#StormtheHeavens Praying for Phil’s Healing and Allowing the Lord to Heal All of Us

Screen Shot 2016-10-25 at 6.36.13 AM.png

This adorable young girl is Philomena (aka Phil).

Phil is 7 years old.  She loves soccer and playing with her big brother Mark.  She’s also a great joke teller.  In fact, here’s her joke from yesterday:

What’s a pirate’s favorite letter?

Let’s get back to her joke later.  This post is a request to all reading it – to please say a prayer for Philomena.  

Philomena’s mother, Mina, wants everyone to pray for Phil. Phil’s condition is a stage 4 Glioblastoma on her brain stem. Phil’s mother is a very faithful Christian. Mina believes in miracles.  Mina has inspired thousands of people to pray for Phil and ask others to Pray for Phil.

I first heard a request for prayers for Phil at a mom’s club meeting almost a month ago. After that, I started seeing a few Facebook friends post prayer requests for her.  Then, last night, I saw Philomena’s mother’s words . . . and that led me to do more.  Mina’s faith is inspiring to say the least.  Last night, Mina wrote:

Some will say I’m a “crazy Christian”, and that is okay.

As her Mother I will do whatever it takes to save her. If we lived in the time when Jesus walked the earth, I’d physically carry her to his feet and beg him to heal her. The bottom line: ONLY he can heal her. All of your prayers are helping me carry her to his throne and ask for his healing power. I will never stop praying, and I will never stop asking other people to pray for her. It is my mission to have the entire world praying for her.

I realize that time is your most valuable and limited resource. I am eternally grateful, and forever in your debt, for every single prayer you say for her.

PLEASE, I implore you, DO NOT STOP PRAYING!!

As I read it again, my heart strings are tug pretty fiercely.

What an incredible woman.  What an amazing mother.  What a faithful Christian.

As I continue to talk to Phil’s mom, her friend and reading her updates – since now we are friends on Facebook – I came to see more of the miracle already in progress.

I see posts and pictures with Mina tagged that say things like, “I’m not Catholic, I don’t go to Church, I hardly ever pray . . . but I beg you to pray with me for Phil.  #stormtheheavens”.

As I ask Mina a few more questions about her daughter, I notice she answers a few, but then requests again:

philanddad.jpg“Don’t Stop Praying”

I then assure her that I will pray.

She then requests:

“Don’t Stop”.

Mina quickly reminds everyone to look up to the Lord.  Through Phil, people who have never or rarely thought about prayer . . . are looking up. Maybe they are just starting a relationship with God . . . or maybe they are renewing a broken one – but there is healing.

That healing will and is extending to Phil.

The Sunday after Phil was diagnosed; a prayer service was planned in less than 2 days.  Over 700 people filled the church to pray.

I can’t tell you I have ever seen 700 people in a church.  From the beginning of this incredibly difficult journey for any family, Phil’s mother has looked to the Lord with faith and hope.  She is not kidding about her mission to have the whole world pray for her daughter.  In the past 24 hours I have seen pictures of professional athletes and even a letter from the Pope assuring that Phil is in his prayers.

One way you can pray for Phil is to not only pray a personal prayer, but to also seek the intercession of Maria Esperanza de Bianchini whose cause for beatification and canonization opened in 2010.  The family is hoping a miracle of healing will occur for Phil, and that miracle will lead to Maria’s canonization.  Below is the prayer:

Novena to Maria Esperanza

O great flower of Betania Maria Esperanza
You were left here as our consolation when Padre Pio was called to high glory in heaven
Your smile lit the way in times of trial and despair
Your courage and wiliness to bear in some part the burdens of our Pope gave us hope
Intercede for us Blessed Maria, that we may not falter in our daily trials
and that we may grow in faith and love for our Lord Jesus through the Blessed Mother Mary
Please Maria grant us our petition as we make it known to you here , CURE PRECIOUS PHILOMENA.

The answer to this prayer will require the intercession of a loved and respected servant or our Lady.
You are the servant Maria. Please hear us and grant this petition.
We promise Maria to make known to all the granting of this request and promise to help
Propagate devotion to you in this regard.
Thank you for listening flower of Betania.
Amen.

Say 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, 1 Glory Be.
Maria Esperanza, pray for us.

O Jesus, full of grace and charity, victim for sinners, so impelled by love for us that You willed to
die on the cross, we humbly beseech You to glorify in heaven and on earth, Maria Esperanza of Venezuela, who generously suffered for Your Sake, and loved you so much and labored so
faithfully for the glory of Your heavenly Father and for the good of souls. With this confidence
we beseech You to grant us, through her intercession, the graces which we ardently desire
(mention request)

Then say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be
and conclude by saying: Maria Esperanza, pray for us.

Now, back to Phil’s joke from yesterday:

Phil: What’s a pirate’s favorite letter?

I don’t know, what’s a pirate’s favorite letter?

Phil: You might think it’s R, but it’s the “C”!

You can hear more of Phil’s jokes on the Facebook page dedicated to encouraging prayer for Phil: Storm the Heavens

Please honor Phil’s mother’s request to: Storm the heavens with prayer and

Never. Stop. Praying.

