FReeper Rogle (New Mexico) needs prayers

[RedMDer]

Prayers sent.

[momtothree]

Dear Heavenly Father, We ask for healing of our brother, Rogle. We also ask for strength and courage for his Mother, family and our friend, JaguarXKE. Embrace them, Lord, with Your compassion and love. In This I Pray. Amen.

***Stay strong, Jaguar. I am not sure if his Mom has anyone else with her right now. If not, I truly believe Our Lord has called upon you to be her rock. As a Mom myself, she is hurting, scared and seeing her child so sick... must be absolutely frightening for her. I am praying hard.

Thanks Jim and everyone! I don’t know if Rogle could hear, but last night when I visited him, I pulled up this thread on my iPhone and read these wonderful posts to him.

Thanks for the Catholic prayer ping! Speaking of which, an amazing thing happened yesterday while I was at work. About a year ago, my wife and I started going to a new (for us) Catholic church. I don't know the priest well (I'll call him father G"), but about 4 months ago, I waited for him after Mass because I wanted to tell him about the NAMI Family-to-Family education program that I teach. It's a 12-week course for families with loved ones who have Mental health issues and who want learn more about their loved-ones' illness and how to better help their ill relative. I gave Father G my card and just wanted him to know about the program so that if he happened to have any parishioners with Mental Illness in their families, he could refer the families to me to learn about the F2F program. That was the only time I'd ever had a personal conversation with Father G and honestly wasn't sure he'd even remember me or that conversation.

What does this have to do with Rogle? Well, Yesterday I was hoping to ask Father G to say Mass this Sunday for the intentions of Rogle, so I was going to call the church. But then, while I was at work, quite out of the blue I got a phone call from, of all people, Father G. He remembered the conversation we had had and he still had my card, He had called about a Parishioner who had visited him yesterday and whom he felt was in the midst of a Mental Health crisis. He was looking for advice and help. After that conversation, I said, "Father, as long as I have you on the phone, I have a favor to ask of you." And that's when I took the opportunity to ask him about saying Mass for the intentions of Rogle. Of course he said he would, so that will happen tomorrow at the 10AM Mass. I just found it amazing that the one and only time in my life I wanted to talk to my priest on behalf of someone else, he ends up calling ME! I don't think this quite qualifies as a miracle, but it certainly was a happy coincidence.

Lord Jesus Christ, be with Thy servant known to us as Rogle and grant him healing of his illness.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

Speaking the Words of Life over FReeper Rogle and claiming the Promises of God ...

Exodus 15:26 ~ For I am the Lord that healeth thee ...

Job 12:10 ~ In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

Psalm 103:1-5 ~ Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Continuing prayers for Rogle.

Visited with Rogle briefly after work yesterday. No change in his condition, which I suppose is better than a bad change.

[Ezekiel]

Thank you very much for the update, XKE.

I do hope that Rogle is aware enough to know that so many people care about him and are praying for him to be well again asap.

Hang tough, Rogle!

I've idea if he can hear me but I do tell him FR is praying for him. Thanks!!

Update ping. Not much good news. Went to visit after work and learned Rogle’s kidneys had started to shut down so they put him on medication to combat that. The slightly good news is the medication “seems” to have started to work. Also, they said they had reduced the O2 for his respirator just a slight amount. He has a long way to go before they can remove the ventilator, but it’s a small move in the right direction. All in all kind of mixed news.

Prayers lifted.

Sorry to be late, laptop is toast.

Fellow FReepers, thanks so much for all your prayers over the past couple of week. It has meant a lot to me, and to Rogle's family. However, it is with great sadness that I must relay some very bad news. I just returned from the hospital where I said my last goodbyes to my best friend, former New Mexico State Representative Rory Ogle (R) - known here as Rogle. Things continued to worsen the last few days and the decision was made to remove him from artificial life support sometime tomorrow morning. His family will be with him. The Doctors expect he will pass peacefully very shortly after life support is removed.

I wish I had better news, but I'm just glad to have had the opportunity to know Rory for as long as I did and I thank God that I was able to say goodbye to a very dear friend before the Lord takes him.

Please keep Rory and his family in your prayers.
