A priest in our diocese has cancer that has spread throughout his body. They thought he was moving in the right direction, but then his doctors found the mass was growing again and, ultimately, it did not respond to further treatment. Long story short, he is going to die. He let his congregation know in his final Masses. Please pray for him, a restful sleep and a place in Heaven. He is a good man.
It struck me how hard it must be to know you’re going to die in a few days or even weeks. What would you do? Try to see as many loved ones as possible? Spend time on your own? Would you even sleep? This is so difficult to think about, and of course harder to experience. So please also pray for all of those people in this situation, for a peaceful death and a joyful meeting with the Lord.
Thank you.
