My Aunt is faced with cancer and needs an operation. Please ask anyone to pray for her and particularly me to be understanding at this time. She is my Grandmother's only daughter. Also ask people to pray for her son whom met a lady and had a child. The lady's mother is also faced with cancer and an operation.

Father, grant healing to each person in need of it in this situation. Grant as well the grace for each person to do what is prudent, just and charitable. Mother Mary, pray for all involved that they be given grace, peace, strength, guidance and all the actual graces necessary to do God's will. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!
