Thank you for your prayers. Please now pray for the repose of his soul, he just died a short time ago.

Into your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brother Fr. Aidan.
In this life you embraced him
with your tender love;
deliver him now from every evil
and bid him enter eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome him, then, into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow,
no weeping or pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
for ever and ever.
Amen.

 

[Hawkmaid]

No idea what that is, but I can still pray! Sacred Heart of Jesus, You who suffered so greatly at the hands of the very people You created, if it be God’s will, heal this servant of God, he who stands for Jesus during the Mass. Keep him close to You. Amen.

May your Pastor rest in peace and the God of all comfort be with those grieving.

Mary.

Prayer for a Miracle

God of all creation, you who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from
the darkness, I ask you now to send forth your miracle-working power to heal Phemie’s Pastor. You cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind and by
speaking a simple command, you empowered the crippled to rise up and walk.
You sent forth your life-giving power to all those in need, including those you raised from
the dead. I ask you to send forth your healing power into Phemie’s Pastor’s body and give him the strength to fight his illness. I ask this through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

 

[Phemie]

Give him eternal rest, O Lord,
and may your light shine on him for ever.
Amen.

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen. †

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen. †

Jesus, Help Me

In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust, saying,
Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations,
Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials,
Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows,
Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts,
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Thy grace alone can assist me,
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Thy tender love as Father and Savior,
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me,
Jesus, help me!

When sickness and loneliness overcome me,
Jesus, help me!

Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †

Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.
Sweet Heart of my Jesus, grant that I may always love You more.
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of You.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like Your Heart.

Amen. †

Prayers said. All will be well. Do not fear, the Lord is protecting you.
Do not be lonely, your guardian angel is beside you.
Be comforted, Mother will watch over you, and the
Holy Spirit will guide you.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †

Thank you for your prayers. Please now pray for the repose of his soul, he just died a short time ago.

Phemie posted today, Jan. 24, 2016, on another thread:

To those of you who have been praying for his health, thank you.

Since my prayer request Fr. Aidan was called home by our Father. He was ready to go, had made his peace with God and had requested that no extraordinary measures be used to keep him alive. Pray now for the repose of his soul.

I added to my original post but it appears that few have seen it.

I attended the wake and Rosary this afternoon and will be returning to the funeral home this evening for the Funeral Vigil. The funeral is tomorrow after which his body will be flown to the diocesan see for a wake at the Cathedral on Tuesday and Mass and burial on Wednesday.

Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
