The Faithfully Departed: Memories & Prayers

[Miserissima]

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon the. May they rest in peace, Amen. May their souls, and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace, Amen.

Please remember Jimmy S. Gottfried in your prayers. He was only 52 years old and passed away Thursday after a long battle with stage 4 lung cancer which entered his bones through his right clavicle. He will be greatly missed.

I would like to say a prayer for everyone here. The loss of a loved one is difficult. It is a path I wish I could avoid. My heart aches not only for my loss but for yours too. I know how you feel. The heartache is real.

But I also know God is good and loves each of us and wants us to come back to him. We all need to keep strong and everyday thank our loving God for this life he has given to us even if our time is short here on this earth. I pray for all of our faithfully departed that they may find eternity and one day we can be with them again.

Peace and faith be with you all

I am dedicating this post in loving memory of my fiance’s grandma. She suffered a stroke and peacefully passed away this afternoon having never regained consciousness.

I want to add my prayers for everyone here as well!

Mom passed on the feast of the assumption of Our Lady last year, and I must say that I was in what can only be described as a fog. I was not depressed all the time, but rather repressed my feelings most of the time, and would let it all out only once in a while,alone.- But that was not all: I was forgetting a lot of important things, and had a hard time studying, and was basically quite numb.I would also get irritated easily at times.- Strange thing is, I was oblivious to much of these dynamics for several months! I was too detached from my feelings to notice.

It took all my freinds at the friary and community [as well as a couple of close Postulant classmates] to get me through it all… I am VERY gratefull for those two, especially; they stuck with me and hung around when I needed it, which was most of the time.

Here, I want to say that grief can affect you in many strange ways, even without your knowlege, as in my case. If you or someone you know is behaving in odd ways like these, or even their health is suddenly affected by the loss of someone close, PLEASE have someone pray with you or them on it, and if it is at ALL serious, talk to your pastor or a professional! These things can really do a number on you.

Well, I’ve already written more than I intended, but I hope this will be helpfull to someone…
Blessings To All !

I would like to ask you all to pray for the soul of the husband of my friend and co-worker. My friend, Pam has always been a very cheerful, faithful and caring person, and I have known her for many years.

Pam’s husband, David was killed in a small plane crash this monday (April 20th). His untimely death will leave a deep wound for both his wife and daughters, and I ask you all to pray for his family as well.

God bless you all
Walter

You got it, brother!
May I ask how old are the daughters?
I hope they are old enough to retain memories of their father.

May our Dear Lord Jesus Bless all of them, and Our Lady be with them to comfort them in their grief!

Thank you, my friend.

I don’t know the actual age of the two daughters, but I believe they are pre-teens. Too young to lose a father. The good news is that the mom is holding up well. She is a strong lady of faith, and that is always a source of tremendous strenghth.

Thanks again

Walter

My prayers go out to all the names mentioned on this thread, and I pray, also, for all who have posted names of dear ones. :grouphug:

Having been on a prayer network for a couple of years now, it is astounding how many needy people are on the list for prayers. From cancers to automobile accidents, I feel for all these hurting people, I ask our Lord for them to be blessed with strength and endurance and trust in the Divine Mercy.

“O blood and water, which gushed from the Heart of Jesus, as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You.” (Prayer told to St. Faustina by Our Lord to beg for His Mercy at the 3:00 hour when He died for us on the cross).

My post today is in memory of my departed son, Matthew Moore. His birthday was yesterday and I started the day with going to Mass that was said in his memory. This is the sixth birthday since he left us at age 18. I think of him almost every day. He was a good example of what we should be, ever caring and giving of our time and attention to God and our loved ones. Thank you Matt for your time here with us and I pray God and our Lady will care for you now.

I pray to our Lord for each one of you for your losses of loved ones. I have been there with a child, my mother, my father, a brother I never knew, a niece and a nephew. I pray that they are all with God and are happy there with him and one another.

I pray every day for God to help me not to become angry and to understand why others act the way they do. I pray to him for a full time job. I know he is always there for me because when I am in need something always comes along and I have faith that he is there with me to guide me in what I need to do.

God Bless each one of you!
