Melissa Hackeny, Age 24.
Melissa is in urgent need of prayers. To learn more about her condition go to urgent prayer request.
Melissa will be admitted to the hospital on Thursday, March 6th. She will receive very strong doses of chemotherapy on Friday, March 7th and Saturday, March 8th. Her immune system will therefore be wiped out.
Her physician has been very upfront in that this is a "do or die" situation. He has also made it very clear that she may not make it through this ordeal.
Prayer for Melissa, her mother Patti and family are very much needed at this time.
If all goes well with the chemotherapy treatment; Melissa will have the bone marrow transplant on Tuesday, March 11th at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time. Friends of the family have asked that everyone please pray a rosary for her at that time.
Prayer warriors are needed to respond this urgent request. Let us entrust Melissa to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Please consider offering your Masses, Holy Communion, Rosaries, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and other prayers for Melissa.
Bloggers please spread the word and post this link on your blogs if you can. Thank you very much. I will open comments to anyone that wants to leave comments for Melissa and her family.
God Bless you !
The Memorare
- The MemorareRemember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, My Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.

QUOTES TO LIVE BY

Priests for Life end to Abortion prayer
- Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all, Through Christ our Lord. Amen! .
