February 7, 2007, In a recent auto accident the impact totaled my old
automobile. My immediate thought was disappointment as I had invested
heavily in repair of the old car only weeks before, hoping to keep it on
the road for another season. I consoled myself with the apostolic
teaching that all things work for good to them that love God and that it
was my place to endure and await what mercy God would reveal within the
apparent misfortune.. After the initial bruising and pain wore away it
became apparent that my chronic back pain was significantly reduced [the
impact had worked like a severe chiropractic treatment]. It is now
easier for me to stand in church to chant. Perhaps other blessings
remain to be discovered. As a nurse myself I look to St Panteleimon and
the other Unmercenary
Healers, to our dear Lady Theotokos and to my patron the Holy New Martyr
Peter the Aleut for their intercessions to the merciful Lord Jesus. I
thank Him and them for their continued patience and love toward this
sinful, Peter, Mt. Morris, NY, USA

Christ through the intercession of St. Panteleimon and the Theotokos and

Tuesday, March 29, 2005, Henrietta was hospitalized with a very serious
heart condition shortly after Thanksgiving 2004. A Protestant, her
Orthodox nephew posted her name at the Shrine and lit a vigil for her.
She remained in critical condition and intensive care for weeks. She may
have suffered several heart attacks after admission--one occurred during
a hospital evaluation. Survival was seriously questioned.
By the grace
of God and the intervention of the Most Holy Mother of God and the All
Merciful Panteleimon she was released from the hospital late in January.
Relatives report that she “looks wonderful” and “is doing very well”
though she has 90-95% blockage and is not eligible for a stint. Macular
degeneration prevents many activities, but family members drive her on
outings and to church.
Blessed be God in His Saints!
Christ is Risen! + Indeed, He is Risen!
Mary Henrietta___ , born 1919, reposed June 04, 2005, having been
granted a longer and more pleasant life than her condition led us to
expect. May she know the joy of being with Christ today and forever.
Memory eternal!

Robin, who suffered a spontaneous abortion a couple of years ago, has
been taken to hospital several times because indications were that she
was about to have another. The most recent hospital admission was for a
C section but, again careful monitoring after admission, resulted in her
being sent home.
While signs remain the same, all hope the pregnancy can be maintained as
long as possible. Robin is "due" near the end of September. Vigils were
lit and prayers said before St. Panteleimon, before the Shrine’s Icon of
“The Image of the Church” (showing Christ in the womb of His Mother) and
in the
Temple.
Update:
Robin's daughter, weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces, was delivered by C section
at 12:15
a.m. September 2, 04; both mother and daughter are doing well.

Helen, has several health problems including diabetes. She is also on
dialysis. Her husband, a male nurse and her primary care giver, called
to say that a little more than a month ago he feared her condition was
not only terminal but imminently so. He wants it known that she now
"seems like a different person." Previously forbidden oats, improvements permitted its
reintroduction into her diet. At her most recent examination doctors
were amazed that her cholesterol has (in a short time) gone from 200 to
120, told her that her anti-cholesterol medication was working very well
and were surprised when she told them that persistent side effects had
forced her to discontinued it. Her husband is thankful for the obvious
improvement in her condition, tells us that she does light housework and
is able to walk from her wheel chair to the bed.
