Asking for prayers.

For those of you who pray, please ask God's mercy for a dear friend of mine whose wife lost a baby today to an ectopic pregnancy. They've spent most of their Independence Day in the ER and surgery, and the outcome for her body is still uncertain. Thank you.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

UPDATE: She came out of surgery and, after a night in the ICU, is stable and doing well. Now please continue to pray for the healing of their hearts. Thank you to all who have been praying!
