I used to help a Protestant lady in the hospice who was dying of lung cancer, it had gotten across her lungs and there was nothing they could do. She was a widow with one son. Somehow she had heard about Padre Pio and had a devotion to him, so I drove her to a local shrine. Although I drove her back and forward to the Day Hospice she was the only one who ever made me cry. I never got asked to drive her again and things lapsed. Months later I asked about her and learnt she had died. But to my great sadness I learnt she had asked where I was several times. I never realized my being with her had grown to mean so much to her and myself.
Thank you Rosalia I will also hold my blessed cloth from Fr Peter Mary Rookey (“The Man of Miracles” he disliked this title if his biography as he gave all the credit for cures to God) when I pray for Danielle. He was American but began his public healing ministry in Northern Ireland. He continued this ministry into his 90s.
Tremendous is your Mercy, thorough is Your Justice, Lord. May this lady attain to the heights of Your Compassion; if undergoing purgation, shorten her stay and grant her the Beatific Vision.
Thank you all for your wonderful prayers. Hoping to go to Adoration tomorrow and I will bring all these requests to Jesus.
Please pray for my dad. He was diagnosed with liver cancer in February. It was looking to be an easy treatment, but as of last week he was put on hospice. He declined very quickly. I believe a lot of it having to do with the will to live. He was always an “Eyore”, negative about everything going on in life. He was also never practicing a faith of any kind. Although he was baptized as a southern baptist as a child. He is in his ‘60’s and just retired a couple years ago. He was so looking forward to traveling America. Big plans this year. My stepmom says it’s likely he will pass soon. She works in a memory care facility and sees the declines often. So I think she knows it’s coming. Please pray for his comfort and peace. And for my stepmoms pain. She is such a mess right now. I’m still Praying for a miracle. Although I know it’s not likely. I just wish it could happen and my dad and stepmom would come to the church. I put a 3rd class relic prayer card of Bl Anna Marie Taigi under his mattress. Touched to many items included herself, shroud of Jesus, true cross, and many more items. Praying for a miracle. Sigh….. it feels so much harder when I’m also praying for his salvation. We’re all so unsure for ourselves, but I worry so much more for my family that have done nothing for their faith life.
I will pray for your Dad at Mass this morning. Pray Divine Mercy chaplet. There are wonderful promises given for the dying.
Praying to St Anna Maria and offering up Mass this morning. A great go too, very under rated. You have great faith and that is half the battle.
I am catching up with this thread I see there are other requests for prayer so I will include all in my prayers
On my Rosary beads this morning and prayers moving forward. May through the Eternal will of God and the gentle intercession of our Heavenly Mother may your father feel the nudging to turn to Heaven before its too late.
I share your feelings. I know exactly what you mean.i will include your Dad and step mom in my prayets.
I'm praying for Mary and all the other sick in this thread at my adoration hour today. My sister-in-law, Marianne, was recently diagnosed with blood cancer, has pnuemonia, and is not expected to live much longer. She was raised Catholic but became a Jehovah's Witness a few years ago. Please pray that she turns to Jesus and/or that he is very merciful with her.
