Please pray for my cousin Michael Phillips, who passed today, in Binghamton NY.

Mike was a brother in the Church, his dad is a deacon… He was a well loved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.

Mike worked as a counselor, at an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center. He lived in a one bedroom apartment. He never spent money on himself. He had no cell phone, answering machine or car. He kept his possessions to the very minimum. Mike only eat what was necessary to maintain life. He donate nearly all of his income to Catholic Relief and he did all this during his entire adult life.

He did this because of how bad he felt for all those suffering throughout the world. Mike was a daily communicant and he went to confession weekly. He was a shy and very humble soul, never complaining.

In 30 years, I never heard him utter a single word against anyone and I never heard another person say a single negative thing about him.

Mike spent much of his time in prayer. He enjoyed writing his Gospel reflections, often times mailing his thoughts and reflections to love ones, they were beautiful. I never had a conversation with him, where he did not mention his love for God. He was on fire for Christ and madly in love with Him and his fondness for His mother, Saint Mary was very apparent.

Mike loved God with all of his heart, soul, mind and strength and he was like this his entire life. When he was found this morning, he was in a position of prayer. I’ve never known a person like Mike. He is the closest I have ever been to a real saint. He will truly be missed. I’m certain he is with Jesus now, the one he loved with all of his heart.

Please pray for his soul and pray that God will comfort all those who loved him so very much.

I love you Mike and will miss you very much!
 
Loving God please comfort his family and all who will miss him and his ministry.
Please grace others to carry on his work.
We praise You for his truly Christian life, and delight in the welcome You offer him.
Please adorn his soul to be with You for all eternity, as he continues to intercede for those he leaves behind.
 
Jesus,our Lords peace be whit You.
He is not gone,he live on is everyones mind and heart and is not further away then our thougts. May he rest in peace,
“Lord,
I don’t always understand,
I don’t always know,
and I don’t mind,
the only thing I know for sure is that Your love is always whit us,
Lord,You have called Michael Phillips home,
his work is done,
and we thank You for giving us such a kind soul,
he has peace now.”
Amen
 
May he rest in peace and God comfort his loved ones. What a saintly life he led. God bless him.
 
Eternal rest grant unto Michael P, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
Amen.
 
May the soul of Michael, and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace. 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 our death.
Amen.