If you would like to learn more about Maria Esperanza, check out this book on Amazon:

The Bridge to Heaven

Learning about Phil is how I first heard of her – now I am curious.

Please leave a comment/prayer for Phil!  The amount of hope it gives her family can not be put into words!!!

      St. John Neuman is the reason my sister is alive and well today! At age 12 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. St. John Neuman As a child visited her one night in CHOP. My mother told her no one was in your room and she said yes it was a little boy. Later that day my Aunt was showing my sister some prayer cards and one was of St. John Neuman As a child and my sister was like that the boy that was here w me last night. That was on a Friday, Monday her MRI results revealed what none of us expected, the remaining tumor that the doctors said was inoperable was gone! She had a 12 hour surgery the week before to remove it but it was to deep in the core of her brain and doctors were going to do radiation. She is 43, with 4 children and is very healthy! Praise the Lord and all his warriors. I pray everyday for Phil! I know God is with her and her family! You have to keep the faith!

    I’ve added this precious child of God to my prayer list.
    Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
    that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
    implored your help or sought your intercession,
    was left unaided.
    Inspired with this confidence,
    I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
    to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

    O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
    despise not my petitions,
    but in your mercy hear and answer me.

    Amen.

Striving for Sainthood can be as simple as this… Striving for Sainthood can be as simple as this… 

This type of advice can be really helpful for all of us… especially for a young girl navigating middle school or her early teens.

This advice would have helped me.
Why?

Because it takes some pressure off the high expectations often felt by us as individuals.

It makes God’s will for us feel achievable and realistic.

It’s totally relevant to a student in junior high
(And a slightly stressed out adult)

This page in the Be Yourself embraces scrapbooking fun- just like the back cover. Only this page encourages photographs. Yes, actual printed ones 🎞️📸

Take a deep breath.
Love the next person that comes near you.

A prayer and the story behind the picture… Oh S A prayer and the story behind the picture…

Oh St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, 

I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; 

so that having engaged here below your heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. 

Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. 

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.

My children had off from school on Friday. I had committed to an hour of Eucharistic Adoration on Fridays from to 2 to 3 during Lent… so since they had off, they had to come with me.
It was stressful.
They CAN NOT sit still.
Once I got one to stop walking around or talking, another one started.
But in the middle of all this… I witnessed a sweet moment.
I hesitated to pull out my phone because I really try not to during Adoration.
But, the beauty of the moment struck me, and I had to capture it.
📸 
Motherhood is hard. Parenting is difficult.
But I’m often reminded it’s like farming… and I’m planting seeds.

I just hope and pray I’m planting more good seeds then bad ones.

Thank goodness we can pray and ask for prayers from others!

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

I can’t believe in the past week I’ve posted 4 I can’t believe in the past week I’ve posted 4 videos on YouTube!

And last week’s interview with Dr. Matthew Breuninger (@askacatholictherapist ) still has me thinking about the “psychology of prayer journaling “!

The last 4 videos posted consist of two new interviews (Jessica Castillo from @athrivingcatholic and Dr. John Spitzer @johnspitzermd ); 

a box opening of @pinksaltriot ‘s latest JOY BOX and finally 

a “how to” video that demonstrates how girls can design the back cover of Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls!
Whew!

Dr. John Spitzer shared parenting advice for moms and dads of tweens;

Jessica Castillo shared how our physical and spiritual health are connected;

The Joy Box had some fun surprises… one will be going in my daughter’s Easter Basket;
And my friend’s daughter was the perfect co-host in the “how to design “ video!

Tell me which topic interests you the most… maybe I’ll dedicate an Instagram post highlighting that content!

Have you ever seen a statistic and thought… thes Have you ever seen a statistic and thought… these numbers are NOT in my favor?

Years ago, I was lonely, depressed and wondering if I would ever not be lonely and depressed.

I dreamed of falling in love and getting married.

But, I wanted to marry a faithful Catholic man… and I believe I saw that only 22% (?) of Americans were Catholic.

And then I thought…
Half of them aren’t men, a large percentage are not practicing and … also how many are BOOMERS?

Lucky for me, God math goes like this…
5 loaves 
2 fish
=
5,000 meals and leftovers

Don’t you love when a plan comes together for a Don’t you love when a plan comes together for a retreat and you see joyful faces! 

Listen, this is the best retreat hack for Catholic girls!
****The Be Yourself Journal Scrapbooking activity.****

Give each girl a Be Yourself Journal.
Explain how, “We are all called to holiness but we take different paths.” ~ Saint Katharine Drexel.

Have each girl pick out a Holy card and two Catholic stickers.

Put scrapbooking paper and Catholic washi-tape (thank you @thestumpofjesse ) on the tables and get them started with decorating the back of their journals.

As they work add more stickers and quote cards to their table.

Point out that they were all given the same set of instructions… yet each cover design is unique.

The same is true for their calling!
God has a unique mission for each individual.

He calls us to follow the Commandments, embrace His Word and trust the teachings of the Church…
same set of basic instructions, different yet BEAUTIFUL results when followed!
“Be who God meant you to be and you’ll set the world on fire!” ~Saint Catherine of Siena
