Support Ariana and Shane Roberts

This is a heavy season of adversity for Ariana, Shane, Leo, Luna and Michael - as Ariana courageously embarks on her battle with cancer and journey of healing and recovery. The weight of health, energy, time, effort and resources is daunting. We ask that you would prayerfully consider financially supporting their family during this critical time, so that they can more restfully focus on caring for Ariana with their hopeful, loving presence that she might thoroughly heal, rest and recover. We thank you for your willingness to consider helping in anyway that you can.

A Blessing Prayer in Difficult Times


by John O’Donohue

May you know tender shelter and healing blessing

when you are called to stand in the place of pain.

May the places of darkness within you be surprised by light.

May you be granted the wisdom to avoid false resistance and


when suffering knocks on the door of your life, may you be able to glimpse its hidden gift.

May you be able to see the fruits of suffering.

May memory bless and shelter you with the hard-earned light of past turmoil,

to remind you that you have survived before,

And though the darkness is now deep,

You will soon see approaching light.

May this give you confidence and trust.

May a window of light always surprise you.

May the grace of transfiguration heal your wounds.
