Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the Mercy of God,
rest in peace
Amen.
 
Rest in the peace of God’s loving arms Father Jude.

Blessed Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful-
Mother and love the weary, abused, neglected,
broken or forgotten among us-
Give your aid to all needing help or healing-
Assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering-
Be with those needing peace-
Console the lonely or brokenhearted-
Comfort the lost, hopeless or fearful-
Guard the unborn-
Pray for those who are dying or who have died-
Touch those who do not yet see truth or have hardened hearts-
Help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go-
Show us the way to do the right thing-
Protect those who are in danger, and
Guide us from every evil.
May all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen
 
Maybe it’s just me but I find posting a video of a priest slumping to his death in poor taste. That’s not news, it’s voyeurism.
 
May God grant him blessed repose and eternal memory.

But I am not under any circumstances watching that video. A story about this tragedy would have been sufficient. Video is in extremely poor taste. This priest has people who loved him. I would think they would rather not have his death video broadcast worldwide (and I don’t care if other sites posted it. This is a Catholic site. We should not be as coarse and callous as the secular media).
 
My first reaction is “That poor priest” but then I thought maybe it is a great blessing from the Lord to be taken to Heaven during Mass, and before he got into the middle of the consecration which can’t be interrupted.

Also reminded me of Fr. Hurtubise who passed in almost the exact same way


I will be praying for the deceased priest. I found this article saying the media had actually mixed him up with another priest. The deceased priest is a Fr. Bayo from the Ivory Coast.
