Prayer Requests

Please pray for this family–the husband, David, was my husband’s best friend from high school. He and two of his sons died tragically while out on a hike in MO over the weekend. He leaves behind his wife and 3 other children.

The story has received national media attention and what sickens me are the vile and heartless comments that people from across the country have posted on the media outlets. Have we no compassion anymore for fellow human beings?

Father, hear our prayer for the repose of the souls of this man and his sons, and for the family he leaves behind that they will received the help and support they need in this black hour through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for them!

Also, of your charity, could all you good people please pray for the repose of the soul of our friend Monica Dodds, whose funeral is in less than an hour. Also, please pray for her husband Bill and all who love her. Thanks! You guys are fantastic.
