May Frank Rest in Peace

As you may recall, on June 29 and again on July 6, I asked all visitors to this blog to pray for my brother-in-law who was in critical condition and on a respirator. Frank fought valiantly for nearly two weeks but passed away Friday afternoon, July 8. He will be missed. His funeral Mass and burial will be on Wednesday. He knew of your prayers, was strengthened by them, and was given the grace of seeing a priest. He died with his wife and other family at his side.

Please pray for the repose of Frank’s soul and for my sister.

Today, a friend sent me this. When he did so, he had no way of knowing that my sister was hoping that "Ave Maria" could be sung at her husband’s funeral Mass. 

Amazing how God works! We have to share the gift of this unique version with all who have prayed for Frank and who continue to pray for the repose of his soul and for the physical and spiritual well-being of my sister. May this song lift your spirit as it did ours!

You will never know this side of heaven, how much your prayers have meant. Thank you.

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
