Prayers For Father David Linnebur

Father David Linnebur

This post is not the usual one about the new Parish Church, it's more important. Father David Linnebur, a priest of the Wichita Diocese, and my classmate, is very very ill with cancer. He is not very old and this is a sad thing for his parishioners. His Bishop, Bishop Michael Jackels (was ordained a priest in 1981, a year before Father Linnebur and I) has asked that the people of the Diocese of Wichita (but anyone can do this) pray to Jesus, through the intercession of Father Kapaun, for a miraculous cure of Father David Linnebur who is gravely ill with cancer. (Fr. Kapaun was a priest of the Wichita diocese a few decades ago, and the diocese is forwarding his cause for Sainthood to the Vatican.) If a miracle occurs, it would help towards the cause for Father Kapaun's canonization. Below, is the prayer that you to say daily, either as a family or individually. Thank you for joining in this very sacred cause.

Prayer to Fr. Kapaun

Father Emil Kapaun gave glory to God by following His call to the priesthood and thus serving the people of Kansas and those in the military. Father Kapaun, I ask your intercession not only for these needs which I mention now . . . but that I too may follow your example of service to God and my neighbor. For the gifts of courage in battle and perseverance of faith, we give you thanks O Lord. Recite one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

I am going to send along information to Father Linnebur, and his parish, to ask for the intercession of Travis Chuff in their prayers on behalf of Father Linnebur. Travis was a young man of 18 who died on December 5, 2004, the Year of the Holy Eucharist. Everytime Holy Communion was brought to Travis, he would always receive Holy Communion on his knees. This included when he was near death. I would ask you too to ask Travis to intercede on behalf of Father Linnebur, and please pass this along to others on your prayer list. God Bless...
