Title: prayer for boy
Post by: Elizabeth on July 04, 2012, 11:30:56 AM
A boy named Dylan was walking around after the horrific storm we had last Friday night.  A power line struck him and he is in a coma.

I spoke with another Mom yesterday, her son was driving and a branch slammed through her son's windshield, impaling the seat, but it missed her boy.

The storm blasted out of nowhere.  There was no hint of its arrival. There were huge red and orange fireballs and 80 MPH straight-line winds.  Naturally the kids would have been curious.  Dylan could have been any of our boys looking to go rehash the dramatic storm with his buddies in person, because the power was out everywhere.  Ours were inside because they had friends over, but Moms were calling frantically to see if their kids were here.  Ours were inside only because they were [stupidly] expecting more to arrive.

Please offer a prayer for Dylan and his family, who are likely convulsing with grief and guilt for this tragedy.  I pray Dylan survives the coma and that the family is no coerced into premature organ donation or some such.

St. Aloysius, Patron of Youth, pray for us.

Thanks to you, dear gentlemen.

Everyone should keep a copy of the Prayer and Blessing Against Storms handy, and have properly blessed St. Benedict medals.

May Our Blessed Lord, Our Blessed Mother, and all the Angels and Saints come to the assistance of this child and his family.  They will be prayed for in my daily Rosary.

 May God reward your compassionate attention to this boy.  

I know feelings are not facts, but even I feel healed and humbled your generous prayers.

Thank you so much.  No update on Dylan yet, but we may be certain that God's will be done.

I am very sorry to say that I received a text saying they "have pulled the plug" on Dylan.

May Christ have mercy on us sinners.
