I’m a hospice volunteer - a friend has come to the end of his life ( he has cancer ) and is now in the hospital - I come here because I don’t feel my prayers are enough and need you guys to help me - I’ve come to know him well and have become good friends with him - its going to be a hard Christmas for me. Please help me pray for his soul as he reaches the end of his days. I have always got a fantastic result when I have asked on this forum for help and I want to thank everyone who has responded to my requests. I don’t feel so alone in this with all of you helping me pray.

His name is Laurie

Thank you!
 
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
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.
 
Praying that the Lord may grant Laurie strength and all necessary graces during this time. Also praying for comfort for you.

May the good Lord grant all necessary graces at the end of Laurie’s time here in this life. May our Mother, the Blessed Virgin grant peace, comfort and graces to both of you. I was a Hospice Nurse, often became close to my patients, so I know how difficult this can be. Keep praying. If Laurie has no close family, and is Catholic, have a nearby Priest go to him soon, that he may receive the Last Sacraments, (confession, anointing and the Holy Eucharist). Also, if he is Catholic, he is able to receive the Apostolic Indulgence, which removes all sins, even those forgotten to confess. If he is not conscious, he can still receive the anointing, the Viaticum and the Apostolic Indulgence from a Priest.

If he is not Catholic, it would be a great kindness to find a Minister of his faith to visit him while he is still able to speak to him and pray with him.

I will pray for both of you at this difficult time for you. He is going to the Lord and the Eternal Life, so you will feel sad, but perhaps he will not.
 
hu234b: Regarding your friend who is at the end of his life here on earth: I think I typed wrong on my post regarding Apostolic “Indulgence” – I think it is referred to as an “Apostolic Pardon”, which removes all previous sins, confessed or unconfessed (forgotten). It can only be given by a Priest when there is a definite danger of death, or to those on Hospice/Terminal Care. If your friend is Catholic, this could be a great blessing if he is Catholic (or a member of a Church which is in Communion with the Pope), because it removes all past sins, just as when a person is first Baptized. I believe any Priest can administer this great blessing, it is in their book of Prayers and Blessings. Sorry if I got that wrong. Continuing to pray for graces for your friend for a peaceful homegoing to the Lord, and for peace and comfort for you.

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 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 ever shall be world without end
Amen.

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 by this confidence, I fly unto 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 Laurie. Please grant her all the necessary graces.

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.
