Default Boy, 18, in coma, accident, 2 friends killed

Please pray for the souls of the two young men killed this morning in this accident and for their families. Also, please pray for our 18 year old nephew, Ian, who has survived the accident, but is in ICU with a brain injury in a coma, and has a broken femur.

Saints that have come to mind in the moment for us from past devotions are Saint Joseph, Mary, Saint Anthony, Saint Philomena. I have also thought about asking Fulton Sheen for intercession after hearing about one of the miracles related to his cause. Please suggest Saints for intercession in this case of a brain inury.

Thank you....

Our Father,

We ask you to lay your hand on Ian. Please heal the brain damage he has suffered and bring him out of his coma. Give the doctors the wisdom they need to treat him. We are believing for a miracle, Lord. Thank you for wonderful love and care.

We also pray for the souls of the two men who were killed. Bless their families and give them strength to get through this hard time. Give them peace that only you can give.

Amen


Our Blessed Mother Mary,

Join us in praying for Ian. May he come out of this situation completely healed of his brain damage and broken femur. Also remember the families of the young men who passed away.

Amen


Saint Jude, Patron of desperate situations,

Please lift your voice in prayer with us.

Amen

St. Michael the Archangel protect us...

Lord Jesus only you can heal us, we ask for your presence and comfort over Ian and his family. We humbly ask for a miracle, Lord, for comfort and understanding in this situation.

For Ian's friends who were killed, have mercy on their souls and for their family who will now have to learn to live without them here on earth.

We ask this in your mercy Lord, amen.

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy departed servants the full remission of all their sins, that through our pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired, Thou who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
V. May thy divine assistance remain always with us.
R. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.


Prayer to Blessed John Paul the Great
O Blessed Trinity, we thank You for having graced the church with Pope John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of Your fatherly care, the glory of the cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Holy Spirit, to shine through him. Trusting fully in Your Infinite Mercy and in the maternal intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with You. Grant us, by his intercession, and according to Your will, the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon be numbered among your saints. Amen.

Eternal life grant unto the two young men who died O Lord
may perpetual light shine upon them
and may they rest in peace
Amen

Lord please hear our prayers for the young man in a coma.Please guide his doctors and please comfort all who love him Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Praying that Ian will make a full recovery from his injuries. Praying too for comfort for his family, and for the souls of his two friends and their families.
