A Message from the Editor
The word cancer has a different meaning to those who have cancer and those that love them than it has for others. The coronavirus plague has had a profound impact on cancer patients. They are among the most vulnerable - especially the children with cancer for whom Pope Francis is quoted in this issue. The fear of being infected with Covid-19 has kept thousands away from critical therapy and from the medical care that could diagnose and treat this malignancy.
Alwin Rex a friend of mine in India has a rare form of cancer and needs money for his critical medicines. Please send a donation of $10.00 or more to his PayPal link : https://www.paypal.me/AlwinRex
I thank all of the people globally who gave been praying for my sister Sandra Nary who has Covid-19 especially the children in The Philippines.

A Quote to Remember
“Your journey in life is a bit difficult, dear children, because you have to get treated and overcome the disease or live with the disease. This is not easy,”
by Pope Francis
Special Prayer
A Prayer to St. Peregrine for Sick Relatives and Friends
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The Wonder Worker" because of the numerous miracles which you obtained from God for those who have turned to you in their need. For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being.
You turned to God when the power of human beings could do no more, and you were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal your affliction. I now ask God to heal these sick persons whom I entrust to you
Aided by your powerful intercession, I shall sing with Mary a hymn of gratitude
to God for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.
by Lourdes Sanctuary of Our Lady
Prayer for an Oncologist
Good and gracious God we ask you especially to take care of oncologists. Their work in helping people get well demands a great deal. They often need to teach and explain chemotherapy please assist them Lord. They oversee and coordinate oncology treatment please bless them Lord. They specialize in the use of medications, please bless them Lord. The oncologist often coordinates care with radiation and surgical oncologists please bless them Lord. The radiation oncologists use high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells please bless them Lord. The radiation can be given as curative treatment, or in combination with chemotherapy and surgery please bless them Lord. The oncologist meets patients with incurable cancers and needs to find other solutions please bless them Lord. All oncologists need specialized training in order to treat pain and other symptoms of cancer, please bless them Lord. We ask you this through Christ our Lord Amen.

A prayer for those with the coronavirus in nursing homes
Visiting
Oh Father, it is true we no longer visit those in care
But we remember those we know are there:
Whether once a nurse, a writer, a mother
A teacher, a priest, a doctor-social-activist
Members of a circus now using the zimmer
When once they flew and leapt and danced,
And those unknown but known to you who
Sleep, or weep or go about quietly, pausing,
Forgetting, going back to and forth –
And we beg you to be with each of them;
Oh Father, it is true our children no longer visit
But we share the memory of coming and going
Of running to and fro and finding the people we knew
Of avoiding bumping and bouncing into others
And taking a picture-card, telling news or simply
Listening, talking, as children do, about this and that
And learning of very different times and lives
Whether here, there or elsewhere or further away
Of interests sometimes past or wholly present –
And we beg each guardian angel to be vigilant;
Oh Father, it is true we do not know when we can go again
And sometimes we pass where once we could call
Recognising the entrance and the difficulties within
Imagining the struggles to help and heal as weaker
We know, each one grows with the passing of time
And those once so free to roam now resting,
Possibly, before their final parting and last breath
Hopefully comfortable, ready to leave, to fly
Even if unplanned and at an unexpected time to leave –
And we beg the saints to remember them.
Oh Lord, Jesus Christ, I often fell asleep when I went
Or drifted to the television and joined in the silence
Wishing to be elsewhere, talking to someone else
Or leaving before the time to sing the song
Before meals that embarrassed us but was a blessing
To those who listened, smiled and clapped –
Forgive us and renew our going out to others again
Whether old and young together, educating each other,
Sharing lives and experience, helping in being helped
And helping in being able to help another;
Oh Lord, Jesus Christ, our children sat alone and eat the biscuits
Or skipped too soon to roll down the sloping grass
Or sat in clumps beyond the full but quiet rooms
Or chatted to each other, behind a chair, sneaking out,
Or took a book and read instead of reading to others
Or were absorbed in the scrolling screens –
Forgive us and rouse us to see the needs of others
Whether known to us or too far from those who know them,
Or abandoned, neglected or overlooked in the busy times
Of day that need the simple grace of being noticed now;
Oh Lord, we had our favourites and failed to talk with many,
Sat alone and reluctantly stirred, were slow to see
Those without visits, rocking or repeating questions,
Statements, gestures, worries, or troubles, whether
Recent or remote and let slip many moments between
Words and observations and ways of starting up again –
Forgive us and help us to find you in the presence of others
Whether rich or poor, worn out or bright, or sitting in the long
Silence of slowly subsiding, crumbling minds, alive and lonely
In the isolation of being hidden in the routines of the day.
Oh Holy Spirit, Lord of Life and Love, pass among us,
And multiply the many acts of human kindness that
Are fruits of Jesus Christ, delighting the Father, adorning
The day like spring-fresh buds and the blooming of flowers;
Oh Holy Spirit, Lord of Life and Love, pass among us,
Reconciling us to one another, to our families, to the life
We have lived and the love poured out, wisely or not,
Raising a blessing, like a sunset unveiling gold from heaven;
Oh Holy Spirit, Lord of Life and Love, pass among us,
Inspiring new ways to help us with all the challenges
Of illness, care, finding cures and managing today,
Refreshing old investigations and breaking new ground;
Oh Holy Spirit, Lord of Life and Love, pass among us,
Renew again the vocation to serve, going beyond our fears
To the many verges of the world, whether near or far,
Giving life to dried out hearts and deserted lives;
Oh Holy Spirit, Lord of Life and Love, pass among us,
With Jesus Christ, His Holy Mother and innumerable
Disciples and witnesses, gathering the gifts of praise,
Lifting our hearts heavenward, helping us into the company of
God the Father the Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
Amen.

PIMS Prayer*
*PIMS stands for pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome.
“I know that the LORD is great,
Our Lord is greater than all gods.
Whatever the LORD wishes
He does in heaven and on earth.
He struck down Egypt’s firstborn,
Human and beast alike,” (Ps 135)
O Lord, how could you?
How could You strike these your innocent infants?
Why must they suffer joined with your adult children?
Still, we must remember the words of Jesus, your Son.
“Let the children come to me and do not prevent them.”
Your Son Jesus invites them as he invites all.
Rich and poor,
Adult and child.
Seniors and infants alike.
O Lord, by your suffering,
By their suffering,
By our suffering,
May we renew and strengthen our faith
As we remember your promise:
“ …the kingdom of God belongs to such as these”
by Father David O. Brown, O.S.M. Profiles in Catholicism
Prayer for the six Jesuit priests who died at a Manresa Hall
Father of light and life,
as we grieve the passing of six priests of the Society of Jesus
at Manresa Hall in Philadelphia,
may we remember the blessing that they and so many others have been to your Church.
Deepen our gratitude for the service that comes to us from dedicated men and women who serve your people in the Church and in the world.
Rekindle in us a sense of responsibility to continue the mission they fulfilled.
Grant them the reward of their labors and eternal rest in you.
by Father Louis Cameli Profiles in Catholicism
A Prayer for Demetrius Townsel Jr.
A child is killed a life is gone
we share the grief and pray that justice will be done
we love the right and reject the wrong
Jesus help us ban every gun.
Most precious is the child above all others Jesus said
His life was taken, yet his spirit lives
and he has risen from the dead,
and so too will Demetrius live again
in the presence of the Lord
and his spirit will be with us and to eternal life has soared.
Lord embrace and welcome him and strengthen his friends and family
Lord may truth and goodness bring justice, peace and right,
May we continue to be with You through every day and night.
Amen
