Please remember my father-in-law in your prayers. He’s been ill for some time and took a turn for the worst. The doctors have estimated he has maybe 24 to 48 hours left.

My BIL is handling matters because he lives very close to him and we’re a good 6 hours away. I’m praying for him, too.

Thanks.
 
Dear Lord,
You know Beachcomber’s FIL so much better than I do. You know his sickness and the burden he carries. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with him now, working in his life. Let your will be done in his life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, Lord, please help him to see his need and confess. Lord, I pray for him because your Word says I should pray for his healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of Your promise. I have faith in You to heal him, but I also trust in the plan You have for his life. Lord, I don’t always understand Your ways, and why we have to suffer, but I trust You. I ask that You look with mercy and grace toward him. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with Your presence. Let him know You are there with him through this difficulty. And may You be glorified in his life and also in mine.
Amen

Lord God Incarnate Jesus Christ,
We entrust this FIL into your care. Mary mother of God pray for us. St. Michael pray for us.
Amen
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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.
 
Lord, please be with FIL and grant him your salvation. May he not be stricken with fear at this difficult time but may he keep his heart fixed on you with total confidence in you and perfect surrender to your merciful will. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.

Prayed for your father-in-law…

Most Holy Mary, Mother all-good and all-loving,
when I remember my sins and think of the moment of death,
I tremble and scarcely know where to turn.
But my hope is in the Blood of Jesus Christ
and thy powerful intercession,
O my loving Mother.

Comforter of the afflicted,
be with me in that hour,
console me in that great affliction.
If even now the remorse over my sins,
the uncertainty of pardon,
the danger of relapse,
and the rigor of Divine Justice so frighten me,
how will it be with me then?

Ah my Lady, obtain for me before death comes
a deep sorrow for my sins, true amendment,
and fidelity to God for the remainder of my days.

And when at last the hour of death arrives,
O Mary my hope, help me in that terrible anguish
in which I will find myself.
Strengthen me against despair over the remembrance of my sins,
which the devil will call up before me.

Obtain for me the grace to call upon thee over and over in that dread hour,
so that I may die with thy name
and the name of thy most holy Son on my lips.
Thou hast granted this grace to so many of thy clients.
I too desire it and hope for it.
Amen
