PRAYERS FOR VICTIMS OF DCA ACCIDENT
5:30 PM Vigil Mass on Saturday, February 1 Offered for Decease and Loved Ones
Dear Our Lady of Lourdes parishioners, visitors, and members of our local community,
I would like to express my condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died in the aircraft collision that occurred near Reagan National Airport on the night of Wednesday, January 29th. In a special way, our prayers accompany the souls of the deceased to God’s mercy. May they find peace and eternal light in His love.
The Mass intention for this Saturday’s 5:30 PM Vigil Mass will be for the deceased victims of the accident and their loved ones. The proper intention which was posted for that Mass in the bulletin has been transferred to Thursday, February 6th at 7:00 PM, which begins our parish’s Forty Hours Devotion.
May the mercy and goodness of God console the living and give eternal life to the deceased. Please keep all airline, airport, first responders, and government personnel who have been affected by this accident in your prayers. Moreover, please pray for everyone in our area, given that Reagan National Airport is an integral part of our community. Also, please remember the people of Wichita, Kansas in your prayers well.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the deceased rest in the peace of Christ.
Fr. Edlefsen
