Our daughter is pregnant with her first child.  An ultrasound indicates that the baby has no kidneys or bladder, a condition known as Potter’s Syndrome.  Without these organs, the baby will not produce amniotic fluid and the lungs will not develop.  Babies with Potter’s syndrome are not expected to survive more than 24 hours due to the undeveloped lungs.

We are asking Father Kapaun to intercede for Baby Clark.  We ask for prayers that the baby will arrive whole and healthy with fully developed lungs in April.

Dear Prayerful,

Yesterday I was visiting my 93 year old uncle, Msgr. Molloy.  He graduated from the seminary with Fr. Emil Kapaun.  He gave me his prayer card and asked that I pray for his canonization.  Today I received the tragic news that a friends nephew was killed in the Iraq war.  I firmly believe the Holy Spirit was at work and I’d like to request prayers for the family and the soldier.  His name was Luke Yepsen.  He leaves behind a mother, father, and brother.  They are from Houston, TX and he had many members in his extended family.  Please keep all of these members in your prayers as we pray for Luke and Fr. Kapaun.

God bless,

Father Kapaun, pray for us.

STORMING HEAVEN FOR CATHY HENDERSON

An Appeal from Helen Prejean, csj

Dear Sisters,

            Cathy Henderson is on death row in Texas, a very bad place to be on death row.  Texas has the busiest killing chamber in the U.S.  Already executed three women.  Now it looks like the state of Texas is going to kill Cathy, unless a miracle happens.  And that’s what brings me to you, my Sisters.  I’ve been Cathy’s spiritual advisor for three years.  I had met her in 1998 with the other women on death row in Texas when I visited Karla Faye Tucker and her friend, Pam Perrillo.  Three years ago I got a letter from Cathy, in which she said “I need to prepare myself for the worst.  If I am executed, will you be with me?  I think you could help me be calm.”

            It’s looking bad for her in the courts.  The Fifth Circuit Court, last court of appeal before the Supreme Court, just turned down her appeal.  And it is rare ~ very rare ~ that the Supreme Court considers death case appeals.  Cathy could be dead in a couple months.

            She made her appeal for your help in her letter to me last week: “Texas courts follow their own rules, their own laws, like it’s God.  They don’t care about justice.  But God is God, not Texas.  Please ask Sisters across America to pray for me.  I know that if thousands of nuns across this country raised their voices to God for me, God will hear them.”

            So, my Sisters, I ask you to pray mightily for Cathy.  Spread the word and ask others to pray for her, too.  If you are so moved, write to her and let her know you are praying for her.  Letters to condemned prisoners mean a lot.  Letters give dignity.  Letters say: “You are a human being.  I respect you.”

            Cathy Henderson, 999148 Mountain View Unit, 2305 Ransom Road, Gatesville, TX 76528.  There’s not much time.  Act quickly.  “God hears the cry of the poor.”

            Soon as we can organize the information, I’ll come to you with a second request for Cathy, asking you to write letters to the editor, the governor and to members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole.

Synopsis of Cathy’s case:

Sister Kathleen Regan, CSJ, Wichita – God’s healing power for skin cancer where chemo has not been successful.

URGENT – David Kristynik is in Iraq and ordered to Bagdad; his whole unit or squadron was told to call home – they were told that many of them would not survive.!!!

My father served with Fr. Kapaun in WWII.  They were very close friends and my father was the photographer of a number of photos in the 1st book about Chaplain Kapaun.  I am going through a very difficult time in my life.  I am a single mom with 4 children.  My husband chose to verbally and physically abuse me and I made a decision to be on my own than to let my children become what he is.  Financially I do not think I will make it.  I cannot find a job other than waitressing although I have a college degree and experience.  Personally I am lonely and scared and honestly think I am going to lose it but I pray to Fr. Kapaun because of his friendship with my father.  But, a little extra can't hurt.

We request a prayer for our infant son Joseph Anthony Volmert. 

Joseph was born last July 8th in Saint Louis, our fourth child, and he had elevated blood sugar levels.  After two days at St. Athnony's hospital, he was transferred to Cardinal Glennon's Children hospital in St. Louis.  He spent a week at Cardinal Glennon's. 

My father was a veteran of the Korean War and he pasted away in October of 2004.  During Joseph's initial days of life, I  prayed for my father's prayers, I thought also of Fr. Kapaun.  At the time I prayed to Emil Kapaun, knowing of his care for the sick during the Korean War, since I read numerous articles about Fr. Kapaun in the St. Louis Review , newspaper of the St. Louis Archdiocese. 

Upon my prayers to Fr. Kapaun, Joseph proceeded to get better and we brought him home a week later.  He is now 9 months old, however his pediatrician thinks that he may be delayed developmentally.  He cannot crawl nor articulate any sounds typical for a 9 month old.  We may be over anxious parents, however having nutured three children before Joseph, my wife and I think that something is not "right" with Joseph's development. 

We request your prayers and the intercession of Fr. Kapaun for our son and for our family.

I have suffered considerable nerve damage to my lower legs.  I have seen several doctors, but apart from ankle braces, support stockings, and pain medication, there seems little that they can do.  I am very unstable on my feet and have great difficulty walking. 

I have presumptiously anticipated Fr. Kapaun's sainthood, and have been praying to him for several weeks, asking that he interceed for me to our Merciful God for relief from this condition.  I ask that you join me in asking Fr. Emil for help.  Thank you.  

I would also ask that you offer a prayer of thanksgiving with me for William Maher.  His wonderful book "A Shepherd in Combat Boots" is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read.  It is a "must" for anyone working for Fr. Kapaun's cause.

My brother Ronn Heise is suffering from stage 4 stomach cancer.  He is 44 years old with a wife and four children.  Ronn has spent his life as a 
funeral director helping people cope with the loss of loved ones and in dignified service of the dead.  As a result of my oldest son teaching at 

Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School in Wichita, I have come to know and love Father Kapaun's service to his fellow prisoners and of his devotion to the 
dignified burial of the dead.  I have been praying to Father Kapaun for help in intercession for a miracle for Ronn.  I truly believe Father Kapaun is
a Saint and someday will be canonized.  I pray that one of his miracles will be a cure for my brother.  Please pray to Father Kapaun for his intersession.

I ask that you pray for a young man of 44 who found that he had type IV plus stomach and intestine cancer only a week and a half ago.  The cancer is 
moving rapidly and because of an infection in his feeding tube is not able to take the necessary treatments.  He is the father of four, and although he 
has remarried, his children lost their mother less than ten years ago.  Ron is a funeral director and a practicing Catholic.  He is at 
peace with God but asks for prayers for strength for himself and his family in the weeks to come.  A miracle is welcome if 
it God’s perfect will.

Sincerely,
