My 90-year-old Mom has sent each of her grandchildren a rosary and asked that they pray the rosary to our Blessed Mother in honor of Logan, for Logan. You see, she has amassed many rosaries over her lifetime, and the plan was to give a rosary to each grandchild when she passed. But given Logan’s illness, the plan changed. With the help of my sister Terry, each grandchild has received or will soon receive a rosary, a note from their Grandmother, and a booklet on how to say the Rosary. The rosaries in the picture arrived at my home to deliver to those in Dallas. I opened the box and I was so touched that I cried. Once again, I am tearing up writing these words because it means so much to me.
October happens to be the month of the Holy Rosary, and for my non-Catholic readers the Rosary is often used to ask God for a special favor. The Rosary is a simple prayer, a perfect prayer, and a humble prayer – just like the Blessed Mother. How many Rosary prayers will be said for Logan? No idea, but I hope many. I have been and will continue to pray to the Blessed Mother for Logan’s recovery. It is the last thing I do every night as I close my eyes.
Friends and family members – you reading this – are genuinely touched by 10-month-old Logan’s leukemia fight. You are generous with your prayers. Grandma Mary has a “God box” – literally a box – into which she puts names for prayer. She is praying for Logan, I know. And I hear from so many people who are fervently praying for Logan, his family, and his caregivers. Know that this prayer is needed and appreciated. Thank you.
I’ll pray the Rosary for Logan. Once again, I am so touched by your heartfelt words.
