“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” (John 14:18 )
Jesus, thank you for giving us your Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” Thank you for setting us free from bondage to fear. (See Romans 8:15)
“A little while longer and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.” (John 14:19)
Jesus, thank you for your new life in your Spirit.
Holy Spirit, move through our hearts and minds with your fresh wind and new life.
“At that day you will know that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.” (John 14:20)
Father, thank you for our being caught up in your life with Jesus. Thank you for hold me in your arms.
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; (1 Peter 1:13)
Jesus, reveal yourself more and more to us and bring us to a daily stability in you. Thank you.

Subject: Update on Mother Miriam
Torre and Jean–
Mother Miriam came through surgery today with flying colors. The surgeon reported that the mitral valve repair was successful. She is recovering in the Cardio-Pulmonary Surgery Unit at Albany Medical Center tonight.
Pray for a reduction of pain (normal with this kind of surgery) and that she meet all the milestones through the night and morning hours for release to a regular nursing unit tomorrow. Pray for protection from any “hospital bugs” or other infection that she might encounter in that environment. Pray for complete healing of the trauma of the surgery, as well as of the underlying damage. Pray for the presence of the Peace of God to fill that room — with all its medical protocols, clanging alarms and whirring equipment — that she might rest in the healing grace of Christ. The Sisters of St. Mary are grateful to each of our Albany Diocese friends who are praying with us for Mother Miriam’s recovery.
