Dear friends in Christ,

Your prayers are requested for The Very Rev. Dr. Jay Koyle who is presently in ICU in Sault Ste Marie.

Dean Jay’s devoted wife Susan is with him. At this time visitors are restricted to family only. Please keep in your prayers, Dean Jay’s mother Mrs. Irene Koyle and his sister Ms. Julie Koyle in London, Ontario, as well as Susan and Jay’s sons Stephen and Kevin.

We pray that as he rests Dean Jay will experience the peace of Christ as it comes to him through the loving care of human hands in the days ahead; and that Susan will know the care that is all around her and be given the strength to meet the days ahead. We give thanks for the gift of medicine, the care of doctors and nurses and the support of family and friends in this difficult time.

Let us pray,

“Gracious God, Father of all mercy and giver of all comfort, look with compassion on Jay. Give him a clear understanding of your great love for him and that in quietness and trust he may find his rest in you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen”

“God our Father, be with all who love Jay. Watch over and protect them, strengthen their faith, unite them in your love and fill them with peace and confidence in your goodness, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen” ( South African Prayer book)

I remain yours in Christ,

+Anne
