Update on Patch the Cat

From Jon:

I give thanks for all your prayers for my cat Patch. Please continue to pray for Patch.

Patch is doing better. Saturday I was not sure if he would last another day on this earth.

Saturday night I noticed something was different. I cannot tell you exactly what but he was just different. I watched him closely and I became convinced he was getting better.

It was hard to go to sleep that night and when I awoke on Easter Sunday I was anxious to see him but confident he would be better.

He was definitely better.

I said nothing to anyone else and just watched him. He was no longer acting sick. He was a little pinker but not a lot - just a little. Sunday before dinner I pulled my wife aside and whispered to her that Patch was better.

I had prayed Saturday to St. Jude and St. Francis, to the Saints mentioned on this sight and to John Paul and Mary for intercession with Our Lord.

I asked John Paul for his intercession because I always saw him as such a sweet and Holy man. I asked the Holy Spirit to heal Patch and prayed that Jesus would have mercy on Patch*.

I give thanks to God for what he has done with Patch. Please continue to Pray for Patch as he still has a ways to go.

One more thing I will tell you. For me, after witnessing this, nothing can be the same.

Bless his Holy Name.

As you can see, prayers have helped Patch to get better.
