I request the prayers for my mother, Connie, as she transitions to a hospice service. Two immediate benefits is that she now has an air mattress bed to keep her comfortable and to prevent bedsores and she also has a comfortable wheelchair for her slender body.
She is weighed at the beginning of each month. On January 2nd, she weighed 76 pounds, which is near critical. Today, (on her mother's birthday), she weighted in at 69 pounds. Her medications are being adjusted and she may become more alert during visits. Her body is at a tender point. May God be gentle with her.
I am a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province who has an avocation of binding art and creativity to spirituality. I have a SoWa (South End) studio in Boston and I give retreats and spiritual direction using creative techniques to make a person's Ignatian prayer particular and unique. Ignatian Spirituality is the cornerstone of my work; art, poetry, prose is a way to help us get to the heart of conversations in prayer.
