The Shrine

“Mt. Airy” is the familiar name for the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary sitting on a hill above Cincinnati. The shrine had its start in the late 1880s, when Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre bought what was then a country estate for $18,000 and gave it to the Franciscan friars.

Anne and Monica Too many deaths in the last month of family and friends. Ease the tremendous grief and deep sadness/depression. Debbie has had a series of falls,broken bones and more injuries without being able to heal from the last few accidents. She also has to try to manage her husband’s needs - he is probably going into hospice for end of life care. She is in pain, worried and depressed. Sybil’s son is autistic and 26 years old. He has been in and out of the hospital and is still having more tests coming up. He needs healing, and his Mom needs peace.

I humbly submit this prayer request during a period of great personal trial. Currently, I am navigating a season of intense tension and confusion that has left me feeling drained and unable to find a clear path forward. I am seeking the intercession of the Infant Jesus for the following intentions: Mental Clarity and Peace: That the heavy burden of stress be lifted, replacing my confusion with a sound mind and the wisdom to make the right decisions. Health and Vitality: For the gift of good health for myself and every member of my family. Our Children: That my children may grow in grace, develop their unique talents, and be granted a bright, successful future. Candidate: and also passing my candidate in their Israel consulate interview . Divine Protection: I pray for a hedge of protection around my home.... I place my trust in the miraculous grace of the Infant Jesus to restore happiness to our hearts and keep my family safe under His watchful care.
