From Father Sudano’s letter of January 21. When I was doing bedside nursing I mostly took care of people who had had heart and chest surgery, and it was not unusual for elders to take a while –like weeks and weeks — to fully wake up after surgery, especially if they were frail or had… Continue reading Father Groeschel’s waking up

An update on Karen Marie Knapp
Karen Marie Knapp has been hospitalized since before Christmas. She’s in subacute now. Her family has been posting occasional updates in her comments box, and now there’s an address posted at Mr Serafin’s place if you’d like to drop her a line. Thanks to Steven for the heads-up.

Specific Prayer Requests for Father Groeschel
Father Glenn Sudano posts again on Father Groechel’s condition, with specific prayers and requests for works of mercy and piety. Sounds like they were able to set the fracture in Father’s arm yesterday, but that tomorrow will be a crucial prayer day: they may be setting the break in his leg, and implanting a device… Continue reading Specific Prayer Requests for Father Groeschel
