I posted not long ago asking for prayers for my partner’s stepmother Jane, who was diagnosed with cancer only two weeks ago. The cancer was very aggressive, and her condition deteriorated very quickly over the past week.

She is now in palliative care, and the nurse tells us she is very close to the end of her life.

We have been praying for her comfort and peace, and it seems as if those prayers have been answered - she is no longer in pain, her heart-rate is steady, and she is sleeping peacefully.
She is in wonderful hands, and her loving husband is by her side, holding her hand.

Please help me pray for her as she spends her last moments on Earth, for her wonderful, caring, patient husband, and for her two beautiful daughters, so that they can remain strong and deal with her loss with as much peace and acceptance as possible.

Thank you, and God bless.

Anna.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility
and Mother of Hope,
look upon sparrow mouse and Jane in this time
of weakness and unrest.

Teach her searching heart
to know that God’s Love
for her is unchanging and
unchangeable, and, that
true human love can only
begin and grow by touching
His Love.

Let your gentle Peace -
which this world cannot give
  • be always with her.
    And, help her to bring this
    same Peace into the lives
    of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
  • Pray for us!
    Amen.
 
Hail Mary… now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
May God bless and comfort Jane as she nears the end of her time on Earth. I pray that her family will be strengthened and supported in their time of sorrow, and that Jane has a peaceful and painless passing.
 
Get someone to say a divine mercy chaplet at her side.

Jesus promised anyone who says the Divine Mercy chaplet in the presence of a dying person, that He will accept it as if that dying person had said the Divine Mercy chaplet all ther life , that He will give them great mercy at their hour of death,

Prayer For a Dying Person

May Christ Who was crucified for your sake free you from excruciating pain.

May Christ Who died for you free you from the death that never ends.

May Christ the Son of the living God, set you in the ever green loveliness of His Paradise, and may He, the true Shepherd, recognize you as one of His own.

May you see your Redeemer face to face and standing in His presence forever. May you see with joyful eyes Truth revealed in all its fullness.

Amen.

Such a solemn moment in the room as she is getting ready to move into eternity. Both her guardian angel and her husbands stand quietly by the side of their charges, looking on in wonderment as the moment approaches for her homegoing. She may not be aware of what is happening but her guardian angel is protecting her spiritually. Satan will not have the opportunity to attack this chosen soul. The minutes tick silently by one by one. Into the peace I can hear the softly spoken prayers being repeated by someone on CAF for the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. She knows and is bathed in the quiet light of God’s Mercy.

“Eternal Father, I offer you the body & blood, the soul & divinity of your dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.” *

At the moment of her release, she hears the call from eternity and begins to rise into the air, moving toward the all encompassing light that shines all around her. She murmurs a soft goodbye to those who waited with her in the room and casts a last loving look at her companion who was so stalwart in remaining by her side.

The light increases and with it the sound of singing of myriads of angels, fills the air. Her spirit rises jubilantly into the continual praise that surrounds the Lamb Who Sits On The Throne.

SHE HAS COME HOME!
 
I prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy continuously when my father was dying – it gave such comfort and hope. He died during the hour of great mercy.

Keeping you and the family in my prayers.
 
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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 our death, Amen.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity,
of Your Dearly Beloved Son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

Amen.
 
**Most dear Jesus,
filled with sorrow during the agony in the garden,
covered with a sweat of blood while praying,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
delivered into the hands of the wicked by a kiss,
bound like a robber,
and abandoned by your disciples,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
condemned to death by an unjust Council,
taken as an evildoer before Pilate,
and ridiculed by the wicked Herod,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
publicly shorn of your garments,
and most cruelly scourged at the pillar,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
crowned with thorns,
beaten and blindfolded,
clothed in rich purple and mocked,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
likened to the infamous Barabbas,
rejected by your people,
and unjustly sentenced to death,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
burdened with the weight of the Cross
and led to the place of execution like a lamb to the slaughter,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
reckoned with the wicked, blasphemed, and derided,
and given gall to drink to mitigate your pain,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
dying on the Cross in the presence of Mary,
pierced with a lance that drew blood and water from your side,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
taken down and placed in the arms of your Sorrowful Mother,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

Most dear Jesus,
horribly bruised and marked with five wounds,
annointed for burial and placed in a tomb,
have mercy on us, O Lord.

My Jesus,
I thank you for dying on the Cross for my sins.
Have mercy on us, O Lord.

Amen.

Praying for her to have peace & comfort as she awaits God’s embrace. Praying for her family.
 
As other posters have mentioned, please try to say the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at her bedside.

To thee I have recourse, St. Joseph, patron of the dying, because thy blessed death was watchfully assisted by Jesus and Mary. I earnestly recommend the soul of your servant, Jane, in the sufferings of her agony, to Jesus, Mary and you, that she may, by the protection of your Holy Family, be delivered from the snares of the devil and from eternal death, and may merit to attain everlasting joy. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
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 our death. Amen.

O Jesus, who art pleased with simple and humble persons, who are so often ignored, forgotten and despised by men, raise to the glory of Thy altars Thy humble Servant Alexandrina, who always desired to live hidden from the world and aloof from its vanities and praises. Thou well knowest, Lord Jesus, how in our times there is need of lessons in holiness, which is the true fulfilment of every human and Christian vocation and, consequently, the elevation of a creature to the supreme height of moral beauty. Invest then, O Jesus, Thy Servant with the immortal halo of glory and hear our prayers, which we through her intercession offer to Thee; especially grant us the favour which we ask ( the soul of Jane) if it be for the honour of Thy Blessed Name, the glory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the salvation of sinners, on whose behalf the pious Alexandrina so wholly and generously offered herself a victim. Amen.
Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa, pray for us!

:highprayer:

Almighty and Everlasting God, preserver of souls, who does
correct those whom Thou does love, and for their betterment
does tenderly chastise those whom Thou does receive, we
call upon Thee, O Lord, to grant Thy healing, that the soul of
Thy servant Jane, at the hour of its departure from the body,
may by the hands of Thy holy Angels be presented without
spot unto Thee.
Amen

Lord, look upon this family with eyes of mercy. May Your healing
hand rest upon them, soothing their pain. May Your life giving powers
flow into every cell of their bodies and into the depths of their souls,
cleansing, purifying, restoring them to wholeness and strength for
service in Your Kingdom. Through Christ Our Lord,
Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on them.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for them.
St. Joseph our protector, pray for them.
Amen
