     No words can adequately express the depth and breadth of this tragedy.  The Lord, alone, can offer the solace and comfort we all need at this time.  

     When Jesus was first on this earth, he spoke these words...known as 'The Beatitudes'...to all his disciples & to the many people who had gathered around him:

   "He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
   for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
   for they will be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
   for they will inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
   for they will be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
   for they will be shown mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
   for they will see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
   for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
   for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

All I can add is my cry, "Have mercy, Lord".

"A Prayer For Someone With Liver Problems" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 

courtesy www.turnbacktoGod.com/

From Rev. Barb-

Dear Ones:

     Please pray with me just now for all who suffer from liver problems all over the world.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Your 'design' of us...and your designs for us are a neverending source of wonder and, at times, confusion and anxiety.

Please help us to best understand your Will for us, that we might learn to deal with whatever afflictions we may have.

We know illness strikes young and old, alike...sometimes in what seems like 'out of the blue'...and sometimes as a result of our own 'foolishness'.

Yet, still, you are with us O Lord with your steadfast love.

You are there with us at all times with a love that refreshes itself continually,

Just as the very cells of the human liver refresh and replace themselves continually, 

So great is your 'Grand Design'.

And as we need only the smallest bit of love to carry on, 

So it is with the amazing liver....the smallest bit 'transplanted', even 'one-quarter'...can help us to continue on and give a grateful recipient a full life, once again.

You ever cleanse us, Lord, with your Love and Hope and Faith,

And you have provided our 'temporary vessels' with an organ of cleansing, as well.

So now we pray fervently for all who suffer from any and all diseases and illnesses of the liver that they be uplifted right now and unafraid.

For we understand that nothing is impossible with our Great Healer.

We are grateful, O God, that you take the time to listen to this our humble prayer of ours.

As we pray these things in our individual traditions, which for Christians is 

In The Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit

AMEN

"Darien Police Searching For Missing 16-Year-Old ZACHARY GALLO--Please HELP!" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

Darien Police Searching For Missing 16-Year-Old [Updated] 

MISSING 16 YR OLD ZACHARY GALLO-DARIEN & SURROUNDING AREA

   ZACHARY GALLO-MISSING-AGE 16-DARIEN, CTPLEASE HELP IF YOU SEE ZACHARY Or HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DISAPPEARANCE & WHEREABOUTS CALL the Darien Police Department immediately at 203-662-5301, PLEASE.

Zachary Gallo was last seen at his home Sunday night.

• By John Davisson
• Email the author

Police have released a photo of Zachary Gallo, pictured at right.
"We have reason to believe that Zach is potentially an endangered at-risk individual," Darien police Capt. Fred Komm said in an email Monday. (Note from Rev. Barb: it has now been disclosed that Zach has autism.)
Police are seeking the public's help in locating missing teenager Zachary Gallo, 16, of Darien.
Gallo is described as white, 5 feet 8 inches tall, and 185 lbs. with brown hair and brown eyes. Police said he is known to wear his hair slicked back and his jeans rolled up to his ankles.
The teenager was last seen by his parents between 11 and 11:30 p.m. Sunday at their Hoyt Street residence, police said. He was reported missing around 7 a.m. Monday.
Gallo reportedly left his cell phone at home.
"Exhaustive efforts have been made by this department and others to locate this young man," said Lt. Thomas Krois, including patrols and K-9 searches of the area. Stamford and Norwalk police were among the agencies participating in the search.
Gallo attends school at Cooperative Educational Services in Trumbull. Krois said Gallo's interests did not point to an obvious destination for the teenager.
Anyone who sees Gallo or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the Darien Police Department immediately at 203-662-5301.
From Rev. Barb, a PRAYER:
Holy God:  
Please, we pray that Zachary be safe & brought back into the embrace of his loving family.
Impel all in SW CT and elsewhere to actively search for this precious child, that he be brought back home, well and unharmed.
Lord have mercy and see that this 16-yr-old be returned to safety and quell the fears of parents everywhere who live in dread of the loss of a child in situations like this.
Embolden us to act definitively, reminding us that we are not on this earth alone, for our brothers and sisters and their children are here, too!
We pray these things in the name of Your Precious Son Jesus Christ.
And we ask our Savior's Mother Mary to intercede at this moment...she who taught us that 'all life is precious'...she who never ignores the righteous pleas of mothers and their children.
In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit we pray these things-
AMEN

