Please pray for my niece, Stacy H, who is very sick and has been at UAB Hospital on and off for several months. Today she had a heart catheterization. Please pray for her recovery.
We almost didn't have any new requests this week, but then I remembered that Birmingham local Ryan Penney has been accepted as a FOCUS missionary at Southern Methodist University in Texas. He needs to be able to support himself during this time (usually a period of 2 years) and would appreciate your prayers and any possible donations to help him in this important ministry.
Ryan's story was featured on EWTN's "Life on the Rock" a few years ago. You can view the episode here. To learn what FOCUS missionaries are all about check out the website.
Here's what Father Robert Barron says about FOCUS:
FOCUS is one of the best examples of the New Evangelization today, letting loose the power of the Gospel for the transformation of the world. Through their work on campus, they are forming our future leaders, so that these graduates will not just go on to be lawyers, teachers, and business people, but Catholic lawyers, Catholic teachers, and Catholic business people who will impact society, and the world by spreading the fullness of truth found in Jesus Christ and His Church.”
– Fr. Robert Barron, S.T.D., author, speaker, theologian, and founder of Word on FireIf you are able to help Ryan financially, let me know and I'll put you in touch with him.

God bless,
