Fr. Bede And Fr. Andrew

[Fr. Antony Maria OSB]

Hey everyone, please keep Fr. Bede in your prayers. He is one of the older monks at the monastery which runs my school, and a very holy man. He had a stroke sometime between Wednesday and Friday, and is about 90 years old. He seems to be doing fine except he can't talk very well.

Also please pray for Fr. Andrew, another one of the elderly monks. He just got back from Lourdes a couple of days ago, but, in his words, "Didn't get the miracle I hoped for yet." He has a lot of heart and blood problems, and the medications he's on are affecting his brain oddly, so he isn't doing too well. Fr. Andrew was my Latin teacher for two years, and never gave up for anything: he was teaching first period the day after he had two heart attacks, so you know that when he says he isn't feeling well, it is bad. Thank you very much for your prayers.

May God bless and protect you always in all of your endeavors!

Your Brother in Christ,

Joe
