St Patrick her patron Saint, humble and gentle saint of God, please pray for Pat in this final period of her life.
Our good God please flood Your child Patricia with all the graces Your eve desired for her.
Please let Your grace flow powerfully yet gently through her to anyone who comes near.
Please grant all the loving prayers of her heart.
On her behalf I pray
Purification in death
Our God, in my dying hour,
shine through me as the burning sun
in witness to Your gentle, loving mercy—
purifying finally the being that is soon to see Your face.
Let all heaven rejoice and glorify You.
For this, Your child, who might have been lost
is Yours for all eternity.
My only thanks is—
all I have I give You,
now, and forever.
