A prayer request from Canada
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?
Couldn’t sleep, up at midnight (central time), will pray.

Comment by The Cellarer — 1 December 2008 @ 3:31 pmDone.
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?
