Help Louise with MND visit St Charbel's Shrine

We are friends of Louise Clara, a devout lady and spiritual warrior who is married to Erich, mother to Marie Therese (14) and foster mother to Daniel (5) and Sophia Rose (2). Louise was recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease and has taken the blow with enormous dignity and trust in God saying: “If the Lord heals me, it’s a win, and if He doesn’t, it’s a win, as I will see Him.” She says she is at peace, and believes God is sustaining her, and taken all her fears away.

Louise felt inspired to pray a novena for her healing to St Charbel of Lebanon, one of the greatest miracle workers ever. As Louise’s friends, we are keen to arrange for Louise to be able to visit Lebanon for a week and stay at the shrine of St Charbel. We are organising this fund-raiser to that end and would appreciate if you would donate whatever you can towards that.

We've estimated that to send Louise, Erich, Marie Therese and a companion / helper to the shrine in Byblos, Lebanon for a week. It would cost 8,000 euros to cover flights, transfers, car rental, food, hotels in Beirut, accommodation at the shrine and a little spending money.

If you're unfamiliar with St Charbel, check out Fr Mark Goring and St Charbel's 6 minute talk on youtube. He may be the greatest miracle worker ever.

Novena to St Charbel

Lord, infinitely Holy and Glorified in Your Saints, You have inspired Charbel, the saint monk, to lead the perfect life of a hermit. We thank You for granting him the blessing and the strength to detach himself from the world so that the heroism of the monastic virtues of poverty, obedience, and chastity, could triumph in his hermitage. We beseech You to grant us the grace of loving and serving You, following his example. Almighty God, Who has manifested the power of St. Charbel’s intercession through his countless miracles and favours, grant us …[Mention your intention here] through his intercession. Amen.
