[Magdalen] Prayers requested--Janice injured in car accident

[Marion Thompson]

Prayers ascending from Port Hope for you and Janice and for Sarah, the 
caregiver.  Funny how there can be a gap in the memory.  As with my own 
thing last January, I recall watch her fender pass safely in front of me 
and then I was sitting sideways on the ground, a total blank in 
between.  Trivial compared to your plights.  Heal well and may it not be 
proven to have been your fault when you have no recollection of the 
truth of the matter.

Marion, a pilgrim
