They are doing well. Grayson turned 3 on the 29th of June. He had a big party and got lots of goodies. He understands birthday parties this year. He is my little man and I am expecting him here in about an hour. By 6 PM I will be worn out

Thanks for all the prayers. I attribute his miraculous healing to Blessed Carlo Acutis, who I have asked to be Grayson's guide and protector.

Upcoming Novena for the intentions of Semper fi members and their families

July 30 - the 14 Holy Helpers

The Fourteen Holy Helpers were a group of saints invoked with great fervour during the Black Death in Europe from 1346 to 1349.

These great saints individually were patrons and patronesses of various maladies, and each had developed a large and devoted following over the centuries.

It was understandable then, during the plague, that the faithful turned to their intercession before the throne of God.

In 1969 this feast was removed from the Roman Calendar, the 14 holy helpers remain saints of the Church, even if for some, historical evidence of their lives is scant.

The 14 Holy Helpers are:
St Achatius - May 8 - headaches
St Barbara - Dec 4 - fever, sudden death
St Blaise - Feb 3 - ills of the throat
St Catherine of Alexandria Nov 25 - sudden death
St Christopher July 25 - plagues, sudden death
St Cyriacus: Aug 8 - temptations
St Denis: Oct 9 -headaches
St Erasmus (Elmo): June 2 - abdominal maladies
St Eustachius (Eustace): Sep 20 - family trouble
St George: Apr 23 - protection of domestic animals
St Giles (Aegidius): Sep 1 - plagues, good confession
St Margaret of Antioch; July 20 - safe childbirth
St Pantaleone: July 27 - physicians
St Vitus (St Guy): June 15 - epilepsy

[Denise]

AWESOME! May God bless you!
