Dear Lord, grant the six fishermen who lost their lives at sea this week grace at the moment of their awful overtaking. Thank you Lord.
"...pray, pray to the merciful Master for help... in their final agonizing moments, since for God time is infinitely malleable, and he will have heard what the poet (and the reader) asks even now, a month or a century on:
the prayer thou hearst me making
Have, at the awful overtaking,
Heard: have heard and granted
Grace that day grace was wanted...
It is all one can do. As for those precious souls... only God can be in at the end, only the Father can help there."
