Prayers for Father Joseph Collins

  • I’m asking for prayers for Father Joseph Collins. Father has not been in good health for a while now and his condition seems to have gotten worse.
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

    No diagnosis yet.

  • Please update with details as you have them.
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Father Collins’ parents had a prominent role and were instrumental in the "birth" of St. Athanasius Chapel in Vienna, VA.
    According to a (mutual) friend who emailed me this morning, there are serious concerns. Please pray hard.

  • Just got this in my inbox: 

    Dear friends of ISOC:
     
    Many of you may recall that good Father Joseph Collins celebrated Mass for us at various ISOC conferences.  I'm sad to say that Father is experiencing a very serious medical problem.
     
    He has an enlarged liver, possible tumor and will have a CAT scan today. He will also be receiving the Last Rites this weekend.
     
    Would you in all Charity, please pray for Father Collins.
     
    Thank you.
     
    In the loving Hearts of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,

  • Most recent update email I got from a friend:

    Fr Collins' CAT-scan has revealed no cirrhosis and no cancer.  Drs. believe Fr. may have a blocked bile duct. Very good news! Please keep him in your prayers.

    Got this message this morning from a friend:

    "I just received a msg that Fr. Collins has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The msg came from a lady named Ann, whose husband Jeff was contacted Bishop Sanborn."

  • So the trail for the pancreatic cancer rumor:

    "a friend"->a lady named Ann->her husband Jeff->Bishop Sanborn-> ? ? ?

    I think we need to wait for some confirmation.
