So, yesterday I was completely normal and did a whole bunch of spring cleaning. Last night around 7 pm I noticed one of my lymph nodes underneath my jaw is extremely enlarged. And tender. Like the size of a walnut in its shell. I’ve taken lots of antihistamines. It’s still there.
🤔🤔🤔
If it not better soon, I’ll go to the doctor.

One of the most touching and miraculous stories of St. Rita happened during the final days of her life in the monastery of Cascia.
Already gravely ill and confined to her bed, a cousin came to visit her. Wanting to bring some comfort to the dying saint, the cousin gently asked, “Is there anything you would like from your old family garden?”
St. Rita, weak but filled with faith, simply replied: “Bring me a rose.”
It was the dead of winter. The garden was buried under thick snow and ice. The trees were bare, the ground frozen solid, and not a single flower had bloomed for months. Her cousin was heartbroken, thinking St. Rita’s mind was wandering due to her illness. Still, she obeyed and went to the family garden.
When she arrived… what she saw left her speechless.
There, in the midst of the freezing desolation, on a completely bare and lifeless bush, bloomed one perfect, vibrant red rose — full, fragrant, and impossibly beautiful. A single rose defying the harsh winter, as if Heaven itself had placed it there.
This was no ordinary flower. It was a clear and tender sign of God’s miraculous love and grace working through St. Rita’s intercession.
From that moment, the rose became the eternal symbol of St. Rita’s powerful prayer. She is known as the Saint of Impossible Causes, the patroness of those who feel hopeless, desperate, or trapped in situations that seem completely dead.
--------------
St. Rita reminds us all: Even in the coldest, darkest, and most barren seasons of our lives — when nothing seems to be growing, when hope feels frozen — God can still bring forth beauty, life, and miracles.

I would like to ask everyone to pray for Dr. Peter Stafford, the missionary physician who has been evacuated from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after testing positive for the Ebola virus. Please also pray for his wife, Dr. Rebekah Stafford, and their four children. The Staffords now serve with Serge, but were part of our Samaritan’s Purse Post-Residency Program several years ago. I spoke with Rebekah by phone today and told her we would be praying for Peter and their family. bbc.com/news/articles/…
