Hi friends, many of you have been following along on social media, and you know that we recently found out that my mom’s cancer has returned. She has been debating what to do about it and after your outpouring of love and prayers she is ready to fight it with chemo and radiation.

A friend of mine suggested that I set do the 54 day rosary novena for her and ask my friends to join. I wasn’t sure how I would do that but then I saw that Micaela did something similar (but with Holy Hours) for Kendra and her husband Jim, who is also fighting cancer. So, I put together a page were you could sign up to say a rosary for my mom on one of the 54 days. (The first 27 days are for petition and the second 27 days for thanksgiving.)

We will begin on June 30th and end on August 22, the feast of the Queenship of Mary.

We are praying this rosary for these intentions:

• For Dolores’ strength physically, mentally and spiritually during her treatment.
• For the strength and patience of the family members who will be caring for her during treatment.
• For mom’s healing from cancer, if it be God’s will.
• For peace of heart and complete trust and surrender at the hands of Our Father for all involved.

We are also asking for the intercession of Our Lady Queen of Heaven and Earth, St. Peregrine, St Terese of the Little Flower and Fr. Luis Marx (a very holy family friend/priest who recently died.)

A big thank you to all of you who have already been praying and especially for those of you who will take this extra step of offering up a rosary. Heartfelt thanks from my mom, me and my family!
