Please pray for Simon the cat recovering from 11 hrs of surgery after being thrown off a balcony.

Update - Toby the Dog

From Chris:

I have great news! Two days after his surgery the vet in charge at the time thought we should euthanize him. I posted my requests for your prayers and asked for prayers from all my friends and family. I never stopped praying. Then I got a sign. I always wear a cross under my clothes next to my heart. Along with the cross is a leaf pendent for someone who is very dear to me. That night when I went to get ready for bed I looked in the mirror and my cross was on the outside of my shirt all by itself. The next day we got a call saying that Toby was sitting up in his cage all by himself! The vets are calling his recovery remarkable and a miracle. They said his recovery was one for the record books. We have him at home now and he still has to go in for checkups and is on a lot of medication but he is his old frisky self again! He still has the staples in from his surgery and the medicine makes him sleep a lot more but when he's awake he's all over the place getting into mischief. Thank you all for your prayers for Toby and God bless all of you.

Sad News - Geronimo the Dog

"Geronimo"

From Kristina:

...Just want you to know that Geronimo went to heaven on Tuesday. (Oct. 30) My gangly teenager (14 years and 9 months) was the best guy. He won over countless hearts. He was truly ALL love. Nothing was too much for G and gosh, he was so dang much fun! We played, worked, prayed and snuggled together. He always wanted to be where his people were until the very end. We went everywhere together. I can’t think of anywhere in New England that I went that he didn’t. He loved adventure and relished being out in all kinds of weather, so Tuesday evening’s post Hurricane Sandy thunder, lightning and rain was so appropriate. We stood in the rain, lightning and thunder and figuratively and literally soaked it all up. This picture was taken in the parking lot at a local city farm. Ironically, it was just before Halloween and some people thought this was a costume. I had just got him a fleece jacket to stay cozy and warm and I put swimming noodles in the back seat, so his paws wouldn't slip into the corners. Ends up, he looks like he is ready for trick or treating as a gator, dragon, iguana, an over-sized gecko?! I can't thank you and the prayer warriors enough. ALL your love came back to him and that means the world to me. We shall ALL meet in heaven...

Please keep Kristina in your prayers as she mourns the loss of her beloved Geronimo.

She is a beautiful black and white tuxedo cat that is an important part of our family and we have missed her greatly.

Please help us send her love and protection and to bring her home quickly. Thank you for your prayers. Beatrice.

This very humble Dominican lay brother has become well-loved not only in his native Peru, wh ere he is referred to as "Fray Martin" or Brother Martin,  but all over the world.  It is his virtues of humility, obedience, gentleness and compassion that won the hearts of those in his own order. Let us try to imitate San Martincito's virtues and use his exemplary life as a model for our own lives.

Oración

Martín de Porres,
seguidor fiel de Jesucristo,
haz que nos esforcemos en imitar tus ejemplos de unión con Dios por la oración,
de amor universal y de entrega sacrificada y gozosa al servicio de los necesitados,
especialmente de los que más sufren física o moralmente.
Confiamos en tu bondad y sensibilidad por los necesitados y te pedimos,
querido hermano nuestro, que presentes a tu amigo Jesucristo
nuestra petición de auxilio en nuestras necesidades.
Así sea.

Prayer
Martin de Porres,
faithful follower of Jesus Christ,
let us strive to imitate your examples of union with God through prayer
of universal love and offer sacrifice and joyful service of those in need,
especially those who greatly suffer physically or morally.
We rely on your kindness and sensitivity for the needy and we ask
dear brother, that you present to your friend Jesus Christ
our petition of help in our needs.
 So be it.
Amen.

"...Martin's charity toward the poor and homeless was legendary.  He cared for the sick and injured wherever he found them.  He had a special ministry to African slaves.  But he treated sick animals with the same devotion he extended to humans.  Innumerable legends describe his service and communion with creatures of every kind..."

'He was a man of great charity...who also assisted in the larger duty of spreading the Great Love of the world.'
