Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our troubles,
so that we can comfort those in any trouble
with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Today, I ask for prayer for Joe Canale and his family. Joe is in a nursing home is Hammond. He’s been sick for a long time. His wife is from Amite and someone I knew from school. I also taught Joe’s son at IHS.
I also ask you to add Gerald McMillan to your prayer list. He is hospitalized following gallbladder surgery and complications.
