Need healing thoughts, prayers, whatever suits my fellow DUers.

[Hepburn]

There is a friend of mine who has a son named Steven. Steven is 19 years old and has been hit with medical problem and illnesses, one after another. Because of a horrific childhood illness, at about age 3, Steven has been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. His mother and father have been devoted to him and have raised on helluva wonderful kiddo. He attends regular high school, excels academically, has had parts in school plays (tailored to him) and has a host of friends, old young and in between.

I got an email from his dad yesterday ~~ they did an MRI on Steven. The MDs think he may have a brain tumor. Whatever healing thoughts, prayers or feelings anyone can contribute, this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. And would appreciate any kicks and recs for Steven to be sure a keep this where it can be seen.

18. Irish Prayer For a sick brother By Dimma, a seventh century Irish monk

http://www.1holistic.com/Spl_prayers/prayer_irish-prayer-for-a-sick-brother.htm

O Lord, holy Father, creator of the universe, author of its laws, you can bring the dead back to life, and heal those who are sick. We pray for our sick brother that he may feel your hand upon him, renewing his body and refreshing his soul. Show to him the affection in which you hold all your creatures.

amen

Please let your friends know that on Sunday, when some of my family & friends come over, we will be doing our sweat lodge ceremony for Steven and his circle.

My older son will be here in a short while, and we are going out to collect rocks. We will be offering prayers for Steven as we select each stone. And during the next 48 hours, as we prepare, we will be offering prayers for him.

I will contact his dad later and let them know about this. Love you, H20...:hug: <----------Mega Hug!
