Thursday morning in the doctor's office, we were learning about CHOP and R-CHOP, viewing the PET/CT scan on the doctor's computer screen (Cool! Wow! Look at that!). Four of us crammed into a small examining room and one on the cell phone, listening closely and carefully for every note of this Eucharistic prayer. Yes, Eucharistic - thanksgiving. There is hope and relief. Resurrection from this disease is possible. Survival is not only a possibility, it is on the horizon. We can see glimpses of the dawning star that promises another day.
O Lord, holy Father, giver of health and salvation: We give thanks for the news of hope and resurrection, as your holy apostles anointed many who were sick and healed them, so we beseech our Lord Jesus Christ to sustain Mother with his presence, to drive away all sickness of body and spirit, and to give her that victory of life and peace. Amen.
