Father, we pray for our dear brother. Preserve the life of this servant of yours. We ask for You to restore him, and heal him. Give skill and insight to the doctors and nurses that are caring for him. Give him life and breath for many years to come that he might continue to edify Your church, and your children.

The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) is broadcasting a Holy Hour for Fr. Groeschel this morning, and Fr. Groeschel's assistant requested that we ask for prayers from St. Francis, the founder of the order, and St. Augustine, who has been Fr. Groeschel's favorite all his life.

This was also on the Franciscan Web site:

He is a wonderful priest. He went to prison for saying the Rosary in front of an abortion clinic.
