God holds His little ones close to His Heart. Please know that my prayers are with you in your pain. God bless you all and allow His grace to fill you with peace…
 
My Dear and Beloved Lord Jesus Christ please send the warmth of your eternal Grace to the family and friends of Baby G. Bless them in the knowledge of life eternal and the Glory of your Kingdom in Heaven where their baby thrives. I ask this Lord in your Name and in the names of all the Saints and Angels gathered at your throne. AMEN :grouphug:
 
Eternal rest grant to my Mum OH Lord and let your light shine upon her and may she rest in your peace. Amen

Mum passed away 15th May (10 days ago) in a state far from me.

Please pray for my Mum (Angela)
 
Thanks to all you lovely people who pray for our dear departed ones. I pray for my dear dad, Alfred John Giddings, who passed from this world into the heavenly kingdom of Our Lord Jesus Christ the morning of March 12, 2010. He was 81 years old and had suffered from Alzheimer’s. He still seems to be near us, and I often wonder how he’s doing. I bet he’s thrilled to be REALLY living now! And if possible, he’s on the bow of a ship or the edge of a sailboat, feeling the wind in his face and practically flying.
May God have mercy on his soul, and grant him eternal happiness.😃
 
My prayers for all your dear ones. Please keep my beloved Mom and Dad who have been gone for a number of years now, but I pray every day for them . I never realized how much I loved and owed to them until after they had passed. They instilled into me my dear Catholic faith, which has allowed me to understand, at least a little bit, the pain of my fellow man. I do not post often but please know, dear friends, that my prayers are always with you and yours.
God bless you all–

Kate D.

I think you are right…he has actually been born into REAL life…abundant life. He will be in my prayers. Any chance you have heard of Saint Alphonsus Catholic Church in Baltimore? Thinking of visiting and hoping to be able to go.

This thread is reminding me more and more of the “Jesus Shock” book by Peter Kreft. Basically the point of the book, is that if we truly believe in Jesus, then we should be experiencing the “shock” of the reality of the Truth of Jesus. I feel like I have only recently paid attention to increasing the level of “shock” I experience at the reality of Jesus. Thank you God, in the Name of Jesus Your Son. AMEN.🙂
 
My prayers always for you and your loved ones. Please remember our servicepeople who have died in the service of our country. Without them, our right to pray would not exist. God bless you all.

Amen! When I think of service men and women, I now also think of our police officers, as well as millitary personel. They too, risk their lives every day for our protection, especially the ones in high crime areas of our country.

On that note, I would like to ask prayers for my old friend, officer Clayton Hoover, who died back in the 80s, and also for two other officers who died in that horrific gun battle - showdown that fateful day. He was truly one of the best officers and men I have ever met.

May God rest Clay, and all the officers who have given all for us!
Without all our forces at home, we would have no order at all!
Blessed are the peacemakers…

For my Father, Luis, he passed away suddenly 2 years ago from Congestive heart failure and I am not sure of whether he finally found peace with the Lord. Please pray for him.

Eternal rest grant unto him O, Lord.

And let the perpetual light shine upon him…

May his soul (Luis) and the souls of all the faithfully departed,

through the Mercy of God, rest in peace,
Amen :gopray:

PRAYER FOR THE DEPARTED SOUL

Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers, wherein we humbly pray Thee to show Thy servant (For the soul of LUIS), whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light and bid him to be partaker with the Saints, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
First, if I may, I would like to add my prayers for those departed that they may join God in Heaven.

I do not wish to go into much detail at this point, so I feel that it would be easiest for me to just post the info at once.

My Grandmother, who I lost but a short 3 months ago.
My dearest’s mother, lost 5 years ago.
Even my biological father, lost some 2+ decades ago. (Things were not the best then, and I have my doubts and uncertainties about his spiritual path)

I am grateful for this thread. I think it is a wonderful idea and helps keep the memories of our dear departed even closer to our hearts.

Dear Lord we pray for this Grandmother Mother and Father.
O Lord, grant those who have died the joy of Your Presence, and us who are living the happiness of knowing this.Please grant the souls of the Grandmother Mother and Father eternal life with You

You are, O God, quick to pardon and desire man’s salvation. In Your goodness we ask You to grant our deceased brothers, relatives, and friends everlasting happiness. We particularly pray for the deceased father of Chris and ask You to be merciful and forgive his sins.With the help of Blessed Mary ever Virgin and all Your saints, we ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

It was You, O God, Who commanded us to honor our father and mother. In Your kindness have mercy on the souls of our parents, and forgive them their sins. Grant that we may see them again in the brightness of Your everlasting glory. We ask this through Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
 
Thank you for the prayers. I reread my post and wondered if I may have potentially written a specific part not as clearly as I could have! 😊

It is not my mother to whom I had referred when I mentioned ‘my dearest’s mother’… I truly hope that this slight mistype has not created any confusion. (I can sometimes be rather critical of my own writing/typing if I am unsure about its clarity!)

If it does not seem too picky, I have one more small point to which I wish to refer. I do hope that I do not come across as being nit-picky. (Ummm, I’m really sorry if it does seem I am being so!) To my point, you referred to me in the masculine sense! Sorry, I am definitely of the female persuasion! Not that I am upset, please understand. I merely wish to point that out. It is not the first time, and I get a small chuckle out of it every time!

Many thanks again! And God Bless for putting up with my pickiness!

Yesterday, my family interred my grandfather who passed away on June 1. He was my hero and the only grandfather I had known. After my grandmother passed away on July 4, 2001, he moved in with my family and we took care of him until I left for college. He had been living in a small residential facility for the past two years. A few weeks ago, he announced that he was ready to go home, to be with God and my Nana. He asked her everyday to come get him, and on June 1, the beginning of the month that would have been their 50th wedding anniversary, the Lord granted his request and sent my grandmother to call him home.

Fittingly, my grandfather was interred in the mosoleum with military honors, having been injured in World War II. It was one of the most profoundly wonderful, yet painstakingly difficult ceremonies to attend. I will miss him dearly, but look forward to seeing him again in the Kingdom of Heaven.

God grant him entrance into your kingdom for a life in service to his country and his family. Grant comfort to my family and especially my mother, and I humbly pray that you unite us all with our loved ones when our earthly time comes to pass. Thank you for the service of our nation’s military men and women. Guide them, protect them, and bring them home. Bless our veterans who have preserved this great nation which you have given us. Through the sacrifice of Your Son, bestow a special blessing on those who have given their lives for You, their families, and their country. Rest in peace, Grandpa. Amen.

Amen! What a beautiful tribute you have written. As a grateful American I appreciate the sacrifices your grandfather made for this country. I pray that your grandmother and grandfather are now in the loving embrace of Jesus for eternity. I ask you Jesus comfort this family in their time of grief. Amen!
 
May God, whose mercy is infinitely greater than we could ever dream, guide the souls of our dearly departed into His Eternal Embrace. In Jesus’ Name. AMEN!:crossrc:
