Prayer for my uncle

Post by Jean-Serge »

I learnt yesterday that an uncle of mine is sick and has been diagnosed gastrointestinal tuberculosis (I did not know it existed but it does). He is not very well, up to now the treatment gives no majer improvement and the symptoms remain.

Priidite, poklonimsja i pripadem ko Hristu.

Lord have mercy.

St. Seraphim of Sarov, intercede to Christ God that he may be saved.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Oh no ! I am so sorry to hear that, Jean-Serge !
Very suddenly, it sounds like. What a shock it must be.

May he rest in peace in the Lord !

Back in the early 1990s, scientists discovered a more virulent type of tuberculosis and leprosy (the two are related). Both types are more drug resistant than the earlier strain.

Lord have mercy.

Were you able to talk with him about Orthodoxy before he died?

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
