I was just remembering how Wayne’s brother Wes passed away from the exact same cancer in September of 2012. Today I’ll remember Wes’s soul in my prayers. (Both brothers were VERY protestant and came from protestant families. There is virtually no one that would consider praying for them other than this community. THANKS!)
Absolve, we beseech Thee, O Lord,
the souls of Thy servants Wesley and Wayne,
from every bond of sin,
that being raised in the glory of the resurrection,
they may be refreshed among the Saints and Elect.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
May God bless Wes and Wayne and you Reg for so generously praying for your dear cousins souls.
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
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
