Prayers for the Recovery of Fr. Elmer Wurth

We have received word from Maryknoll that Fr. Elmer Wurth had a bad fall at his family's home in Ohio last Thursday.  He broke both his hip and his collarbone in the fall. 

Fr. Elmer has already undergone surgery for a hip replacement, and will need a period of therapy to regain his ability to walk properly again.  There was nothing the doctors could do for the collarbone, so that will be a long, natural healing process.  

According to Fr. Elmer's nephew, Gary, despite his painful injuries and surgery, Fr. Elmer remains in good spirits. 

Please keep Fr. Elmer and his recovery in your prayers.
