  1. This reminds me of a couple of my nursing home residents a while back. The wife had Alzheimer's and was pretty much mentally gone, but physically she could do anything. The husband was completely mentally there but he was wheelchair bound because of a stroke. They worked together however and together made for a fairly independent nursing home couple. He'd tell her what to do, breaking it down into small steps and being patient with her if she didn't do things quite right. She'd push him to and from the dining room and do what she could to help him. It was a beautiful sight.

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."
