Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
My 92-year-old father’s health is worsening by the day. He told me that he
is ready to go and is looking forward to a home in Heaven. Please pray
with me that he will be as comfortable possible during this journey. He is
a devout Baptist.
My dear friends, please don’t give advice – just prayers. Thank you
and may God bless you all.
Prayer for the Dying
God of power and mercy, You have made death itself
the gateway to eternal life. Look with love on our dying
brothers and sisters, and make them one with Your Son
in His suffering and death, that, sealed with the blood
of Christ, they may come before You free from sin. Amen.
Prayer for Persons Suffering With Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
Loving God, Healer and Comforter,
We pray for those who suffer from the anxiety, ambiguity,
and confusion of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms
of dementia. Look with mercy upon their distress, confusion,
or isolation.
Shelter them where dignity and peace abound. Grant
them understanding helpers and the willingness to accept
help. In the face of loss of memory and control, increase
their confidence in Your love and strengthen their care-givers.
As the Good Shepherd, tend to the sick, rest the weary,
pity the afflicted, soothe the suffering, and bless the dying.
We make this supplication through the intercession of Our
Lady of Lourdes. We make this prayer in the name of
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen.
