Prayers for Hiram Hornedo

Yashira Hornedo writes to ask for prayers for her uncle, Hiram Hornedo, who is in Puerto Rico. He is very ill and has been intubated and is on a ventilator in the intensive care unit.

Luis Hornedo, for whom we prayed this past summer after his heart attack, is Yashira’s other uncle — the two men being the only relatives Yashira has in Puerto Rico — and is tending to Hiram.
May God grant Hiram a swift and complete recovery and support Luis in his distress. AMEN
