Fellow Catholics, I ask for your prayers for my BIL!! [View all]

Catholics out there.

I just received a call from my 85-year old brother-in-law from the hospital. Seems he took a bad fall and broke his hip and was en-route to the operating room when he called not long ago.

He sounded drugged up and I know he has heart troubles. I told him I'd pray for him (he is Catholic and from Ireland and goes to church every day) and he said thanks.

I really hope he comes out of it ok as I've known him since I was 20 years old, longer than I've known my husband and he is the family patriarch so to speak.

Prayers for my brother-in-law Bob, esp. those directed towards Our Lady of Lourdes!

As for myself, I'll try to hit the early Mass today to light a candle for him and have a word with the priest as well re: this.

Thanks you guys!
