Please say a prayer for little baby Andrej who is about to be pulled off life support. He was born with unforeseen brain damage and is near death, and his parents and our whole family are devastated. He is my cousin's firstborn and what should have been a joyous moment has quickly turned to tears.

Please ask your readers to say a prayer that baby Andrej may find eternal rest in the arms of Our Lady and her Son, and that our family finds healing in what will undoubtely be a very difficult time.

Father, hear our pray for baby Andrej that he will find, as he surely will, eternal joy in the arms of Mary and Jesus and that this tragedy will be turned to gladness on the That Day when we all meet merrily in Heaven. Mother Mary, pray for Andrej and all who love him that they would find healing, grace, strength and consolation in the Holy Spirit. We ask all this through Christ our Lord. Amen!
