My mother-in-law Ana is in the final stages of Alzheimer’s. My wife has gone to comfort and care for her as they await the Lord’s call. This is a difficult visit for my wife, as she knows that it will be the last time she sees her mother in this world. Ana has received the Anointing, and is so childlike that I would venture that she is incapable of sinning at this point. Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated and will store up imperishable treasure in heaven for those who offer them. Christ’s peace be with all of you.
 
Loving God please comfort Jim’s wife and family as Ana leaves this world for the next. There have been so many losses as Ana has become more ill with Alzheimer’s.
Now her loving daughter is enduring the final loss.
Along with her family, she has suffered very much in the illness of her mother, and in seeing the sufferings of her own husband Jim in his illness and treatment.
Please flood Your healing and love into her heart and into Jim, and into all the family.
We ask the fullness of Your compassionate love and mercy for each member of Ana’s family
 
Lord Jesus Christ, who willest that no man should perish, and to whom petition is never made without the hope of mercy, for Thou saidst with Thine own holy and blessed lips: “All things whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, shall be done unto you”; I beg of Thee, O Lord, for Thy holy Name’s sake, to grant Ana at the hour of her death full consciousness and the power of speech, sincere contrition for her sins, true faith, firm hope and perfect charity, that she may be able to say unto Thee with a clean heart: Thou has redeemed me, O God of truth, who art blessed for ever and ever.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.
 
Hail Mary

Praying for a peaceful death for Ana and comfort to her loved ones.
 
Praying for Ana and all of your family.
“May the angels lead her into paradise.”
 
Jim, I will pray the Chaplet to the Divine Mercy for your mother-in-law Ana today.
 
I spoke with my wife this evening. Her mom’s temperature has dropped to 36c, with 37 being normal. I remember when my brother was taking care of our dad that his temperature also dropped just before the Lord called him.

A Rosary of the Sorrowful Mysteries prayed on Ana’s behalf. Amen.
 
May the Lord bless each of you for your prayers. They are a tremendous comfort, and help to build hope during this most holy time of her life.

A Rosary of the Joyful Mysteries prayed on Ana’s behalf. Amen.
 
Father,
your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters,especially for Ana. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realize that they are chosen to be saints, and know that they are joined to Christ in His sufferings for the salvation of the world, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forevever and ever.
~Amen~

A Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to You: to be without pity for those who are in suffering or distress. Look down on us, we beg of You and grant us the grace which we humbly and earnestly implore, through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother to whom You confided us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with You. Amen.

A PRAYER FOR THE VIRTUE OF TRUST
My trust is in sweet Jesus: He is my passport to heaven! I place my life in His gentle hands; He will guide me along the rainbow. My blind trust is His to guide, May my soul reflect His light. I look around and see Jesus’ help; I know He is worthy of my trust. Sweet Jesus, remain by my side, Never letting my trust be shaken! May I learn to share my trust with others, So Jesus will be known to all!

Most faithful St. Dymphna, you remained true to your baptismal promises to the very end. You are, therefore, honored, known, and loved after 1,400 years by people you have aided all over the world. We do not know how long or short a time is left to us of this life here, but help us in any case to be faithful to God to the end. Please gain for us the grace to live one day at a time as if each were to be our last.Please especially pray for Ana Amen.

God of power and mercy, you have made death itself the gateway to eternal life. Look with love on our dying sister Ana, and make her one with Your Son in His suffering and death, that, sealed with the blood of Christ, she may come before you free from sin. Amen.
