Prayer bump for a good and decent man.

EWTN is the Catholic cable network. It is probably somewhere on your local basic cable. If I saw a photo of this poor man, I would probably recognize him.

Orlando is one of the worst cities for accidents involving a pedestrian.

Father Benedict Groeschel

CRISIS Magazine - e-Letter

January 12, 2004

Dear Friend,

I'm afraid I have some very bad news. As you may have already heard,
Fr. Benedict Groeschel, founder of the Franciscan Friars of the
Renewal in New York City and long-time friend of CRISIS, was struck
by a car last night and is now in the hospital in critical
condition.

Details are still sketchy, but sources say that Fr. Groeschel was
walking to a restaurant in Orlando when he was hit by a car near the
Orlando International Airport. He's now in intensive care at the
Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical but stable condition.

We spoke with Fr. Groeschel's assistant this morning who confirmed
the news, saying that the situation didn't look good. "We need
nothing short of a miracle," she said.

At this point, the most important thing we can do is pray. The
Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) is broadcasting a Holy Hour
for him this morning, and Fr. Groeschel's assistant requested that we
ask for prayers from St. Francis, the founder of the order, and St.
Augustine, who has been Fr. Groeschel's favorite all his life.

Father Groeschel is one of the most powerful voices for the Church
in this country and around the world. Not only that, but he's been
absolutely selfless in his generosity to numerous Catholic
apostolates, including this one. I know you don't need any
encouragement from me to pray for this truly holy man.

I'm very sorry for the bad news, but I knew you'd want to be kept
informed. I'll let you know as soon as we learn anything new.

Best,

Deal

May G-d restore him to health !

I have known Fr. GROESCHEL for a long time. We know him only as Fr. BEN. In 1973, he was a celebrant at our wedding Mass; we have some wonderful pictures of him.

I can only tell you that he is the most wonderful, caring Priest that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. If GOD has decided that he must come to Heaven, then it is our great loss and Heaven's great gain.

We can and will pray for him; the wisdom of GOD will reign.
