David Parkes

Just yesterday, I attended a speech at our Church given by David Parkes. He was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and was miraculously healed by our Lord, despite his disbelief. Additionally, his son's story, Ken, was astounding. Padre Pio, even as a prayer card, has the power to intercede with miraculous results.

Assistance

Most recently, one of my dear friends contacted me to ask a question about auto-immune diseases. My friend's mother has lupus and is taking medication for it. However, some of the side effects of the medicine used to treat the disease have left her struggling with depression and anxiety. I'm sure the disease has a lot to do with these two symptoms as well.

My faith has been and will always be a source of magnificent strength. Attending mass and our weekly sessions are necessary for me to communicate my thanks and appreciation to our Lord for blessing me with a family and friends that are supportive.
