So I will too.
.
A young man I see at adoration, named Tony, desperately needs our prayers. He has some major issues, he's probably mentally ill, and his mother is dying from cancer. His mom's name is Lisa.
.
Tony is doing very poorly right now, much worse than a few months ago, because his mom has now been transferred to hospice.
.
Tony lives on his own, but he is very much emotionally dependent upon his mother. His parents were divorced and his mom remarried. His natural father is a recovered alcoholic.
.
Tony has been present at adoration every Wednesday afternoon for the past few months. He is there from about 1:30 PM until the close at 4:30 PM. He mostly paces around the Church, sometimes standing next to me in the aisle. We speak afterwards.
.
The best I can do is assure him of my prayers, and try to empathize with him by discussing how it was when my mom died. But I mostly try to let him speak.
.
He tells me he is looking for a sign - of what I'm not sure. I told him about St. Therese of Lisieux and said I'd ask her to give him a sign. He can be kind of scary to some people I suppose, he swings back and forth between anger and pain, confidence and despair. But he is mostly just scared.
.
Please pray for him and his mom.
.
Thanks.
