Valentine's Day Prayers for You
Week of February 7, 2022
Prayer Requests
Dear Friends,
On a day dedicated to love, we — on behalf of your care-receiver — want to thank you for being such a ... sweetheart!
(We're sorry we can't send you a box of candy, but perhaps the two of you can split a can of chocolate Ensure.)
No matter the particulars of your situation — if, for example, your care-receiver forgets to say "Happy Valentine's Day" to you or, so much harder, has trouble remembering you are his or her longtime Valentine — we can and do send this gift:
Members of the Friends of St. John the Caregiver
around the world are praying
for you and your care-receiver.
---
And this from Pope Francis' 2020 "Message for World Day of the Sick" (February 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes):
"At the side of every sick person, there is also a family,
which itself suffers and is in need of support
and comfort."
You remain in my prayers.
Bill

Again this week we cordially invite you to join the Friends of St. John the Caregiver! (FSJC's programs include YourAgingParent.com and CatholicCaregivers.com.) You can find out more about becoming a member here.
No meetings, no dues. All we ask is that you pray for caregivers and those receiving care. Our members include caregivers, care-receivers, and those who support both (including quite a few former caregivers).
