So very sorry. Praying.

 

[Dorothy]

May your beloved sister Marcella rest in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ, and His holy Blessed Mother.

 

[angell1]

Please pray for the repose of the soul of my eldest sister Marcella. She was 20 years older than me and more like a mother.
She was a very devout Catholic with a special devotion to Our Lady of Good Success.
She died today, massive heart attack at assisted living.
She lives very far from me, so I’m grieving from afar.
Thanks friends,
Clare

my condolences, clare, I will pray for her

 

[Beryllos]

Clare, I am very sorry for your loss. I pray for your sister Marcella, and for you and all your family.

Eternal rest grant unto Marcella, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

And may the Lord bring you comfort and peace.

 

[Luz_Maria]

My prayers continue for Marcella and for your Family, Clare.

I pray this Litany for my loved ones and I just finished praying it for Marcella.

In order to make it easier to follow, I changed the color of the response every time the response changes. Tip: When “requesting” from God, Lord, or the Holy Spirit the response is direct: hear our prayer, deliver her, have mercy, etc. When we “request” from St. Michael, the holy martyrs, et al., we ask them to "pray for X " or to intercede for X.

The Litany for the Faithful Departed

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.

PRAYER FOR THOSE

Father of mercies and God of all consolation,
You pursue us with untiring love
and dispel the shadow of death
with the bright dawn of light.

Comfort Your family in their loss and sorrow.
Be our refuge and our strength, O Lord,
and lift us from the depths of grief
into the peace and light of Your Presence.

Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
by dying has destroyed our death,
and by rising, restored our life.
Enable us therefore to press on toward him,
so that, after our earthly course is run,
He may reunite us with those we love,
when every tear will be wiped away.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Act of Hope and Confidence in God

St. Claude de la Colombiere

My God,
I believe most firmly that You watch over all who hope in You,
and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon You in all things.
Therefore I am resolved for the future…to cast all my cares upon You.
People may deprive me of worldly goods and status.
Sickness may take from me my strength and the means of serving You.
I may even jeopardize our relationship by sin, but my trust shall never leave me.
I will preserve it to the last moment of my life, and the powers of hell shall seek
…… in vain to grab it from me.
Let others seek happiness in their wealth and in their talents.
Let them trust in the purity of their lives,
the severity of their mortifications,
in the number of their good works,
the enthusiasm of their prayers,
as for me, my Rock and my Refuge, my confidence in you fills me with hope.
For You, my Divine Protector, alone have settled me in hope.
“This confidence can never be vain. No one, who has hoped in God, has
…… ever been confounded.”
I am assured, therefore, of my eternal happiness,
…… for I firmly hope in it and all my hope is in You.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”
I know too well that I am weak and changeable. I know the power of
…… temptation against the strongest virtue.
I have seen stars fall and foundations of my world crack;
…… these things do not alarm me.
While I hope in You, I am sheltered from all misfortune,
…… and I am sure that my trust shall endure,
…… for I rely upon You to sustain this unfailing hope.
Finally, I know that my confidence cannot exceed Your generosity, and that I
…… shall never receive less than I have hoped for from You.
Therefore I hope that You will sustain me against my evil inclinations,
…… that You will protect me against the deceitful attacks of the evil one,
…… and that You will cause my weakness to triumph over every hostile force.
I hope that You will never cease to love me and that I shall love You unceasingly.
“In You, O loving God, have I hoped: let me never be confounded.”

St Claude de la Colombiere, pray for us!

Apology and Thanksgiving Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Creator of all and source of all goodness and love,
please look kindly upon us,
as we ask for forgiveness for not giving You thanks.
Please receive our heartfelt apology for the lack of gratitude.
Remind us at all times that You are always worthy of our thanks.

Thank You, Heavenly Father,
for all the graces and blessings
You have bestowed upon us:
our faith and religious heritage;
the Priests who bring us the Sacraments;
our life, food and shelter;
our health, the love we have for one another;
our Police Officers and Firefighters who keep us safe;
our Soldiers and Veterans who fight and fought for our Country;
our family and friends.
Thank You for the people You so generously send us;
…everything You grant us
…and of which we are not even aware.
Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us the grace of having
…less “give me” and more gratitude throughout the coming
…years so that we may be aware that anything from You is good
…for You turn the “bad” into blessings for us.
Please Lord, grant us the grace of not forgetting that we can thank You
…over and over again for the same gift – and if we
…forget, may our Guardian Angel remind us.
Thank You, Lord.
I Love You, Lord.
Amen… …by Luz María

Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with Thee,
blessed are 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.

My prayers continue for Marcella and for your Family, Clare.

Maybe (just maybe) your surviving sister is dragging her feet . . . because she is having difficulties with the death. Don’t know . . . can’t figure out the obituary.

It appears Our Heavenly Father did not have her suffer much at her last moments. May He be holding her in His loving arms.

Praying for you, Clare. Be patient with yourself.

That Thou wouldst be pleased to deliver the souls of our parents,
…relations, friends, and benefactors, from the pains of hell,
we beseech Thee, hear us.
That Thou wouldst be pleased to have mercy on those of whom
…no special remembrance is made on earth,
we beseech Thee, hear us.
That Thou wouldst be pleased to grant them all the pardon and
…remission of their sins,
we beseech Thee, hear us.
That Thou wouldst be pleased to receive them into the company
…of the blessed,
we beseech Thee, hear us.
King of awesome majesty,
we beseech Thee, hear us.
Son of God,
we beseech Thee, hear us.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
grant unto her eternal rest.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
grant unto her eternal rest.
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
grant unto her rest everlasting.

Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy.

From the gate of hell,
deliver her soul, O Lord.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.
O God,
the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful,
grant unto the soul of Thy servant departed the remission of all her sins;
that, by pious supplications,
she may obtain the pardon which she has always desired.
Grant this, O God, Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.

O eternal God,
Who, besides the general precept of charity,
hast commanded a particular respect for parents, kindred, and benefactors;
grant, we beseech Thee, that, as she was the instruments by which Thy providence bestowed on us our birth, education and innumerable other blessings, so our prayers may be the means to obtain for her a speedy release from her excessive sufferings, and admittance to Thine infinite joys. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

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


Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

[prbarrera]

Our Father in Heaven
Holy be Your Name
Your Kingdom come
Your Will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
Do not bring us to the test
But deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace!
The Lord is with you
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.

Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end.
Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto Marcella, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon Marcella.

May Marcella rest in peace.
Amen.

May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