"Maundy Thursday Masks"

A 'Prayer Poem' For You

By Reverend Barbara Sexton

Dear Ones Healing Ministry

All sorrow hailed, all sad about,

A growing sense of gloom and tears,
Those fellows felt the sting of doubt,
And realization of their fears.

The women went about their tasks,
Brave set upon their daily work,
For other's sake their wore calm masks,
In faith they did not duty shirk.

Still no one there could shed the feel,

Of gnawing deep from head to loins,

Of him designed to share that meal,

Then sell the man for thirty coins.

They could not fathom how a man,
Could sell a brother just like that,
Supplanting kiss, that coward ran.
To reap reward and live 'a-fat'.

Yet no one told him of the guilt,
That Judas then would feel when done,
He'd reap an agony to the hilt,
For full disclosure of the One.

In misery fast he tore his life,
Upon a spike asunder,
In death, as life, he knew such strife,
That man with guilty plunder.

Yet God did use this tortured man,
To kill his one Begotten Son,
And so the faithful know the Plan,
That mercy follows everyone.

 It fills the marrow and the bones,
Of those who understand this gift,
God's Goodness drives, reshapes and hones,
All ever ready to uplift.

For God is good in Word and Deed,
His faithfulness to us immense,
He gave us Jesus in our need,
And lovingly spared no expense.

We only can but weakly grasp,
Such mysteries from above,

But I can tell you this today,

We're meant to know that love.

We're meant to show that love to all,
To friends and foes, alike,
We're to be kind to those we love,
As those who bring us strife.

Imperfect we, we all fall short,
Of meeting that ideal,
We rather give a sharp retort,
And let our feelings reel.

The world has those far from 'The Word',

Who love to taunt 'believers',
And so we call upon the Saints,
To be our 'soul relievers'.

We pray to God to give us strength,
And will to persevere,
When we're confronted breadth and length,
As Maundy Thursday nears.

Reverend Barbara Sexton

"Eating Food In Japan & From Japan-A Biochemist's Recommendations" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

courtesy www.blingcheese.com

Dear Ones:

     This is perhaps the 'easiest' piece I have ever written.
     Considering all available reports on the spread of radioactive fallout from damaged Japanese nuclear reactors, not only in and 'over' Japan itself, but also worldwide now, herewith are my recommendations for anyone interested in a biochemist's opinion:
1) Since radiation exposure is 'cumulative', those in Japan should NOT eat foodstuffs produced there, nor drink any water which is likely to be contaminated.  This is easier said than done, I know, but the world community should help as much as possible with supplying Japan with the food and water it needs.
2) I recommend that exports from Japan-foodstuffs and drink-NOT be consumed by anyone, as well.
     In a perfect world, all those in Japan at risk for 'long-term exposure' in 'hot areas' would be evacuated.
     Besides the difficulties of the 'logistics'...not to mention the money that would be needed to undertake such an endeavor...there is another factor to be considered:
     Many people, especially the elderly, are resistant to the suggestion that they leave their homeland.
     And this is completely understandable, if not necessarily prudent.
     Still, it would be a blessing if those who want to leave Japan's now-definitively contaminated areas-- youngsters, especially--did have the opportunity to do so.
     The period of exile need not be a long one, necessarily. 
     It will depend upon how long 'clean-up' takes and whether or not Japan is subject to additional dramatic and destructive seismic activity, something no human can accurately predict.
     For the duration, we must not forget that we are not alone in this world and that we are, indeed, our 'brothers' and sisters' keepers'.
     If we can spend money miles away supporting populaces bent on 'destruction', certainly we can channel some funding to the 'brave and stoic' peoples of Japan who wish only to recover and...live and let live.
Blessings,
Reverend Barbara Sexton

"A Prayer For Japan From An American: All People Of Good Will Please Pray With Me Right Now" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

courtesy beautiful wallpaper free wallpaper

Please pray with me right now for the people of Japan-Rev. Barb



Dear God:


Please hear this prayer from the American people for our Japanese brothers and sisters.


