I have been asked by @londonistar to write a post about Baby Eddie, and am delighted to do so.
To be honest, until I was asked, I hadn't followed the story at all. I had seen the occasional tweet from @londonistar asking for prayers for Baby Eddie, said an Ave, and carried on.
However, having looked at the facebook page, I was profoundly moved by this story. Eddie was nearly drowned in a terrible accident in June, and has been in a coma ever since.
The facebook page charts his journey - and his parents' - from then to now, and very moving it is.
I was particularly touched, as a friend of ours was in a car accident a while back, and in a coma for several months, but is now recovering and astonishing her doctors at every turn. I hope and pray for the same happy outcome for Eddie. And ask you to pray for him too.
Here we go again! Comments on forcing table altars and forbidding Mass “ad
orientem”.

I’ve been asked by several people whether or not a diocesan bishop has
authority on his own to require only versus populum celebration of Mass in

Like you, I was slow to pick up on this one, but I'm running round Rome roping in as many saints and blesseds as I can.
My sister knows the family and notified me. Our hearts are breaking for them all. Everyday Alex and I check in on Eddie and some days I have the words but mostly I don't. Their Catholic faith is the best witness I have ever encountered. Pure love. No show just pure love. If you read Papa Waynes posts on Gods miracles you will see what I mean. I appreciate those of you who have been in touch already to offer prayers, Lourdes water and offer up Masses. Thank you. Praying for Beatrice was I hope a comfort to her mum through a difficult time. Tammy is suffering greatly and wants her baby home. Her pain is tremendous and affects me greatly as I know it does others. Please keep praying. If Catholic Twitter can bring any good it would be through a collective application to prayer for the life of this boy and many other children in comas. I can think of no greater pro life witness. God deliver him from his suffering and make him whole. Return him to his mother please.
And can I just add to that and say a big thanks indeed to Patti, Moira, Tony, Adrian, Gareth, Colette, Maureen and you for the continuing outpouring of prayers, candles, Lourdes water and Masses offered + the RTs. It *is* all making a difference of that there is no doubt. The family also value every like, post, comment they get. It is keeping them going.
