Kindly pray for the folks suffering from the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, where I was born and grew up.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Prayers definitely being offered – I’m in a bit of a shock. I remember crossing that bridge on a daily basis when I lived in Minneapolis, and riding my bike on the bike path below it regularly when I was in college.
For the dead, the injured and the mourning – gratiam et virtutem dona eis, Domine.
Christ Jesus, Have Mercy.
Prayers offered for those in the cars, their families and rescue workers.
May the Lord bless, console, and protect all those involved in this horrible happening and their families.
Thus will be added the list of special intentions form out family.
This afternoon before attending a play at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, my wife, daughter and I were enjoying the view from the theatre that overlooks the new park and the 35W bridge on the Mississippi. Within four hours the bridge had collapsed.
For the dead: REQUIEM aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.
For those who have lived through this, may Our Lord succor them and preserve them from further harm.
For those of us who feel undeservedly lucky at this moment, may Our Lord give us the grace to accept humbly the mysteries of His ways.
Please heed Fr. Zuhlsdorf’s plea for prayers; this event has shocked all of us who live here and love this city.
My brother’s workplace parkinglot is under that bridge. I have yet to reach him on the phone. Please pray for him. His name is John.
Father, Prayers have been offered and will continue to be
offered.
Done.

Prayers for all of the families and individuals affected by this terrible event.
My family and I were glued to Fox News and CNN online last night watching the events unfold.
We prayed a Divine Mercy chaplet for everyone last night.
Lord have mercy!

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on the victims, for You are gracious and love mankind.
I join all of you in prayer to God, asking for mercy on all people involved in this terrible situation.
Peter, please let us know if you hear from your brother. We will be praying!
Betty,
He is Ok! Thank you! Hopfully all the prayers said for him will bear spiritual fruit.
