Dear friends,
I received today devastating news about the future health prospects of my mother MJ. Naturally, my work here will be sparse, and I probably will not post much more in the upcoming weeks other than the spiritual posts sent by our dear Contributor Francesca Romana.
Thank you all for your prayers for her. Please, keep her in your prayers, if possible.
NC
P.S. Apologizing for the more personal nature of this post. And reminding you to keep reading as our other contributors will continue to post.

Very sorry to read this NC. Both you and your mother will be in my prayers and sympathies. Be assured of my warm regards, and if you ever feel the need to talk to someone you have my email.
NC,
You, your mother, and your family, will be in my prayers. God bless.
So sorry to hear this, New Catholic. Our prayers for her, and your family.
Your mother, your family, and you will be in my prayers, too. Thank you for your dedication to this blog; it is a great help in discerning the truth and growing in the Faith.
N.C., you and your mother and family have my prayers, may Our Blessed Mother shelter you under her mantle.
Nothing to apologize for, RC. Mom is Mom. All our prayers and thoughts for her and you and the family. God's blessings. +JMJ+
May God shower His healing mercy upon your mother. May God give you and your entire family strength and faith to persevere for a while. God will not tarry to bring your mother full healing and recovery. I beseech Our Mother Mary to intercede for you. Amen!
Will certainly remember her especially on the feast of St. Joseph!
Dear NC, I see by your profile that you're a convert. Oh, what a good mother she must be to have given to us such a dear, son. I'm sure, like my mother, she wore her feet out for you too and I know Our Lord will look on her with great kindess...
MY
MOTHER’S
FEET
Withered, wearied
Ripped and torn
My mother’s feet
Were rough and worn.
For they had carried
Future’s weight
Engraved by God
Her pregnant plate.
No money for
The perfect fit –
So when in pain
She’d pray and sit
Until her purpled
Blood would race
Body, soul
Varicosed in grace.
And though so wearied
Withered, torn
Emeralds fade…
‘Fore feet so worn.
I will remember your mother and you and your family in my rosary, and at Mass tomorrow. God bless and love you all.
Your mom is in our prayers! Can I just say thank you for posting so many interesting and incredibly informative articles? I used to rely on The Remnant for my info, but RC has become my go-to source. And I, for one, am very thankful to you for reporting about Pope Francis, when other traditional Catholic news sources are not. Keep up the awesome reporting and I am a reader for life. Great articles; thanks for enlightening me.
Prayers for you both.
So sorry to hear this sad news, New Catholic.
Thank you for your brave and honest reporting and commentary in the last few eventful weeks.
You are unfailingly fair-minded, orthodox, and charitable, and your blog represents the very best expression of Catholic thought and sentiment.
Thank you so very much for your fine leadership and example and may the good Lord and His Mother guide and sustain you.
I am praying for grace and strength for you and your Mom. I cared for my parents with the help of my two young sons through many ups and downs and I pray for great blessings for you both.

Dear NC, I know the feeling: I will pray for your mother and may God help her to recover health. I will leave a candle for this intention next time I go to Fátima.
God bless you, NC. My prayers for you, your Mother, your family.
I will keep you, your mother, and your family in my prayers.
Take all the time away from us that you need--
In my own experience I have found that in the midst of all the suffering and distress of such a time, it is, strangely, a period of great sweetness, something you will treasure both now and for the rest of your life. I will continue to pray for your mother, for you and for your family.
God bless,
Dorothy B
I too am very sorry to hear this news and will pray to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour for your mother and for you. God bless you during this time.
Prayers! The father of lies hates truth so he attacks your family...
I will be praying!

Praying for you, your mother, and your whole family.
No need for apologies. God bless.
Dear NC,
How good God is to visit this illness on your Mom on this the Feast of St. Joseph. He will be with her to protect her and keep her close to the Lord and His Most Holy Mother. Be assured of my prayers and love for you and your family as well. God bless and protect you and enfold you in His loving embrace.
Praying for you and your mother. May the good Lord be merciful to you and may His sweet Mother comfort you.
Having lost my own dear mother in July of 2010, I understand how difficult this moment is. We are always consoled by the knowledge that they remain with us, even if taken from our sight.
My heartfelt prayers and good wishes to you, your mother, and your family.
Oremus pro invicem

My prayers for your mother and your entire family.
Orabo.
NC
Please know that we are praying for you and your mother--for some reason yesterday I thought of you both and said a little prayer. The communion of saints joins our prayers. You are truly blessed to be able to be with your mom no matter how difficult.
NC, I'll pray for you, your mom and your family. It's okay to share personal information because you're among friends.
The needs of your family will be remembered in my prayers.
Prayers are with you.
Some good news: Pope Francis has approved the TLM to be offered in St. Peter's Basicila on the Feast of Christ the King, Oct. 26, 2013, by CISP.

I am very sorry to hear about your mom. I will keep her,your family and you in my prayers. God Bless.
I will offer up my intentions for your mother and your family at Mass today.
I'm very sorry for your trouble.
Dear NC
I do not know you but I am a daily visitor to this site. When I read your note this morning, I had to write and offer my solidarity in what you have begun to go through. My mother died a week ago.That was after weeks of a difficult last illness. It is so hard to lose a mother, as a priest friend shared with me, "the bearer of life". You are in my prayers.
Deacon Keith Fournier
Christine, to be precise, per the CISP announcement, Cardinal Comastri (archpriest of the Basilica) approved on March 14.
(For those who have difficuly recognizing a simple observation: No, I am not reading anything nefarious or conspiratorial into that in regard to the Holy Father.)
NC, my prayers for your mother and you. I am glad you ask for our prayers. We all need them desperately. May our Lord and Lady bless you all!

Yes, but he could not do it without the approval of the Holy Father.
Sure he could. :) It all depends on the understanding he and his boss have about what decisions he can make on his own, and which ones the boss has reserved to himself. In this particular case, I could see it going either way. It's possible (not saying likely) that the Holy Father isn't even aware of it.
I add my prayers.
I am praying for your mother and family.
May Our Blessed Lord grant each you the strength to bear these trials.
NC, we are grateful to your wonderful work on this blog. I'm very sorry to read again about these so bad news. I prayed this morning and will pray for your mother and all of you.
Enrico
In my prayers.
Susan
God bless you and your family and give you peace and comfort. You will all be included in the prayers of this simple sinner.
Br. Alexis said,
New Catholic, I'll keep your mom in my prayers....
No need to appologize at all.
I(we) understand and offer our prayers for you and your Mother.
We are offering our prayers also, from Brazil.
Prayers for your mother, you, and your family.
Ave (x3)
Dear New Catholic, your Mother will be very proud of all you have done for our Catholic Church once she is in Heaven.
Deo Gratias
Prayers and deepest sympathies.. +
Today I will offer the Holy Sacrifice for her.
I am praying for your mother & you and your family.
Rather belatedly I add my prayers to the prayers being offered.
May Our Blessed Lady, who has a mother's heart, extend her arms to enfold your mum at this special time, and may your family receive many graces and blessings for whatever comes.
NC,
Prayers assured!
Michel.
