If you stumble across this, please say a prayer for John D, a college friend of mine. I just received a call that he is in the hospital in very bad shape. I was honestly too stunned to catch the specifics, but I think it was something with his lungs. I was told he's "fighting for his life."
Update: He's doing much better. Thanks to all who prayed. Anybody who wants to know what happened can email me for details.
I sent Johns name to all our convents this morning, so he has the prayers of 140+ Carmelites.
John is doing much better now. . .thanks for the prayers. He should be home on Friday.
