Prayer Request

A reader writes:

Could you post a prayer request? A member of the parish where I went through RCIA was killed in a plane crash. He was the local basketball coach and physical education teacher for the elementary school, and It’s hit the community hard, especially the kids (who considered him one of their favorite teachers). He was a member of St. Mary, and leaves behind a wife and two children (one of whom just graduated last year). He was 54.

Father, hear our prayer for your son and his family through our Lord Jesus. Grant him eternal light and peace and his family comfort, strength and provision in this time of trial. Mother Mary and St. Joseph pray for them and obtain for them the help and grace they need through Jesus Christ our Lord. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
