This is precious.
A Catholic nun prays for a baby in critical condition who was recently baptized following the death of the baby's mother during childbirth.
Crazy story:
Was approach by a woman, a nurse, who told me this story in tears this weekend.
She was in the operating room.
There was a 17 year old kid brought in with multiple gunshot wounds. The medical team scrambling to save his life. His mom was standing by in the waiting room.
The nurse asks if she can play a rosary on the app with Jonathan Roumie.
Doctor says the kid needs all the prayers he can get.
They do everything they can but the young man flatlines.
They do chest compressions. They try everything.
But ultimately the doctor steps back and calls time of death.
7:24pm
The doctor goes to inform the mom.
Jonathan’s rosary is just now finishing the final prayers.
The mom comes in.
Jonathan closes the rosary ‘In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen’
Just then - they hear a beep on the machine.
The doctor looks at the nurse:
‘What did you do??’
Nurse just shakes her head and points to the sky.
The kid’s heart had restarted on its own. He is alive today.
All glory and honor to you Lord Jesus Christ.
Father Goyo Hidlago of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles shared a prayer entitled, “Prayer of a Prodigal,” which he recited alone in the chapel during his “journey back home” to the Church.
He often encourages fallen-away Catholics to return to the Church without hesitancy, because "God is waiting" and "will forgive you."
Prayer of a Prodigal by @FrGoyo
Lord,
Give me the strength to take the next step, to follow the way that leads to you
In my daily circumstances.
Even when things don’t go the way I want,
Even when I don’t know how to talk to you,
Even when I don’t feel you,
Even when I am convinced you are not there,
And especially when I am about to give up.
With your strength, I know I can
Find my way to you.
And loving you,
I can hope and trust that you will always heal
What is so broken in me.
Amen.
