The power of prayer! It is magnificent! It is amazing! The Lord Jesus Christ does care and will answer your prayers in His time.

Do you open your eyes to the power of prayer? Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ as all powerful? Do you see what He, Christ almighty has done for you?

This morning as I was suffering from a terrible foot infection, I prayed and asked that my foot be healed and my pain removed. I was sure that Jesus would hear me but wasn't sure when He would heal me. He knew my pain and discomfort. He also knew that when I pray, I place my hopes in His hands. He knows me and accepts me. He heals my illicit behavior.

Low and behold, a man walked into my restaurant this morning and we started talking. He was an employee of a podiatrist within walking distance to my business. He set me up with an appointment to see the Doctor. I met the Doctor and while speaking with Pedro, I spoke of the power of prayer. You see, Jesus Christ, after me asking to heal me, led this Pedro into my shop to talk to me and start me on the road to recovery.

I do believe this is divine providence and that a modern miracle, the power of prayer, was granted to me as my request. I open my eyes to the saving power of Jesus Christ. He does answer.

Today I pray for the repose of the soul of Mother Mary Dorothy of the Holy Spirit.

For 63 years she devoted her life to Christ. She was member of the Poor Clares at the Minooka Monastery.

I had the honor to get to know her when I constructed the infirmary on the Minooka Monastery grounds.

She was a special person.

She will be missed.

My prayer to my Father for the well being of my child. Dear Lord Jesus, please continue to hold my hand as I walk through each dark valley.
