Prayer request
for John Sullivan's father and mother
Today, June 22nd
We have received an email from John Sullivan, the international coordinator for the Flame of Love. Please read the following letter that he has addressed to everyone. It goes without saying that John, his father and mother all need our prayers about this very difficult situation. The Canadian conference which is scheduled for July will remain for now. We never know what our Father in Heaven and our Mama Mary will do.
The Canadian Flame of Love team.
Hello all,
We've had a significant change of plan here. I had planned on my father recovering from his pneumonia and being home in a weakened state. The challenge was how to arrange for care while I am gone and if that could be done in time to travel. Today, we were informed that he is not recovering and we can expect that he only has a few weeks left to live. They will send him home from the hospital into home hospice early next week.
Consequently, I canceled my speaking at the US National Conference this weekend. It has also put travel in July into an unknown state. I do not know if he will pass away before the presentations in Richmond, Mexico, and Canada. If he does, I don't know how well my mother will adapt to being a widow after 71 years of marriage. Since I have already committed to Richmond and Canada and am either the only or main speaker, I will try to honor those commitments though it could change at the last minute.
Angelica, since I would be only one of many speakers in Mexico and had not yet committed to coming, I think it is best if I skip Mexico this year. I sincerely appreciate the invitation and esteem Mexico as a critical country for the Flame of Love but I don't think it is wise to abandon my Father and Mother at this time of their greatest need.
My apologies to you all. Kindly pray for them and for the impact of this change upon the huge and very important trip promised and planned to Africa for the entire month of August.
May our Lord and Lady guide us.
John Sullivan III
International Coordinator
Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Movement
