Tomorrow afternoon a mother and father will bury two of their 3 children. It is unthinkable, unimaginable and a tragedy beyond words. I ask for prayers for the family and friends of Alexander, Gabrielle, and Adrianna. I have included a small portion of an article explaining what happened to these beautiful children. God please help their parents find peace through this time of grief.

SYLVAN LAKE — This week several vigils were held at Chaldean churches across metro Detroit, where members of the close knit community gathered to pray for the victims of the horrific boating accident that took place on Sunday and left two siblings, ages 11 and six, dead and another, 10, in critical condition, who’s fighting for her life.
The father of the three children, John Mansour, was riding his jet ski, while towing his three children behind in a tube, when a speed boat accidentally ran the kids over.
Sources say the 56-year-old man who hit the children is very distraught and simply didn’t see them.
Alexander, the eldest of the children, was transported to McLaren Hospital in Pontiac, where he was pronounced dead. The girls were rushed to William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, where the youngest, Gabrielle, died on Monday; the same day a candlelight vigil was held at the St. Thomas Chaldean Catholic Church in West Bloomfield.
Over 1,000 people attended the vigil that was patrolled by police, in order to control the traffic. People who weren’t related to the family came to offer prayers for Adriana, who is still fighting for her life.

Sources close to The Arab American News say that relatives of the Mansour family have packed Beaumont Hospital for days now.
 
Lord, in ways beyond the powers of we in this temporal, fallen pilgrimage and exile, please touch this family as they are confronted with strife untold. Mend their hearts, and somehow, through the mystery of suffering, draw them close to your Sacred Heart, now and forever, as lights of your love and healing. Embrace the children sustaining temporal death into the eternal garden of life and joy, to keep until they are reunited with their family. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
Most Loving please grant this family the strength, guidance protection and patience

Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . 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
 
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

Our Father, Who art in heaven hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
This is heart breaking

Praying for the little girl and her parents.

Our Father who art in heaven

I just said a prayer for the repose of the souls of Alexander and Gabrielle, and for Adriana. God bless you.
 
Thank you for the prayers. God bless you all ! Please continue to pray. Adrianna is still in critical condition. I wanted to also share that John and Ann Mansour decided to donate Gabby’s organs which saved the lives of 4 children.
