Dear sisters, I would like to ask you for your prayer for deep healing of my soul very deeply hurt by my previous sinful life. Many years after my conversion and living with Lord, my soul is still very strongly bound up with evil lies about my unworthiness of God, I am not able to fully trust in God’s love for me. I am so exhausted of this terrible inner torture. Please pray that the Lord heal my whole life, that I could experience with my whole heart His infinite love and mercy for me also in my past sins. God bless you for everything! MB, January 31, 2012.
Perhaps you could spare a prayer for my cousin Mehgan, who was terribly burnt, and now has no face, and her fingers have been amputated to the knuckles.

Dear friends who know and walk with the Lord, please kindly keep in prayer Mary, an elderly family friend Cancer Patient who is now at "C4" and will shortly take her leave of her temporal life as she will go onto the Lord.

For these requests, I am immensely grateful. - MPS, Windsor, ON, January 12, 2012

Kindly pray for the continuing recovery of my mother, Eloise. On Saturday, May 28, at the age of 86, she suffered a severe heart attack and was transferred by helicopter to an excellent, local heart treatment facility. The following morning she underwent open-heart surgery. Her doctors and nurses are amazed at how well she is doing just now. However, she despises all religion and thinks God has failed her. Perhaps now, and with our prayers, she will re-think her opinion of God, the Giver of life, health and recovery. Thank you all. - R.C., Garland, Texas, May 31, 2011. Update: Kindly pray for my mother Eloise (age 86) as she has developed additional and new serious health problems. Thank you.- R.C., Texas, December 31, 2011.

Please pray for us, dear Sisters, for I think your voice is sweet to Jesus. I am in the middle of my prayer to Blessed Josaphata, pleading God to grant me and my mother our earthly request. I feel so numb at times, but I am comforted for I present my prayers to Him, yet as I am a worldly person, I dare think your prayers might draw the Mercy of God towards me and my mother even better! For my gratitude when Jesus grants me and my mother our earthly petition, I dare say, with you, Sister or Sisters, as my witness for or against me before the Holy Judge, I will give shelter, food, comfort, smiles, clothes, and bodily healings to some of the abandoned and suffering Jesus’s of Lvov, Ukraine. Thank you for your charity. - AL, September 12, 2011.

Dear Sisters, please remember, in your prayers, all the members of SSMI, who have had such an impact on my growing years, both in the Ukraine and in Canada.

I also want to thank all the Sisters that knew and loved my aunt, Sr. Josaphata, for the joy you gave her during her years in your order.
