A priest friend suggested I had been hiding out with the Pope, I have to admit I can't help but be a little amused by the Pope being hunted around the Vatican by Cardinals demanding the sweet Vicar of Christ does his job job and respond to their dubia. That like S Philip Neri, whose heart was twice the size it should have been, I had been called to soothe his reported rage, it is not true.Since Friday 12th Nov I was in the "Heart Failure Unit" of the local hospital. Basically my heart had been working at twice its proper speed and had failed to remove fluid from my body, which I have been peeing in great quantity, I am home now and a fifth lighter than I was,
I should be alright once my heart has strengthened I have been back to hospital to have its rhythm corrected.
I would appreciate prayers.

Prayers on the way. May the Blessed Mother keep you, Father, under her protective Mantel Blue. I miss your writing, Father.
Father, prayers for a speedy recovery.
Stay well dear Father - I will pray for you very much.
Dear Father, so good to hear a word from you. Just last night I was beginning to get worried about the unusually long silence. Please be assured of prayers. I would strongly advise a large dose of Catholic blogosphere avoidance during these strange times if a key objectives is to lower your heart rate. God bless you Father and do get well.
Saint Raphael, health of the sick; pray for us.
I hope you get better quickly, Father. Praying for you!
Prayers for you indeed Father.

Rverend Father,
Laudate Domino ! What a relief ! Phew !!! What more can I say ?

I pray, amongst other things, for my priests every morning, but I will add you specifically Father until you are better.
I sent a group, who wanted money naturally, away telling them there are worse ways to go.

Prayers sent for you Father. And I am sure your parishioners will help you through this time, they will be more than happy to help you with shopping, etc. -- I'm sure you only need but ask. You are loved the world over.
My dear Father: Love, prayers, and good wishes.
Your blip, following that of Fr Tim, makes me wonder if I should have a heart check up!

Get well soon, Father. It's 24 years since the same thing happened to me, and I'm still well and active at 82.
I have always had a weak heart Father. At age 6 I had arhythmia. I would not give it up for anything. Our life is more than what it is.
To me it is obvious that strong emotions floor me faster than physical effort, or listening to trance and other type of music that the medical guild says it's not healthy.
Probably in a world where doctor's visit were the rule I would've wasted my life with predictions of my death. Yet, it's just a heart and they know less than is business worthy for thwm to admit.
What could've troubled you? So? The pope not seeming to do his job? Maybe he is doing his job or trying to, he has but one obligation to God. Maybe if we knew all hidden things, in the world not others, we would all be more forgiving with Francis.
At least he's not stressing everyone by keeping us informed on many chaotic things like the media does these day. And they for sure work for Freemasonry and that is for themselves.
People even fight back on the net - masons' made- to save the right for some small town in France to keep Virgin Mary's statue. People are not all bought up, Francis and all his crew and others saying to not become depressed yet are still fighting the world at its worst imho.
Keep your heart up Father! :-)
Prayers and best wishes. Don't go out in the cold too much !
My prayers for a quick and full recovery father. Six years ago, I was in hospital for a week and was diagnosed with CHF. Many years of uncontrolled High Blood Pressure was the culprit. Do what they tell you; watch the salt and fluids strictly, take your medication, keep your activities within reason, elevate your feet at night. Avoid stress (I know; easier said than done). My prayers for you father. Please pray for me, too!
