Suffering from COVID-19
-
Please remember these people in your prayers, who are suffering from COVID-19 and ensuing complications:
- Matt Cox (nephew of Patty Gerry) - Matt still has an oxygen tank with him, hooked up all the time, but not a ventilator. The recent pulmonologist’s visit showed improvement but some air sacs in lower lungs still have fluid or something besides air in them. His blood oxygen drops a lot with activity, and he’s still receiving oxygen through nasal tubing. The doctor said this is as good as he will get, but Matt does NOT believe it. He says thank you for your prayers. Matt believes in the power of prayer. He is a devout Protestant Christian and asks for our continued Catholic Christian prayers! Matt is not yet able to work, but definite and noticeable improvement!! Here is a GoFundMe, to help Matt support his family while he is unable to work.

The Answer to Prayers
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him."
- Matthew 7: 7-11 -
