Prayers for Uncle Skip & Family

The Diurnum service at Noon always has an extended time for silent prayer after we finish chanting the Psalms. I always try and bring a list of prayer concerns along to the monastery for use during this time.

On my way up I received word that my uncle was being brought home from the hospital and is expected to pass within the next few days. These vigils are always hard to endure - especially during the holidays. So my prayers today are for God to be with Uncle Skip and his family.

I lit a candle for him....
