Please pray for my brother Michael. He had a stroke and is now “braindead”. He cannot hear, speak, see… I am worried also for his wife, his son, and my father. They all seem to be suffering. The general decision was made a long time ago that if something like this happened, the “plug will be pulled” rather than him being a vegetable (sorry, not sure if these are the right terms).

Pray that his soul will reach God if he were to go.
Pray for a miracle that my dad will see him alive (we are living thousands of miles away and it will cost thousands to get there).
Pray for a miracle that he will be healed.
Pray that we all go to God in this time of confusion and recognize His readiness to comfort.

Pray for me too. They are not practicing Catholic and I feel afraid to bring them together to prayer. I have been asking everyone for prayers but still our family has not prayed together.

Thank you, and God bless everyone who prays for this cause. I have no idea how this will turn out, but I do not underestimate the power of prayer and I know good will come of this… despite not having the slightest idea how.
 
I’m so sorry about your brother ;( I will pray…

I encourage you to not “pull the plug”. I read a story a while ago of a man who was “braindead” but was actually conscious of anything they just couldn’t detect it. It took a long time, but he came out of it. You never know…

I will keep your family in my prayers. If your brother did not wish to be kept on artificial life support machines, please know you are honoring his wishes, and take comfort in that. Sometimes our souls depart long before our bodies shut down when the body is kept alive by artificial means. There is no need to rush this decision. And if your brother desired to be an organ donor, take comfort knowing he gave others the gift of life.

I will keep your brother and you and your family in my prayers. I hope he will be able to make a full recovery. It could be he just needs more time to get better.

Sincerely,

Maria1212
 
Thank you both for your prayers.

Is that really true?

He did desire to be an organ donor 🙂 And I’m happy about that.

I place him with Mama Mary… hopefully she’ll grant my prayer especially on this feast day of St. Louis de Montfort (I follow his True Devotion 😉 ).
 
God please pray for Sabriner’s Brother
Please bring peace and acceptance to her and her family.
Help them all to get closer to you as they pass through this time
Please grant peace to her brother, letting your will be done.
In your son’s name I pray.
~Amen
 
Lord, we pray for Michael, and ask that you look over him, as well as strengthen his family in their time of need.

St. Wolfgang, pray for him.
 
Mother of Perpetual Help,
To Thee we come imploring help.
Behold us here from far and near,
To ask of Thee our help to be.

Perpetual Help we beg Thee;
Our souls from sin and sorrow free;
Direct our wand’ring feet a - right,
And be Thy self our own true light.

And when this life is o’er for me,
This last request I ask of Thee;
Obtain for me in Heaven this grace,
To see my God there face to face.
Amen
 
Thank you all for your prayers.

He had passed away Saturday morning… please continue to pray for his soul.

Eternal rest grant unto my brother Michael O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
 
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful,
grant to the souls of Thy servants
departed the remission of their sins, that,
through pious supplications,
they may obtain the pardon
which they have always desired.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
world without end.
Amen

I’m so sorry Sabriner :console:
