Our fellow Cursillista, Pam Maisano, is asking for prayers for her mother-in-law, who is dying. "She is a good woman whose faith in Christ has never failed, who was the best mother and friend and who has suffered so much." She asks that we pray for "an easy and peaceful death and that she be received into the light of Christ". Please keep Mrs. Maisano, Mike and Pam in your prayers.

Please lift Matt, Kelly, Taylor and Chris Allen in your prayers this week. Matt is scheduled for his second brain surgery on Wednesday, May 26th at 10:30am, hoping to remove a larger portion of his cancer. His family continues to be an inspiration to all those around them.

I do hope you all remember Bill and Linda Gerber from Woodward Oklahoma. They are Cursillistas. Please keep them in prayer. Hi all, thought you would want to know what is happening with our dear friend Bill Gerber!! As we Pray for one another we hold each other up and feel God's presence and peace!! Love and hugs, Carol Shean God Bless us all!! Hello, Surgery yesterday did not go as well as planned. They removed Bill's left liver lobe and built a new bile duct; but the surgeon found cancer deep in the right lobe that we didn't know was there and the surgeon was unable to remove. (Even the CT just prior to the surgery did not reveal the cancer.) Bill was in surgery six hours. The surgeon told us that they can do radiation that may kill 90 percent of the remaining cancer; and Bill plans to have that radiation. The radiation tx will also be at MD Anderson. After Bill recovers from this surgery (in about eight weeks) he will return here for five weeks of radiation. We hope to tag team him with support while he is here with visits from me, Bill, Daniel and perhaps Bill's brother. Bill is receiving pain medication through an epidural and so is alert and able to visit, though tired. We don't know what options will be available beyond the radiation, but we are both focused on quality of life. We had him up and walking around the nurses station twice today, which pretty well wiped him out. Though I did not have the surgery, I feel mentally and physically exhausted. Young Bill plans to fly down on Friday to give us both some support. Blessings to all of you. Please continue to pray. Linda

An Invitation: Intercessory Prayer Campaign for Fr. Larkin St. Mary Parish is extending an invitation to all interested parties to join in praying for the healing of Fr. Kirk Larkin, aided and abetted through the intercession of Fr. Stanley Rother, Oklahoma priest and martyr, whose cause for canonization is being considered. The intention is to offer prayers and petitions through him on behalf of Fr. Larkin, with the firm hope that Fr. Rother’s intercession in the Church Triumphant and ours in the Church Militant will bring about healing of his brother priest from a life-threatening brain tumor. This endeavor will include a Rosary Novena beginning on June 4th and ending on June 12^th, Fr. Larkin’s Birthday, concluding with a Mass on behalf of Fr. Larkin’s intentions on Sunday, June 13^th. It would, indeed, be wonderful if the parishes in which Fr. Larkin is known and loved would also have a Mass for his intentions on that day. We invite you to include your name in the list(s) of participants by visiting our web site www.stmarypc.com . Pray each day for Fr. Rother’s help, in whatever way you choose; but, for the sake of unity, a written prayer is included for your consideration, the main body of which came from Vicki Gable of Holy Family Church, Lawton, and which has been expanded to include Fr. Rother’s intercession: print version (pdf) O Lord God, our Savior, Who rule over all; who is the Physician and Helper in sickness, the Deliverer from pain, grant mercy and healing to your servant, Fr. Kirk Larkin, who has fallen into affliction and is suffering in injury of body. We pray that our earthly prayers be joined with the intercession of his martyred spiritual brother, Fr. Stanley Rother, so that, calling upon Your Name in faith, Fr. Kirk Larkin may be restored to full health by Your loving kindness and thereby glorify Your divine power and bless Your Holy Name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen If you choose to participate in the Rosary Novena, this prayer can also be included at the beginning or the end of each day’s rosary. When we have completed the Novena, we will send the list and a prayer card to Fr. Larkin assuring him of our continued prayer, support and love. Thanks so much for “signing up” and God bless you all!! *********************************************************** St. Mary’s web site to sign up: www.stmarypc.com** Fr. Michalicka has received permission from the Archdiocese to begin this Novena in this format. For more information you may contact St. Mary’s Church at 580-765-7794.

An update on Steve Hill's brother who was hurt in a farming accident in March. His recovery is much better and faster than first thought and he will have only minimal scaring on his face. I guess it remains to be seen if his lungs are permanently affected. Thanks so much for all the prayers. As you and I believe, they can change outcomes! De Colores. Rosalie Larkin

My son-in-law, Steve Hill's brother, John, was involved in a farming accident. He was badly burned by anhydrous ammonia and is in intensive care. Steve would very much appreciate prayers for John. Steve is a Cursillista.
