I have a cousin that has had terminal brain cancer. He’s only 20years old and it would seem close to the end of this life. Most of the family is praying only for healing, but my concern is more for the soul. His parents left the Church before he was born. I’v been working on that side of the family to come back. They are expressing interest now, but their previous understanding/attitude of scripture is to interpret to what seems convenient and what feels good. Now, for me teaching and apologetics is not a problem (seminary trained). I find prayers for conversion is needed more than education in this case. Thank you all. Praise be Jesus Christ…

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled unto thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

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
 
Hoping a Priest will give him the Anointing of the Sick. Perhaps he will want to confess to the Priest and receive communion. Joining you in praying for his soul. God bless.
 
Loving Jesus, I trust in your mercy, and I pray that you may grant this person the necessary healing if it is Your will
Please, Jesus, bring this family back to You

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.

That is the goal. Yet, the problem there is that even though his parents received the sacraments in their youth, they never bothered to bring him into the Church. Thankfully, his grandmother taut him some about the Church. So I may need to see what the Archbishop (who happens to be a friend of mine) has to say about it. Thank you for your prayers.

Good idea to ask. I believe a dying person can request and receive the sacraments.

Mother Mary, please fly to this soul and ask our Lord to pour out the graces he needs for conversion. 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 valley 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! Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

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 the whole world. Amen.
 
Remembering your cousin and his family in my daily prayers. God bless.
 
I just said a prayer for your cousin and his parents. God bless you.

How very sad, Pio! If you would like to PM me with his first name, I will keep the salvation of his soul and the grace of a holy and happy death for him in my prayers.

Please make sure that if a priest comes to give him the Last Rites that he includes the Apostolic Pardon. I understand some priests, for whatever reason, leave it out.

PRAYER FOR THE SICK*
O God, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realize that they are chosen to be saints, and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
