Pray for Madeleine


She's been missing since May 3rd when she disappeared from a hotel room in Portugal while her family was vacationing. She is four years old. Just this week in Vatican City, the Pope met with her parents, blessed them, and a photo of Madeleine. We are all called to pray for this little girl, even if we haven't as of yet, let us do so now. Not because they are Catholic, not because the Pope met with them, but because they are parents very much in pain over the likely abduction of their daughter.

Lord, Father God,
Please be with the McCann family now in a way they've never felt, offering them the comfort they need to sustain. And please, just God, return Madeleine to their side safely. May she be found healthy and if she was taken, may her abductor see the error of their ways, have a conversion of heart, and hand her over safely.
May your will be done in all things.
Thank you, Lord, we love you.
Amen.