At this time we come to you as your children around the world, fully united in our faith in you.


We pray for those who suffer and weep at the grievous losses in Japan.


Have mercy on this great Nation, with whom the USA  has not always had a peaceful co-existence.


Fully unite us now as never before, Heavenly Father, in the forgiveness, reconciliation, love and respect that has grown between us, in a mission to provide for those most in need at this time with aid and comfort.


And let no other Nations on earth turn their backs on the Japanese people in their distress, we ask of you Lord,  our Creator who controls all of Heaven and earth.


Please cut short the days of woe and misery for our friends overseas, that they may be restored to a moment of calm in order to properly mourn their dead.


Help Japan HEAL, dear Father, as only you can do, and help it rebuild and experience the blessing of rebirth.


Most especially help our friends in Japan deal with all terrifying nuclear aftermath, a situation which by it's very essence, opens old hurts, wounds and decisions of an era long gone.


We pray that you will imbue the brave and stoic Japanese people with the powerful strength of Spirit only you can give to any person.


In the traditions of our individual religious backgrounds, we pray these things.


Which for Christians is in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
AMEN

In Christ,

"A Prayer For Someone In Need Of A Liver Transplant-Please Pray With Me Right Now For Jessica Maranelli" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

Dear Ones:
     On this first day of Lent, I received this urgent PRAYER REQUEST.  (Note: Jessica is Lisa Prizio's niece) 

Dear Friends

John & Cindy Maranelli's daughter Jessica was rushed to Columbia Children's

Hospital tonight. The Doctors there determined her liver has stopped functioning.

She will need a liver transplant ASAP to survive. Please pray for God's will to be done.

Please pray that through this pain God's Glory will be revealed to all. Please pray our

Lord will spare her life and heal her body.

Thank you in advance for all your urgently needed prayers.

From Rev. Barb-Please pray with me:

Lord God, we enter this Lenten Season and we remember Jesus's forty days in the wilderness.

We are in our 'own' wilderness now and we come to you with prayers for your child Jessica Maranelli and her parents John and Cindy and their friends and family.

Please have mercy on them, dear Father.

Please heal this teen with the gift of life and end her suffering.

We pray that she may live a complete and happy life, doing all good works in your Name.

We pray that she may be as a 'living testimony' to your Goodness and Faithfulness, even as we realize that short of a miracle, a gift for Jessica can only result from the loss of the earthly life of another.

To that end, we pray not solely for the Maranellis, but also for the 'donor family' we may yet meet and thank for their incredible love in the face of incredible loss.

Today we 'fear' when we should not, and we are 'tempted' in our weakness at this time and so we pray actually for 'that miracle cure', if it be Your Will, so that none must lose their earthly lives.

Absent your sudden Intervention this way, we are content to know that Jessica and all those who suffer acutely need only know the Promise you assure us of when we are 'transplanted' to Eternal Life...

In that Life we are free of all sadness and pain, after lives well-lived here and lessons learned through our Creator,

When our 'work here' is completed, we look forward to an Eternal Life reunited with our loved ones, fully restored to a 'perfect health', thanks to You alone...

And we thank you for the Promises you make to us, dear Lord.

We are faithful and we love you for them, even as we ask you to bless Jessica's doctors, surgeons and health care advisers in all their endeavors to save her life.

We pray these things in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
AMEN
Blessings
