00:00:00.000 Hey everyone, John Henry Weston here. I wanted to give you a quick update on my daughter Mary
00:00:04.940 Catherine. I want to thank you first of all for your prayers. So if you want to stick around and
00:00:09.640 hear the details of the update, please do.
00:00:30.000 Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son
00:00:37.320 and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. So as many of you know, my daughter Mary Catherine
00:00:44.080 had experienced some trauma a couple weeks ago and was in hospital for 13 days and thousands
00:00:53.420 and thousands of you prayed. And I want to say how grateful we are for all of your prayers,
00:00:58.760 for many of your suggestions and wanted to give you an update on what's going on. So after
00:01:05.120 going to hospital, as I mentioned before, in ambulance, almost losing her on the way,
00:01:11.660 many, many tests and a diagnosis of Hashimoto's encephalitis. We thought she might be in hospital
00:01:18.440 even longer. And actually the very day she came out, I taped a show saying that it looks like
00:01:25.060 even though we thought she might be released, it looks like they're going to have to spend a few
00:01:30.600 more days. She was in fact released that day. It was the day after all the torrents of thousands
00:01:37.120 and thousands of prayers really ascended to our Lord to help her out. She came home and
00:01:45.640 things are challenging at home. Mary Catherine is able to walk a little bit. She's, but she can't
00:01:56.340 overdo it. She seems to go through convulsions and have breathing difficulties whenever she 0.66
00:02:05.460 overdoes it. Um, here's a look at what she's experiencing.
00:02:14.160 Yeah. Bend your knees up. 0.98
00:02:19.180 I don't want them. They're heavy.
00:02:23.880 I know. Do you want to sit up a bit more?
00:02:26.000 Okay, Mary, do the square breathing. 0.99
00:02:27.440 Come on, deep breath in.
00:02:29.780 Deep breath out. Hold it.
00:02:31.520 I can't hold my breath.
00:02:34.380 Deep breath. It's okay. Just hold it deep as you can.
00:02:37.520 I can't swallow.
00:02:40.540 Yeah.
00:02:41.220 There's nothing there.
00:02:42.160 Do you want to spit stuff out or do you have too much saliva in your mouth or are you okay for now?
00:02:46.720 There's no saliva. It's empty.
00:02:48.760 Good. That's good.
00:02:49.740 Maybe that's how it is.
00:02:50.820 Those things she experiences, usually about twice a day, um, they can last even as long
00:03:00.340 as 45 minutes. As you can imagine, that's very challenging for, uh, for my wife and family
00:03:06.020 to deal with. And so I would, uh, ask and beg you to, uh, continue your prayers for Mary Catherine.
00:03:12.840 One of the, um, sadder things is that I've got to inform the school where she was that, uh, at least
00:03:21.120 for this semester, she can't attend. So Mary Catherine has told me that, you know, after I spoke
00:03:28.980 with her, she's offering up her sufferings, uh, in union with our good Lord's sacrifice on the cross
00:03:34.380 for the Holy souls in purgatory that, uh, she realizes that she's called to this battle right
00:03:40.660 now. And, uh, I'm going to ask you to pray for all of you. I know many of you are suffering
00:03:45.860 as well. Um, there's a really neat, uh, story in hospital. She was next to, um, another person
00:03:53.560 who was in with his child for a month and, uh, he had overheard talk of, of, uh, the video
00:04:00.820 that I did going viral and a lot of people praying and, uh, he watched it and it turned
00:04:05.900 out he too is a believer and, uh, was grateful for the shared prayers and the shared, uh, suffering.
00:04:13.760 So may God bless all of you. I thank you sincerely for my whole family, for your continued prayers
00:04:21.080 for Mary Catherine, for all your offerings of, um, good wishes and, um, and support. May God
00:04:30.260 bless all of you. I, uh, I pray that, um, all of you who are sick and suffering might
00:04:37.400 like Mary Catherine is, and, and she needs to be supported in, continue to offer up all
00:04:43.760 of your prayers, your sacrifices, your sufferings in union with the Holy sacrifice of the mass.
00:04:50.000 With that, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. And really the suffering souls,
00:04:58.640 as we read from, um, St. Faustina, are the ones that keep the world in existence, are the ones
00:05:05.720 that our Lord especially chooses to do the heavy lifting on earth. We might think that, you know,
00:05:11.560 those who are in politics or high up, or even maybe perhaps, you know, popes or bishops or priests
00:05:17.760 or whatever are the ones that are really the power movers and shakers, uh, in terms of the spiritual
00:05:24.380 life. But, uh, it's not so. The suffering souls, the little ones who are suffering and offering
00:05:31.560 their sufferings in union with Christ are the ones that are really making a difference in today's
00:05:36.200 world. Thank you once again for all your prayers. Thank you for you suffering souls who are offering
00:05:43.920 up all of your prayers, works, joys, sacrifices, and sufferings in union with the Holy sacrifice of the
00:05:49.680 mass. For Life State News, this is John Henry Weston, and may God bless you.
