From reading Emily's blog (snowbabiesmom) it looks like the next few days and weeks are crucial for Matthew Karol. Things could change for them at any time.
I am hoping we can set up a "round the clock" prayer vigil for Matthew Karol, so that at any time, day or night, Emily and her family can be assured that someone from this board is praying for them.

To sign up for a time, just copy and paste this message into a new window and add your name. More than one person can sign up for a time slot- more is even better So many of us are up through the night at various times for various reasons, anyway- what better time to pray?

May Our Blessed Mother continue to hold Emily and Matthew in her arms.

***Edited by Jen (Mackfam)***

I don't know how to copy and paste , but gladly I'll take the midnight hour (can someone tell me what time zone or just do midnight in our own timezone?)

We are praying for Emily and her baby.

What time zone are you working on Melinda? Then I can work out what early morning shifts I can fill down in Australia by my time zones.

Thank you for starting this, Melinda! I'm assuming this is tomorrow, right?

Anne - I am the world's worst at trying to figure out time zones...if someone can say central minus one (which is I think Emily's time zone) or something like that it would be helpful. Anybody know their timezone?

I'll pray the Rosary for Emily and Matthew at 2 p.m. I can't figure out the cut and paste thing either. I'll pray it at EST, unless someone posts a different plan. Thanks for starting this Melinda!

Thank you Melinda, I've worked out that we are exactly 14 hours ahead. I'll do the 1AM to 2AM..if no one fills the next hour, I'll continue on, but I'm officially down for that time.

I'm also open to moving my time slot to later in the wee hours of the morning if that suits a US girl..I'm flexible.

I'm happy though, that time is the Australian MERCY hour 3pm to 4pm. Very fitting. I'll be offering mercy chaplets in that hour.

Hi Anne, Jennifer & Melinda,
I would love to be apart of this prayer chain, Aussie time 12pm would suit me or some time around 10pm/11pm Aussie time how's that looking??.
Not sure how to convert Aussie time to US times. If 10pm/11pm can correlate to a time slot that is available in the US, that would be great.
If not let me know what slot would be good for us??
God Bless
Praying here, I kinda know what Emily's going through, may Our Lady give her strength and peace.

**Ok Chemai, I've done the calculating..if you do 11pm it would fit a spare slot..if you do think this is too late, I can change it to 9pm your time...that would also fit a spare slot.

I updated for you, Nancy.

I'm also going to copy and paste the most updated version in Melinda's original post as I think that will be easiest for reference.

I'll take the 2 a.m. and will stretch onward if no one else signs up (if I've done my math right, that's starting at 8 p.m. here, so it's not as sacrificing as it sounds )

THANK YOU FOR STARTING THIS!!

We have been offering our 7 a.m. rosary for Matthew so I'll add 7 a.m (Eastern) rosary for Emily and Matthew and family! Thanks so much for organizing this!
Also offered our Mass today for them!
