A MIRACLE for Jack

A few weeks ago I wrote about a young man named Jack. I asked you all to include him in your prayers, to ask your Bible groups, prayer groups and your churches to keep Jack and his family in your prayers so that Jack could make a speedy recovery. 

Well I'd thought you would like to have an update on Jack. The next couple of paragraphs are pasted and copied from http://www.lovemylittleflower.blogspot.com.

A Miracle for Jack and a thanksgiving novena

Praise God from Whom All Blessings flow !!!

Today, Jack and his family got miraculous news: the results of Jack's June 15th PET scan.  His doctors told him that there is no evidence of any cancer in any part of his body which can be detected by a PET Scan.  What is left to be tested is Jack's bone marrow, to see if there is any cancer remaining there.  We (Jack and his family) consider the disappearance of the cancer to be a miracle !!!  

Jack was diagnosed with cancer in early April.  It was found in several areas and organs of his body.   Today, after having undergone three CURE treatments, he is free of cancer in all parts of the body in which cancer can be detected with the PET Scan test.  How can it be anything other than a miracle.  We know, through our faith in the Risen Jesus and our trust in His Divine Mercy, that the answer is it cannot be anything other than a miracle.  We offer our prayers of thanksgiving to Our Lord, and the Saints who have been interceding for us.  And to all of you who have been praying for Jack's healing.

What is ahead:  It's not being called remission, yet.  The doctors still need to test Jack's bone marrow, and want to wait until July to do that.  In the meantime, Jack will continue with his 8-cycle CURE treatment plan.  This morning, he went into the hospital to begin CURE treatment #4 for four days.  And those drugs are gonna kick that cancer out before it ever tries to get back in!!

When Jack goes in for the fifth cycle in July, he will have the bone marrow test, and we'll pray a special novena for a good result on that test!!  If the bone marrow test comes out clean, Jack will undergo three more CURE treatment cycles after that to be sure that the last vestige of that ugly cancer is gone from his body.

The doctors did say they have indeed seen (((miraculous))) results such as Jack's -- so the docs would likely not call Jack's PET Scan result a miracle.  But that's quite alright.  We know that God works in situations and through people, and in response to prayers, in ways that we could never contemplate.   And we trust in The Great Physician and His Divine Mercy.   We believe that the result today was in God's hands, all along.  And that Jack remains in God's hands. 

So, for this next novena, I ask that you pray with me and Jack and his family and all of us together in thanksgiving for this miracle of Jack's cancer-free PET Scan result.  The novena is below and also on my right sidebar.  PLEASE join us in our novena prayer of thanksgiving attached, once daily beginning today for the next nine days.   Sorry this post is so late tonight.  If you don't read it until tomorrow, you can begin tomorrow and just pray through June 27 instead of June 26.  

My request for your generosity of prayers is not over yet.  Jack relies on all of your continued prayers to see him through to the day he is cancer free !!!!!   Let's join together and sing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v8kHKX61fg

Enter His gates with thanksgiving   
And His courts with praise!  
Give thanks to him, bless His name!  
For the Lord is good;  His steadfast love endures forever,  
And His faithfulness, to all generations.   
Psalm 100

Novena In Gratitude for God's Blessings and Answered Prayers  June 18-June 26

O Lord and Vivifier, Your grace has achieved for us all that You had spoken and promised. Grant us access to the place of Your peace. For You are our Vivifier, You are our Consoler, You are our life Remedy, You are our Standard of victory. Blessed are we, O Lord, because we have known You! Blessed are we, because we have believed in You! Blessed are we, because we bear Your wounds and the sign of Your blood on our countenances! Blessed are we, because You are our great hope! Blessed are we, because You are our God forever!  Lord, I give You thanks for dying on the cross for our sins.

O God, our Great Physician, Dear Divine mercy, and Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we offer praise and thanksgiving to You for favors granted and prayers answered, especially those obtained through the intercessions of St. Peregrine, St. Jude, Blessed John Paul II, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary who have faithfully and generously brought our petitions before You; for Your healing hand on your servant, Jack.  He has had a very good PET scan result and his doctors have said there is no evidence of any cancer in any part of his body which can be detected by the PET Scan.  We know this result is solely due to You and your gracious granting of the petitions of all those who prayed for Jack’s healing and recovery.  We praise You and glorify You for your miracle.  We know that a good bone marrow biopsy for Jack will require another miracle from You, Lord, and we continue to pray that Jack will have a good bone marrow test result, and he will be in remission and eventually be fully cured of the cancer that has invaded his body.  We ask You to keep Your healing hand on Jack and bring him through these treatments with minimal side effects and allow him the blessing of more answered prayers for a good bone marrow test.  Please help Jack and all of us continually to see the workings of Your grace and blessing in his life and all of our lives, and to strive always to live by the example of your Son, Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the saints of heaven, especially those for whose intercession we have prayed.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

I think I can speak for us all when I our God is AMAZING!!!! It is a huge testament to the power of PRAYER, and having FAITH in GOD. Please stop by lovemylittleflower and extend good wishes to Jack and his family. 

Hoping this finds you and yours well.

God Bless,
