7/29/19-Update:

Dear prayer warriors,

First of all, thank you for the outpouring of prayers on my behalf. This past weekend I attended a conference at the beautiful shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, WI. It also served as a mini retreat. I prayed there for all those who are praying for me. One prayer already answered is that my CT scan showed no signs of cancer spreading. The surgery to remove a section of the lower colon is set for September 6th at St Francis Hospital. As you accompany me on this next leg of the journey, please join me in praying that our Lord prepares me in soul, mind and body for a successful surgery and recovery.
Father Bill Miller

Dear prayer warriors,

I come to you with a personal request for your spiritual support for something that I am facing. I recently had a routine removal of a few polyps from my colon. The biopsy found cancer cells in one of them. It appears to be caught at an early stage but there are still unknown aspects as to how well contained it is. I have had my first round of medical appointments and have a CT scan and blood work coming up. Surgery is likely. Those who have had this diagnosis know that it comes as quite a blow with a wave of uncertainties. At the same time I have received some tender assurances from our Heavenly Mother as this began to unfold. The biopsy was taken on the feast of our Lady of Perpetual Help, the very day that Archbishop Sheen’s body was on it’s way to the cathedral. My first appointments were on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The doctor who did the biopsy said; ”Someone saved your life.” The oncologist told me: “Someone is looking after you.” The following is offered as a proposed prayer. Be assured of my prayers for all those who are praying for me. As my mom has often said; “What would we do if we couldn’t pray?”

Gratefully yours in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

Father Bill Miller

Sacred Heart of Jesus,

We pray for Your healing touch

upon the body, mind and soul of our pastor, Father Bill Miller.

We ask You to remove any fear or anxiety, and

fill him with the peace that You alone can give.

We place him completely in Your hands, Lord Jesus, trusting in Your love and care for him.

May his recovery be swift, his strength renewed,

and his health restored.

For You, Lord, are the Divine Healer with Divine Mercy.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help, we place this priest of yours in your care, that he may be with you, hand in hand and heart to heart.

Venerable Fulton Sheen, assist him to carry this cross in such a way that will strengthen his priestly fatherhood and enable him to serve faithfully for many years to come.

Amen.
