please pray!

Sorry to overshadow the light-hearted anecdote listed below, but I have an urgent appeal for prayers. A student that my friend Ali taught last year at Mt. Carmel High School attempted suicide this morning and is now in very serious condition. He’s being taken to Belize City right now, hopefully the hospital there is more advanced and will be able to help him. His name is Bernard, he’s in second form (a sophomore) right now and is just an awesome kid—it’s a joy to be in his presence. He was able to receive his first communion and make his first confession this afternoon. Please pray for him!
