Please pray for two distant acquaintances who were mangled by the houseboat's propeller. These two young men, with a very remarkable Catholic family history, are from the Canadian Prairies and probably not very familiar with boats, esp houseboats. Like, this family was promoting the Trad Latin Mass with Fr. Yves Normandin (R.I.P. +) before most of you were even born!
The incident goes something like this:
Friends were celebrating an upcoming wedding and were enjoying a houseboat experience on a lake. There were no girls invited.
The house boat was towing a large rubber tube - just for fun. At one point Mr. X standing on the boat was touching the rope and he accidently fell in the lake. I think his brother, Mr L, jumped in to rescue him but both were sucked in, under the boat, and were cut by the propeller. I will spare the details of their injuries but both have life-altering injuries.
Today Mr. L, married, will be allowed to come out of the induced coma...if he can even survive!! He lost his arm.
Mr. X had his foot sewn back on and we pray / hope he will make a speedy recovery.
Prayers to help all those affected.
"Hail Mary, full of grace..." +
