there is a woman at church, from Russia. she escaped, as an infant, during the Russian revolution. her husband's father was a priest. he was killed by the communists for not telling his congregation that there is no God. he is today known as St. Pavel of the Russian Far East. she fell, and is in the hospital. she is getting increasingly worse every day. my priest is not even going to his honeymoon vacation week with his wife, because she could pass at any moment, and he wants to preform the funeral.
please pray, that through the intersession of the Theotokos, St. Pavel, and St. Tikhon of Moscow that she may be granted a repose free of pain, and that the Lord may have mercy on her soul
