A kindly priest I knew from going to confession and Mass at his parish a few times has passed away from a serious illness. As usual it happened during a week I was out of town and I missed the obituary and the funeral as his parish is about 15 miles away from my regular parish. I only found out because against all odds, someone from his parish happens to be in my Purgatorial Society Facebook group and posted about his passing there last month. Where I proceeded to miss the post until this morning.

Fr K. was a very nice older man and also the first and only married priest in his diocese, as he was a married Lutheran minister when he converted. Before he got sick he was a cathedral rector and in addition to that, pastor of two parishes simultaneously even though he was well past retirement age (his diocese seems to have a serious priest shortage). He was survived by his wife of 50 years and two adult children.

I have been praying for his recovery from his illness for the past year, he was such a nice man even though I only got to talk to him about twice in the confessional and attend a few of his Masses.

Prayers for his soul would be appreciated.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in 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 art thou amongst 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Prayer for the repose of his soul.

Eternal rest grant unto him,
O Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon him. May his soul and
the souls of all the faithful departed, through
the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
 
Dear Jesus please welcome the soul of Your faithful servant and allow his life’s good works and his prayers to continue to draw souls to You.
 
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.

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.

Thank you for all the prayers.

I have since found out via the newspapers that apparently Fr. K was a Yale-educated theologian, wrote for First Things, and was a close friend and assistant of Richard Neuhaus. I had absolutely no idea, I just thought he was this kindly old priest who was tasked with managing some nice old churches in decaying neighborhoods.

George Weigel wrote him a huge obit. If I’d known all that I probably would have been afraid to go to confession to him.
 
Eternal rest grant unto Fr. K, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
