I am keeping a friend’s brother (and the whole family) in prayers today.

Pete is a history teacher at a Catholic high school in the Philadelphia area. A couple of years ago he got married. Last year he was diagnosed with leukemia.

Despite many treatments, including an out-of-state bone marrow transplant, Pete has been unable to beat the disease. Now he and his wife are across the country, in a hospital, with no family around, and Pete has pneumonia.

His mom is on her way to be with him, and other family members are working on travel arrangements as well.

Please pray for Pete and his family at this time.
