He just asks for prayers for his soul..whether God takes him now or lets him live

This is the first time I have ever had him write like this about his health...I think he is very low right now


I will email everyone's messages to him..I don't know if he can manage to answer them

From Br JR

Do not mourn for me yet. I can be haunting these thread for the next 20 years. Just pray for my soul, that whether dead or alive, I may always walk the path that Christ walked and remain faithful to him and as strong as he was in his resistence to temptations. Above all, pray that God may allow me to feel in my body what his son suffered for me on the cross and to love him as he loved me from the cross.

I don't think we should burden him now with having to reply to many inquiries. Instead, let us do what he asks and assist our faithful family member and embrace him during this difficult time.

He needs to know that he is not alone...we are with him - by his side just as Christ is. He's embraced with the passionate faithfulness of a loving and empathetic God and His family.

Assuming we are talking about JREducation, he has mentioned in other threads that he is being treated for cancer.

As he has tremendous devotion to his spiritual father, St. Francis of Assisi, I'm sure he'd appreciate our asking his intercession on Br. JR's behalf.

Praying...

May the strength of the Seraphic Saint, your father Francis, sustain you.
May the wisdom, understanding and knowledge brought forth by Bonaventure comfort you.
And may the simplicity and joy of Br. Juniper bring you a smile in the midst of your suffering.

JR, your presence here at CAF has been of great influence to me. I can't begin to thank you enough and can now only do so in my prayers.

Pace e bene

Deepest prayers for our dear friend who has so selflessly and completely devoted himself to the way of the Lord.
