My sister informed me yesterday that the doctor said that my mom is in the last stage of Parkinson’s disease, and doesn’t have much longer to live. It could be days, it could be months. Please pray to the Holy Mother for her. She is not, and never has been, Catholic, but she is a Christian.

My relationship with her is complicated, but I forgave her a long time ago, and things were getting a little better before the Parkinson’s disease set in heavily. Last year she didn’t even know who I was when I called her on her birthday.

Please pray that her suffering isn’t much, that she passes smoothly and, above all, that she will be accepted into heaven. She made some terrible mistakes, but most of them were reactions to a very rough life. She does have a great capacity for love, and always encouraged us to go to church. Your prayers for her are greatly appreciated.

Please also pray for my siblings and my nephews. I don’t know yet exactly what I am feeling; very mixed emotions for sure.

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 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 death.

Amen. †

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. † :signofcross: :blessyou:

St. Joseph, patron of happy deaths, please procure the favor of a happy death for newcalling’s mother. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
 
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

I just buried my dear mother on Tuesday morning. I arrived at her bedside on last Thursday, and she passed on Sunday afternoon. She was not a Catholic either, but I know her soul went to heaven to be with the Lord, and on the last day she will be raised up and given a glorified body to live forever and ever.

Before she passes, if you have a chance, pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy over her. I was able to do that with mom.

If it is possible (sometimes families have a different thought), have a priest visit her, and anoint her in the Sacrament of Healing.

My mother seemed to be having a very difficult time letting go, and the last days/hours were traumatic for all of us. But, on Sunday at about noon, we gathered the family at her bedside, a priest was brought in to anoint her, and say prayers over her. The priest absolved her of all her sins, told her it was okay to follow Jesus into heaven, and that as much as we all loved her, he loved her and wanted her to come with him.

About 2 and a half hours later, she died quietly, and went to be in the arms of God.

Of course I will pray for the repose of your mother’s soul, and for your comfort. God is the father of all mercy, and you should find peace in that, with the hope of your dear Mother going to be with Him, and that He will eventually let you find peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.

Peace and all good!

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 Newcalling’s Grandmother. 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 Newcalling’s Grandmother’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
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

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 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.

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.

Thank you for your continued prayers for her. There is still no change in her condition. She is still awaiting the release from this life, and I hope that she will be accepted into the Glory of Heaven with God.
 
**Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. **
 
Lord Have mercy on us
Lord, hear us

Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit
Amen.

Your Will be done O Lord, Your Will be done. God gives God takes God’s name be ever blessed.
