Vigil for Jack and Anita

What a gift we are given to be allowed to pray for each other!

So many have given a wonderful gift to Jack and Anita to pray for them in such a focused, intentional, and community way these past 24 hours. The gifts they have given to us are to have allowed us this opportunity and to pray for us in return.

Our Christ, who intercedes for each of us, hears our prayers of heart and word. We plead veni Sancte Spiritus and the Spirit does, and helps us with our utterances. Out of the depth of God's grace and the wideness of God's mercy, our prayers are answered.

Jack told us early on that his faith did not depend upon a miracle but even in this Vigil, I believe that miracles have occurred. You are invited to share your experience of prayer with us. Thank you for your focus during this vigil and for your continued prayers for our beloved Jack and Anita.

Quick Friday Update

Jack is back from the MRI, Anita says. The reading and interpretation of the results won't be til Monday or later, but a number of you have asked how he is today. He's tired out from the day, but buoyed by your overwhelming response in prayer over the past 22 hours. Two hours left and people are still asking to be added!

One person, who had an early,early morning time slot, said it was a wonderful experience for her, praying for Jack and Anita, and she felt like she was carrying them around in her heart for the rest of this day.

Many of us feel that connection and are enjoying sharing our Vigil experiences with one another - through the posts and some people have just shared them in person or on the phone. If you'd like to post, are unable to post, allow me and I'll do it for you -cindyabell@gmail.com

Peace! - Cindy
