Need Prayers.

Yesterday at 12:46 PM, tiny Jonah Christian was born, weighing only 2 lbs. 7 oz. He is my niece's baby boy. He was due in July. His mother was hospitalized a few days ago with very high blood pressure. The doctors tried with little success to bring it down, and yesterday the doctor finally decided to take the baby through C-section because the high blood pressure was so hard on both baby and mommy.

Jonah is in NICU, and will be there for awhile. His mother will stay in the hospital for a few more days. I'm sure the baby is going to be okay, but my heart aches for his parents, and for my little sister, his grandma. I know they are terribly stressed.

Please pray that Jonah's lungs will develop, that he will be strong and healthy, and for peace of mind for everyone who loves him. Thank you.

Prayers for the little angel and his family..

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

PRAYER OF ST. GIANNA BERETTA MOLLA


Jesus, I promise You to submit myself to all that You permit to befall me,
make me only know Your will.
My most sweet Jesus, infinitely merciful God, most tender Father of souls,
and in a particular way of the most weak, most miserable, most infirm
which You carry with special tenderness between Your divine arms,
I come to You to ask You, through the love and merits of Your Sacred Heart,
the grace to comprehend and to do always Your holy will,
the grace to confide in You,
the grace to rest securely through time and eternity in Your loving divine arms.
