dominicansoul Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I posted this in the prayer intentions, but thought I'd post it here as well. Please pray for Sr. Catherine from the community of the Dominican Sisters of Saint Joseph in England. She lost her eyesight suddenly. The Sisters posted it on their FACEBOOK page and asked us to "pray for a miracle!" For those who remember, Sr. Catherine was LC here on Phatmass. Laetitia Crucis I'm just heartbroken over this!! Please pray! Edited September 10, 2018 by dominicansoul added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please pray! Is her first initial "M"? I hope they are able to determine the cause!! Prayer to Saint Lucy- Patron of the eyes!(for Sr. Catherine) Saint Lucy Whose beautiful name signifies 'LIGHT' by the light of faith which God bestowed upon you increase and preserve His light in my soul so that I may avoid evil, Be zealous in the performance of good works and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and the darkness of evil and sin. Obtain for me, by your intercession with God Perfect vision for my bodily eyes and the grace to use them for God’s greater honour and glory and the salvation of souls. St. Lucy, virgin and martyr hear my prayers and obtain my petitions. Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antigonos Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Prayers, definitely! She's still a young woman. I remember her well here on VS. [The nurse in me wonders whether she's been having any other health problems recently, since a sudden loss of sight without other symptoms is very unusual] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitri Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Did not know her, but that's a shame, I felt bad reading this. If she remains unblessed from eyesight, I pray she finds it in her heart to accept it the same way a Carthusian monk did in the documentary about that order.

AveMariaPurissima Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This post was on the Sisters' Facebook page today: Hello from the fabulous Southampton eye hospital! Believe it or not, I (Sr Catherine aka Sadora Bloom) am actually typing this message! (Thanks be to for Apple's accessibility settings - REALLY BIG FONT! ) Here’s a little update on my sight: As some may know, I have rather complicated eyes, and this last weekend my eye pressure suddenly sky-rocketed while in Liverpool. While in hospital in Liverpool and then Southampton, I have been receiving treatment to lower and stabilise my eye pressure. So far, so good! Because of the pressure and eye inflammation, I have been unable to see anything clearly - everything was extremely blurred and shadowed. - and have also bad great eye pain. Within the last two days, there has been incredible improvement! Sight is still a bit cloudy, but I can see people’s faces again! (So exciting!) I still have to have a very difficult surgery, so please keep up your prayers! I am so grateful for all the prayers, love and support - it’s beyond overwhelming and humbling. God bless you all!

Antigonos Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'd put this in a giant font, but you probably can adjust the font size to read it. So good to read this, Sister! I remember you from your days on VS very well. I wondered if you had an aggressive form of glaucoma -- the nurse in me is always curious about medical detail. Great advances have been made in the treatment through medication and surgery, so one can be cautiously optimistic. If you could send me your mother's first name, I'd happily put a request for a complete recovery in a crack of the Temple's Western Wall, a traditional Jewish practice for those suffering from illnesses or other problems. Keep us updated, if possible. If you are prevented from using your eyes too much, and can have another sister post for you, that's good too. Praying for your complete recovery soon.
