From Dr. Ed Peters, who left the following comment on a previous post:
Given the interest in +Sheen here, may I ask readers to remember Paul, a 37-year-old father of 7 in our parish, with Stage 4 cancer? He and his family have a great devotion to Abp. Sheen (their youngest son is named Fulton) and, overnight it seems, they really, really, need prayers urgently.
Yes, absolutely. Please say a prayer for Paul and his family.
"O Christ, You are prompt to defend us: now quickly visit your suffering servant, Paul. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, deliiver him from illness and bitter pain; cure him that he may sing hymns to You and continually praise You, for You alone love mankind. Amen!"
Amen to Carl's prayer.

Thanks so much, folks. They are a remarkable family, wise beyond their years, and a source of ready good example for their parish and friends. This has all come on terribly, terribly suddenly for them.
They are invoking in a special way +Sheen. Personally, I'm invoking anyone I can think of.
Thx again, Carl.

I'm praying for this brother in Christ and his family, and specifically, asking for St. Jude's intercession for Paul's healing and recovery.

From far away India and from a family of 15, assurances of constant prayers for Paul and for his family. I shall pray especially to Archbishop Fulton Sheen (a great favourite of mine) for a miracle.
God bless Paul and all the family.
