My father, a scientist, is 81. There has been a bitter struggle in my family for thirty years. My father’s father was Irish Catholic in England. His mother was Anglican.

I fear he may be dying even now, for some reason I have fear he may pass in the night at any time, and he lost his faith to scienteering in hi-tech and I fear for him as he nears final end.

He has sinned greatly against me in his life and is too proud to return to the faith of his youth, understand his mistakes, and repent.

I have repented of the sins into which I was led through his sins against me, a total destruction of my adult life.

I pray that this helps towards HIS redemption and that he is able to be redeemed. My mother is younger than him and they have led each other in error. She claims not to believe at all but I don’t think she really knows her own mind.

At this critical moment in my own life, as I bounce back from divorce and relocation near to them, and near to my son who my ex-husband sent to them, I pray for us all, as I have been very ill for a long time, any of us could go at any time, my son has issues including a severe eye injury and a former severe drug habit, and broken fine bones in his hands from punching doors and walls at the old house.

I have been in constant prayer for years and now push comes to shove as I truly fear for my father tonight, the Lord tells me to, as I fight through the situation for the best possible outcome for all, slept all day, will be up all night, fighting, praying…

Also for my ex-husband, who had a serious head injury, all of us are at risk. And my father turned him, my ex-husband, and my son, who the Lord holds I am sure, away from faith.

My father had a mild stroke 19 years ago just after my son was born which caused cognitive difficulties, which is a huge aspect of the situation, as he caved at that point and gave in to his illness after struggling with that time which was critical for every person in my family, my brother and sister as well. There’s been no one at the helm. He just pretended.

For the sake of his sorrowful passion
Have mercy on us
And on the whole world.
Amen.
 
Please consider praying to Saint Albert the Great for help with your father.

St Albert Is a Doctor of the Church and a very great Scientist of his age taking on the Aristotelian philosophies and the body of known scientific knowledge; reconciling these with the Church as well as laying the foundations for the scientific method that his student St. Thomas Aquinas (and St. Bonaventure) later refined

Also, I highly recommend two things:
  • spending some time in adoration at your church. If your church doesn’t have adoration, please talk with your Pastor about spending some time there in adoration.
  • praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet and offering it up for the repose of your father’s soul.
 
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.

†

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.

lynn helen, I encourage you to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for your Father frequently. Stand between him and God asking for mercy. Our Lord is infinitely mercificul and will do all he can to help your Father.

Eternal Father, I offer you the body, 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. Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
