(JTA) — Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby again thanked the public for their expressions of concern over his still-missing son, Caleb.
“Never have the words ‘prayers’ & ‘praying’ so dominated my email inbox,” Jacoby tweeted at 2 a.m. Thursday. “The outpouring of concern for Caleb has been incredibly heartening.”
Jacoby also tweeted that his 10-year-old son, Micah, has been praying for his older brother’s return.
“Our 10-yr-old, Micah, has been reciting Psalm 121 each morning & night since his big brother Caleb went missing,” the tweet read.
The Psalm, which begins: “I lift my eyes up to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord…,” ends with: “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
Caleb Jacoby, 16, has been missing since midday on Jan. 6, when he reportedly left home. Police believe Caleb, an 11th-grader at the Maimonides School in suburban Boston, may be a runaway.
