    A prayer request from Canada

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULA — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 12:31 am

    From a reader:

    Hi Father,
     
    There was a horrific car accident in Vancouver, BC this weekend involving some friends of some fellow parishoners. One son is OK (1 yr old), one is in serious condition (8 yrs old), and two have died (6 and 9). The family is asking the public for prayers for the recovery of the 8 year old. Would it be possible to ask that we pray for this intention and for the souls of these two boys?

    1. Couldn’t sleep, up at midnight (central time), will pray.

      Comment by JeanS — 1 December 2008 @ 1:07 am
    2. My prayers for the children and the family. Asking for the intercession of St. Pio and our Blessed Mother, please pray for all involved.

    3. You have our prayers.

      Pax,

      Mike

    5. Just read it. They will be in my prayers.

      Comment by Mila — 1 December 2008 @ 10:50 am
    6. Of course you can have my prayers, what an appalling tragedy.

      Comment by Calleva — 1 December 2008 @ 12:41 pm
    7. I will keep them in my prayers.

      Comment by J. Wong — 1 December 2008 @ 1:37 pm
    8. All my prayers for everyone involved and for the souls of the two children. Sad!

      Comment by Matt Q — 1 December 2008 @ 3:22 pm
    9. Asking the intercession of St Benedict

      Comment by The Cellarer — 1 December 2008 @ 3:31 pm
    10. Done.

      But Father, aren’t these children still young enough to be sure to see Heaven? Do we really have to pray for their souls?

      Or does the age of reason, 7, begin the time when a child can commit a mortal sin and be held accountable?

      Comment by Chris — 1 December 2008 @ 7:55 pm
    11. what a tragedy. The whole family will be in my prayers.

      Comment by Brian O'Gallagher, Boston — 1 December 2008 @ 10:11 pm
    12. Done. God bless all the children.
