We give thanks and praise to the God of the universe, who came to our aid and showed us the light of His mercies. The son of Sirach’s prayer in today’s Scripture was fulfilled in us today: indeed, the Lord gave new signs and worked new wonders.
The Lord worked through the medical team who flawlessly performed the cardiac catheterization procedure on me. God’s new wonder - they found that my coronary arteries are basically clear of clog, with one artery – the left anterior descending- having between 10%-20% blockage- which the doctor explained was part of the aging process and could be controlled with diet and exercise. For those who have aged with me in this community and thus know me really well – this is indeed a miracle!
The new signs are really reminders of God’s love and graciousness to His people, His faithfulness to those who hoped in Him: my wife and my entire family, all of you who prayed for me and Lee, those who called and/or wrote their words of encouragement and/or spent time with Lee waiting during my procedure, our BLD brethren who worked as doctors and nurses at St. Michael’s Hospital in Newark and who showered us with their love, time and attention, and the rest of St. Michael’s Hospital Staff who treated us with care, dignity and the highest professionalism.
To all of you, thank you! With you, we will make known to the very ends of the earth that the Lord Jesus is the eternal God, whose love endures forever.
All Glory & Honor to Jesus,
Richard & Lee
