Sunday evening Rosary for a child
[Katie McBride and her mother]
My friend, Mary Anne Early, wrote to me with sad news. The niece of her sister-in-law, an eleven-year-old girl named Katie McBride who is battling Leukemia, is not doing well. She has taken a turn for the worse after a bone marrow transplant and needs a miracle to survive.
One of her family members read about a child miraculously cured by the Infant Jesus after 400 rosaries were offered for her simultaneously. They are asking that we join together in prayer on Sunday, February 24 between the hours of seven and eight o'clock in the evening (eastern standard time) to say the rosary, requesting a miracle for Katie.
Thank you so very much for participating. Even if you miss the planned hour, please pray for this dear girl. When I think of my own twelve-year-old daughter, so active and full of life, my heart breaks for Katie and her family. May God help them through this terrible time.
[Please consider passing this request along today.]
We will pray, Alice!

Count on a rosary to be prayed by this mom of a daughter who'll be 12 in less than a week.

I prayed for her last night. Stil praying today. Her suffering really touched my heart. All hope is in Our Lord. She is in His hands, wrapped with Our Lady's arms.

Dear Alice,
I missed your post last night but will pray tonight for Katie--I can't imagine...

Hello Alice,
Your request really touched my eleven year old daughter, and she has sent out a prayer request to all of her friends. We'll also be praying for Katie each evening.

I am Katie's aunt, Jeanne's sister.
Katie passed away March 1 and is no longer in pain. We truly believe that she is in Heaven, testing out her wings and taking care of the smaller children. We thank you all for your prayers, without them we (her family) would not have made it through. God bless you all.
