In your charity, please remember my co-worker, Mary Dietz and her family.

On Saturday, her brother and sister-in-law were driving their twin 13 year old sons to a soccer tournament. They came across an auto accident that had just occurred minutes before. They pulled off the road to help the injured drivers as rescue units had not arrived yet.

A drunk drive in a pick-up truck came around the bend and hit them, killing the father and mother as well as the other 4 victims of the first accident.

The twin boys witnessed all of this and were not injured physically.

Mary is now the guardian of the twin boys, another son 16 who was taking his SAT's and a 19 year old who is in college.

Mary's husband was just released 2 weeks ago from colon sugery and her mother was diagnosed with cancer 5 months ago.

This accident took place in North Carolina.

thanks....

mark

Almighty Father in the abundance of your tender mercies wipe away their pain and torment. Grant them supernaturally your strength to withstand all of this craziness. Jesus, let them find you in the Eucharist, that together with you they may withstand all that is happening to them.

Most Holy Theotokos pray for them

Prayers......

May God be with them
Guide and keep them
Safe unto the journey's end
May He hold them, safe enfold them
With the peace that He can send


Let us pray for Unity In Christ!

Dear Mark:

I join you in fervent prayer for Mary for this unbearable string of tragedies that has befallen her family, especially for her twin nephews.

May Our Lord Jesus Christ bless this family through the loving embrace of His Mother!
