Dear, dear Fr. Austin,
We continue to storm heaven with prayers for your quick and total recovery. If there is anything else I can do to be helpful, please know that I hope you would call on me.
I'm sending you a BIG HUG!

I have prayed for you daily, by name, since you became my pastor nearly three years ago. Rest assured in this present trial I will do so even more fervently. Through the intercession of the dear and glorious physician, St. Luke, and the great intercessor for the sick, St. Maurus, may Our Lord touch you with his divine consolation and keep you strong in faith.
Father A,
Sending positive thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery. Also praying for Father Jim. Let us know how we can help.
Fondly,
Erin & Kerry Tracy
Father, you must be exhausted. You've had a grueling week. You need to find time for rest. It's very restorative to mood, outlook and defenses, both physical and psychological. You have an army of people praying for you, so rest assured that heaven is being bombarded by the many people and friends praying for you.
That's a lot of scheduling! Perhaps you would be willing to let someone help by driving you (or accompanying you by train/bus/taxi/whatever) to the appointments? Or help you navigate the In & Out of Network Insurance nonsense and scheduling of the appointments? You know, it's all about ME! I need to feel useful - give me something to do! (Or don't - whatever helps you...) We all love you and are praying for you. Marie was in NY from California this week... got to see her yesterday. She sends her love and prayers.
Dear Fr Austin,
Did you have to go to such lengths to get an easier Holy Week schedule???
Seriously, you are foremost in my prayers during this Easter Triduum. May God restore you to full and wonderful health. We need wonderful priests like you who lead by such good and true example.
God Bless YOU!
