    We pray to Lord Jesus, Mother Mary and Saint Anthony for Walter Lobo to gain full consciousness from severe head injury and recover to his full self at the earliest.Also his family members from fractures. Walter is my childhood friend, kind, loving, helpful, great social worker and noble person. He is president and member of parish council of Ranipura Church. I request all catholic brothers,sisters and fraternity to pray for Walter and his family in this time of crisis.
    Lord Jesus Christ is all powerful, kind and great.
