP’s NICU.
Elizabeth – a premature girl in CHoP’s NICU.
Michael – a 55 year old man who likely requires spinal surgery
Anke – a 75 year old woman who has been battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia since August
Anthony – a teenager struggling to get better grades in school
Katie – a woman in HUP for heart bypass surgery
Sean – a 34 year old man who has been battling brain cancer for three years and has developed pneumonia from aspirating his vomit. His parents and 22 year old sister are faithful parishioners of Holy Name Parish, and their 18 year old daughter was killed in a car crash on the night of her senior prom back in 2007.
Sierra – an 11 year old girl in CHoP with emotional disorders, and who thinks that God does not love her
