So, it’s been about 2 1/2 years since what I am about to explained happened. My Uncle who married my Aunt (he’s not related by blood) started drinking… a lot. He started drinking back in about 2008 maybe 2009. I’m not exactly sure but it was around that time. Unfortunately, after years of drinking multiple alcoholic beverages every single day he messed up his brain really really badly. My aunt found him collapsed down the stars in their house and she called the ambulance. He was taken to the hospital and he was in stable condition. However, he had now developed something called “Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome.” Also known as “Wet Brain syndrome.” He has impaired memory and can’t do basic things, such as going to the bathroom, on his own. Most of the time, he is confused and has no idea what is going on. He thinks it’s the early 2000’s and he actually thinks Bill Clinton is still president. I’m not even kidding. When ever someone asks him what the date is he’ll usually say it’s 2000 or 2001. He one time even thought it was as early as 1998 at one time. Its almost like his brain has been set back 15 years. He thinks I’m still a teenager and whenever I visit him he either does not recognize me, or he tells me that I look so much older from the “last time” I saw him. It’s sad. My aunt on the other hand has been coping. She became an Evangelical. My mothers side of the family are all Episcopalians. But when my mom married my dad she became Catholic. So my aunt was basically a non practicing Episcopalian but now after the loss of her husband she “found Jesus” and goes to a Baptist Church. Which is good. I’m happy for her. Even though sometimes we get into theological debates on Facebook.

Anyway, I’m just asking you pray for my Aunt and my Uncle. I am also wondering if perhaps my Uncle has a chance at salvation? He did put himself in this situation, but he can’t get out now. He doesn’t even know what is happening to him. He can’t possibly repent and come to God on his own.
 
Prayer of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton:

O Father, the first rule of our dear Savior’s life
was to do Your Will.
Let His Will of the present moment
be the first rule of our daily life and work,
with no other desire
but for its most full and complete accomplishment.
Help us to follow it faithfully,
so that doing what You wish
we will be pleasing to You.

Amen.

As to the salvation of your Uncle: Until one’s life has ended there is always hope.
REMEMBER: “Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, His mercy endures forever.”, PS 118:1
 
I will pray for strength for your aunt for this situation and for your uncle’s well being.

Mary.
 
Praying. Have a Mass said for your “Special Intention”.
 
Keep praying for him. If you can, place a Green Scapular in his house. Ask a priest to visit him.

Blessed art Thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus
Holy 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 thephilosopher6’s Uncle. 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 thephilosopher6’s Uncle’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
