I received a call today that my father was taken to the hospital and at one point had no pulse. I spoke to a doctor and learned that he has severe pneumonia in both lungs. His prognosis is uncertain.
He burned all bridges with his family a number of years ago. I forgave him, and am the only person who still speaks to him, although I haven’t seen him in ten years. I am not able to go to him, as I am on the other side of the country and my wife is due to give birth any day now.
He was baptized and confirmed in the Church, but has not led a Christian life. I fear for his soul if he does not survive, and will call a number of parishes near the hospital to see if a priest can visit him.
Right now I am sure he is frightened and lonely. Please pray for his health, his comfort and for his conversion.
