My Mother and Father

By Charlie Johnston

My father died today. He had a mild injury and suddenly took a very bad turn for the worse last night. He passed at 11:45 am Eastern Time. I am heading south today to be with the family. I have not been able to get hold of my scheduler this morning, but obviously, the things I have scheduled for the next week and a half are going to have to be rescheduled.

I ask you to offer prayers for my dad and for my family.

  6. Charlie I lost my dad in 2015. I know it’s a pain that no one can understand unless they’ve experienced it. I will pray for the repose of his soul. I will also pray for you to be comforted in your sorrow. You have helped me in many ways over the years. May God bless and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. And give you peace.🙏🕇

Charlie Johnston is a former newspaper editor, radio talk show host and political consultant. From Feb. 11, 2011 to Aug. 21, 2012, he walked 3,200 miles across the country, sleeping in the woods, meeting people and praying as he went. He writes on cultural, global and political issues from an orthodox Catholic perspective. He emphasizes that we find God most surely through the ordinary, doing the little things we should with faith and fidelity. His constant refrain is that, to live real joy, we must acknowledge God, take the next right step, and be a sign of hope to those around us. He lives in the Archdiocese of Denver in the United States.
