Pope Francis is seen to have developed a cold and maybe a cough. Could he possibly have contacted the dreaded Coronavirus. It makes that handshake incident at Christmas time with what appeared to be a Chinese lady a scary incident. And met her later privately to apologise. Just had a thought. I wonder how many people will pray for a speedy and full recovery for poor Holy Father after all the shinanakins with what he may or may not have said or meant or done, over the last few years. Dear Lord Jesus, You created Pope Francis and have walked with him every step of the way throughout his life here in exile. You endured unspeakable suffering to atone to God Most High for every thought, word, deed or omission poor Holy Father made, good, bad or indifferent throughout his life. You know my Merciful Jesus poor Holy Father is just as weak and vulnerable as I in the face of the evil one, who seeks to destroy every precious soul You have created and died in agony on the Cross to Redeem. Have Mercy on Holy Father, preserve him so he can complete the mission Heavenly Father planned for him here in exile. I humbly petition You dear Lord through the powerful intercession of Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your tender mother and mine. Amen.
Beautiful prayer Julia. I have been praying for his physical and spiritual health and entrusting him to Our Lady.
I've been praying for him. I don't fancy his chances. In his eighties, and has only one lung as far as I recall
If he does turn out to have it, what a remarkable sign. That the pope who allowed the Catholics of China to be thrown under the bus should then contract a killer virus coming directly from that very country... I shudder to think. I am praying for his conversion and the salvation of his soul, every day.
I pray for him and offer up my sufferings for him every day, specifically that he would repent and believe, dwell in and die in a state of sanctifying grace, and be saved. And that if he refuses to repent and believe, that he and those advancing his heterodox agenda would, through the Mercy of God, be confounded.
Yep. That's my prayer too. "If their hearts csnt be changed then please neutralize them so they cant do any more harm."
I pray for Pope Francis every day. Since word came out that he has a cold, I've added some prayers that he will be restored to good health.
As far as the Holy Father is concerned, may God's Will be done. I leave him in the hadns of a Jsut and Merciful God. Prayers. He had an operation to have part of his lung removed when he was young and is 83 years old. He looked from the pictures like he was running a high temp. If he has it he has probably passed it right round the higher echelons in the Vatican he appointed to high office. So prayers for them as well. I would wish no one to wind up in hell. So prayers. It takes me to grit me teeth more than a little. But prayers.
No one could have dreamed this up last October when Sr Agnes received the message about ashes and penitential rosary. We were all thinking about the meaning of it and talking about it with one another, but we did not know about this!
I wonder if Our Lady told Sr Agnes the details? Its exactly the same as at Fatima beofre the SPanish Flu..the angel with the flaming swrod about to fall.
Reading between the lines I think the Holy Father may very well have had some kind of conversion experience. It is very late in the day, but I suspect he had. All those prayers.....
with this I agree. I was thinking about this yesterday. That God has done something to him. There are prophecies that he will convert and (and logically his friends of liberation theology will left him alone, so he will experiment what is to suffer like a real Pope, at this point God can take Pope Benedict because Francis is wake up and will act like a real Pope.)
Yes, wonderful. But there are two graces. The grace of conversion and then there is the grace to set things right. He has done such very,very grave damage indeed. But I am glad he may avoid hell; I am very glad of that. Being a great sinner myself I do have sympathy. I think the Holy Fathers Days on Earth are fast closing. Setting things to rights again may not be in his pwer to give. God is Merciful; but He is also Just.
