Prayers for a friend who died

anthony022071 · Aug 20, 2015

Her name is Yolanda Gonzalez. I met her in 1985 when I was 14 and fell in love with her. We were a couple briefly and then again in 1996. She had been raped before I met her and had at least one abortion. When she was in her twenties she was manic depressive and had anxiety attacks. She took sedatives drank alcohol too much, which made her listless and affected her memory. A few years ago I persuaded her to go to confession at the church she used to go to. She did and said that she liked the experience and felt better, but shortly after that she went back to getting drunk and committing mortal sins. She was annoyed with me for pushing religion on her. She invited me to visit her but when I met her she was and later she crassly tried to manipulate me into marrying her and then told me to leave. She called me up and asked me when I was going to visit her and I told her that I did and that she had kicked me out. I was angry and frustrated at her but continued to pray the rosary and divine mercy chaplet for her to come to reason and to be saved. She tried to contact me through the internet but I didn’t respond. I found out from her social media page that she had liver cancer that had spread to her lungs and that her doctors told her that she had only a few months to live. I wasn’t sure if this was true. I was still reluctant to communicate with her because she was so far gone from reason in her views. She supported same sex marriage and got engaged to a woman. I didn’t know how to talk to her. She died on June 25 at the age of 44. I found out about 3 days later when I checked her social media page.

I regret not communicating with her and trying again to reason with her. And I regret not having masses said for her while she was still alive. I had a mass said for her after she died and will have more said for her. I hope beyond hope that the prayers that I said for her salvation while she lived were answered. I cannot accept the possibility that she is not saved. I demand from God in filial piety that he saves her. I’m crying as I write this.

Don’t let anyone you have loved fall away forever. Do what you must to save them.

Anthony, you have the right to keep her at arm’s
length, she spells trouble and getting involved w/
her will only bring grief, the most you could do
was PRAY for her, just like St. Monica did for
her son. My condolences on her passing.

O Lord, may this friend of Anthony reach
perfect contrition for her sins before her
last breath and may she NOT refuse your
offer of eternal life in Jesus Christ, who died
and rose again on her behalf.

Eternal rest grant unto her,
may perpetual light shine upon her
and may her soul rest in peace.
Amen.

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.

St. Thérèse of Liseux Prayer From “Story of A Soul”

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Amen. †

Lord, thank you that you are with me right now.
Your love surpasses all fear.
I give you the anxiety I feel.
I surrender all my worries to you.
Clear my mind;
Calm my heart;
Still my Spirit;
Relax my being, that, I may
always glorify you in everything
I write, speak and do.

Amen. †

Jesus, Help Me

In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust, saying,
Jesus, help me!

In all my doubts, perplexities, and temptations,
Jesus, help me!

In hours of loneliness, weariness and trials,
Jesus, help me!

In the failure of my plans and hopes; in disappointments, troubles and sorrows,
Jesus, help me!

When my heart is cast down by failure, at seeing no good come from my efforts,
Jesus, help me!

When others fail me, and Thy grace alone can assist me,
Jesus, help me!

When I throw myself on Thy tender love as Father and Savior,
Jesus, help me!

When I feel impatient, and my cross irritates me,
Jesus, help me!

When sickness and loneliness overcome me,
Jesus, help me!

Always, in weakness, falls and shortcomings of every kind,
Jesus, help me and never forsake me.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †

Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.
Sweet Heart of my Jesus, grant that I may always love You more.
Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, set our hearts on fire with love of You.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like Your Heart.

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus.

Amen. †
