Urgent Prayer Request

Please pray for Catholic writer and blogger Donna Marie Cooper O'Boyle and her son. Here is her request:

Please pray for my son who was just beat up by a gang of 8 or ten men outside his college dorm. He was protecting a friend who they were beating up and they said they were going to kill my son! He says he is doing okay. More later but putting out a urgent request for prayer. God bless and love, Donna
