Jim Willig

One day, when I thought I was alone, I prayed in church. While making this offering before the cross, a parishioner came up to me, put her arm around my shoulder and prayed, __ear God, please heal Father Jim. And give me his cancer._ I was incredulous. I looked at her, and then back to the Lord and quietly prayed, __f she insists, Lord, hear our prayer!_ Later I was able to pray, __ord, rather than give my cancer to her, give her heart of love to me _ the love that prompted her to deny her very self and pray in such a loving way.
