      Please pray for BROTHER JOHN SHAYNE’S health which is rapidly declining. John was released from therapy and was home only for a few weeks when another brain tumor was discovered during a routine control. Unfortunately, the cancer returned within just 3 months of eradicating the last tumor, and at a much more aggressive rate. This recent tumor is not operable, and the Doctors give John just a few weeks to live.

    If you wish to visit him at his home in Shavano Park, here is the address and phone number:
      John & Bonnie Shayne
        112 Painted Post Lane
        Shavano Park, TX 78231
        210-493-2686

      One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.  In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.  This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”  The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
      PRAY THE ROSARY

      Please keep John in your prayers, pray for his wife Bonnie and their entire family. 

      Thank you once again for all your prayers and those who have been able to visit.

Your Friend in Christ,
