Please pray with me – At Least 66 Killed in Poland Roof Collapse

KATOWICE, Poland – The snow-covered roof of a convention hall in southern Poland collapsed Saturday with as many as 500 people inside for a racing pigeon exhibition, killing at least 32 60 66 people and injuring at least 141 160.

A priest outside the building’s entrance prayed over the bodies of an adult and a child covered by a blanket and a tarp, as rescue crews and search dogs worked frantically through the night in subfreezing temperatures to save those trapped inside.

Please pray along with me:

O Lord God, Father of Mercy, grant calmness and control of thought to those who are facing uncertainty and anxiety; let their hearts stand fast, believing in the Lord. Be Thou all things to all men, knowing each one and his petition, each house and its need. For the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen

O Merciful God, Father of the Crucified Christ! In every sorrow which awaits us may we look up to You without doubt or fear, persuaded that Your mercy is ever sure. You cannot fail us. There is no place or time where You are not. Uphold us in our grief and sorrow, and in our darkness visit us with Your light. We are Yours; help us we beg You, in life and in death to feel that we are Yours. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
