We just received word from one of our longtime employees (now retired, a steadfast volunteer) that her daughter's unborn baby has a 1% chance of surviving in the womb. There is insufficient amniotic fluid, and ultrasounds indicate that the baby may have no bladder and some kidney problem. The young family was so happy to be expecting a second child; the father is devastated. Please pray for them, their unborn baby and their toddler, who is now with Grandma for a few days.
They are all counting very much on prayer.
Here is a prayer for the intercession of our co-foundress, Ven. Mother Thecla Merlo:
Most Holy Trinity,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
we thank you for the singular gifts of light, grace and virtue which your granted to Sister Thecla Merlo, and we thank you for having constituted her the wise mother and sure guide of the Daughters of St. Paul.
Through her intercession, grant that we may live of her great loves: Jesus Master in the Holy Eucharist, the Church, the Gospel and souls, souls sought and served through evangelization with the instruments of social communication to the point of total sacrifice.
O Lord, if it be in the designs of your divine wisdom, carry out even on this earth, for this very devoted Daughter of St. Paul, your divine promise: "If anyone serves me, my Father will honor him."
Exalt this faithful Servant to the joy of the Church and the good of many souls and grant us, through her intercession, the favor we ask of you. Amen.
(Glory Be... Hail Mary...)
