sending prayers to the little boy and his family.
Most holy apostle st. Jude, friend of jesus,
i place this family in your care at this difficult time.
Pray for them; help them know
that they need not face their troubles alone.
Please join them in their need,
asking god to send them consolation in sorrow,
courage in fear,
and healing in the midst of suffering.
Ask our loving god to fill them
with the grace to accept
whatever may lie ahead for all of them and their loved ones,
and to strengthen their faith in god's healing power.
Thank you, st. Jude,
for the promise of hope
you hold out to all who believe,
and inspire me to give this gift of hope
to others as it has been given to me.
Amen
