Thomas. You are so right. I have MBC since 2024. And I am still here because of my Faith praise God and a caring oncologist who has me on the right meds and a caring spouse and family. I have tremendous anxiety about my next PET scan scheduled Wednesday because of a recent uptake in my markers. But I surrender to Jesus and I know he will see me through and heal me. Through the intercession of my Saints and Blessed Mother. Please pray for me and everyone in our community for continued healing and courage.

Dear Jane D, There’s a couple of things I would like to address with you about your post.. Let me start by explaining what I’ve learned over time.. I was raised by a devoted catholic family who daily prayed the rosary, to the Blessed Mother and even the stations of the cross.. I attended a catholic school when I was young and read the bible from cover to cover.. Some people may not agree with what I’m about to say but so be it.. From an early age I started questioning everything the church taught starting with not eating meat on Friday to that’s alright now you can eat meat on Friday.. Big red flag for me.. Along with so many other things.. But going by the words Written in Red no where is it written in the Good Book about praying to Our Blessed Mother or for that matter any other person or saint.. NO where is it written period, on this contrary the only prayer Our Lord told us to pray is the Our Father.. ❗️ Written in Red Jane.. Just like when I read your post I prayed to Our Lord for guidance and clarity to reply to you.. Here’s what I have to say; Jane Please release All of your anxiety and fears to Our Lord and Savior, forget about your doctors and family for the moment and concentrate on yourself.. I’m not saying to ignore them just put them aside for now.. From the moment you wake up till you lay down to sleep pray 🙏 to Jesus Christ and no one else Jane.. For he is ultimately the only one who can bring you peace comfort and healing.. He is the only one who can (as written in Red) can do the impossible and bring us to the Father in Heaven.. As He stated in the book of Revelations, Whoa unto the churches for I see what you do.. Keep that thought in your mind Jane when you pray.. I’m praying to Our Lord Jesus to give you strength wisdom and guidance from this day forward.. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ I pray this for you Jane.. My God Bless you and heal you Amen Thomas

🙏

Amen 🙏

Thomas is correct. Direct connection to Jesus Christ gives us peace. I have been diagnosed with stage four invasive lobular cancer spread to the bones. I’m in maintenance not cure. Jesus is my all in all. He says the story is not over. All of us are on a journey, and I choose to take Jesus with me on my journey to help direct my path I have no fear that’s only a gift from God. My prayers are for each one of you brave Cancer warriors. There’s no disease like this. It wants to linger and capture you don’t let it. It does not have the final say your creator does.

Preach on Brother. Couldn't agree more.

Amen🙏🏾

Amen…..

I believe that I have the Holy Spirit in me

Amen! Thanks for reminding us of what God can do for us, even though we’re undeserving!

Amen

Amen

God bless you Thank You Thomas🙏🏽

Amen!

Thank you to all who have responded to my posts.. It’s difficult for some to understand what we’re going through right now.. I hope and pray for everyone to find peace in Our Lord and Savior.. We have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain by trusting in His Word and Love for us.. Do NOT worry, do NOT fear, let go of your past mistakes and ask Him for forgiveness.. For he died on the cross for our salvation. Amen God Bless you all Thomas O

Amen 🙏. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Amen!

Thomas, Catholics worship God and "intercede" to Mary and the saints to ask God for favors. Look up the word "pray": to beseech, implore, hope, request. We can use all the help we can find and we may find comfort through our journey

Dear Lisa L, Let me start by saying I was raised by a devout Christian family and attended catholic school in my early years. As I aged I started to question all that I was taught and found myself questioning of what was wrong with the way I looked at the Good Book.. There was nothing wrong with the book Lisa but rather what I was taught by the church.. To many contradictions to many changes to fit the day’s narratives and only for the benefit of the church.. I am in NO means questioning your faith or belief Lisa just trying to enlighten you on certain aspects. In the 80’s I made a trip to the Vatican and saw firsthand what was preached by the church.. I was shocked to see the way we were being taught by those who were in power of so many millions of people.. I realized it then what a chapter/verse in Revelation meant when the Lord said Whoa unto the churches for I see what you do.. Written in RED.. is what I’ve come to believe in Lisa.. In Matthew the Lord talks about those praying in repatriation, like the rosary for instance, and He states that they pray in vain and in Red He says pray the Our Father..Put your faith in the Words written in Red.. You DON’T need intercession when you pray 🙏 directly to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.. For through Him is our only salvation Lisa and by His Grace shall we be saved.. One last thing for now, only in the past decade or so has attention been brought to the MISSING chapters of the bible which the church leaders left out of the bible and WHY because it DIDN’T FIT THEIR NARRATIVE.. Look into it and educate yourself.. On this Sunday morning i pray to Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior to hear the cries of his servants and pray for the healing of His Blessed hands to touch each and every one of us us. Amen Thomas O

AMEN!!!

Yes, Thomas, of course we always pray to God first. He is our Lord and Savior. There are very many disturbing truths about the Catholic Church. Many are quite evident and many are hidden. One day it will all come to light. In the meantime, my rosary gives me peace...and hope. We all must deal with dreadful disease in our own ways.

🙏 Amen
