Prayer Vigil for Eric


Our students gathered around Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to pray for her intercession for the healing of Eric LeGrande, the Rutgers football player
who was severely injured in a game a few weeks ago.
In the candlelit vigil, our fingers passed over the beads of the rosaries
as our lips prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries of he Holy Rosary.
At Benedictine Academy, we believe in the power of prayer
and the mystery of the Eucharist.
"Amen I say to you, if two of you agree on earth
about anything for which they are to pray,
it shall be granted to them by My heavenly Father.
For where two or three are gathered in My Name,
there I am in the midst of them. "
Matthew 18:19-21
