On this page, readers are invited to send in their prayer requests. I will leave requests up for nine days. All readers are invited to pray for those who ask for it and any who want to offer a word of comfort are invited to do so, as well.

  1. Please pray for my son, Chris, who is drinking himself to death. He lives in another state and his girlfriend has kept me informed. He is not doing well at all.

    6. Audie,

      I will be keeping your son in my prayers. I can feel for your pain and anguish regarding your son’s destructive behavior. I had a son started to drink in drinking in grade school and was alcoholic for more than 23 years. By the grace of God, he has overcome this disease and has been trying to start a new life.

      Keep praying and do not give up hope. All here and more are praying for your son and of course for you as well.

      1. God bless you, Ron, for being so willing to help. I edited out the number because we’re just not set up to connect people with any kind of services. We would need to do some vetting, not as a judgement on anyone, but as a responsible way of handling this. If we did connect people in this way, it could create problems if the connections turned out to be something that became a problem some how for either party. Let’s add to our prayers that Chris reaches out to those available in his area.

      2. Thank you for your offer, Ron. That is truly kind of you. At this time, would you please continue to pray for him? He’s going in the right direction, so I believe God is answering our prayers. God bless you for reaching out as you did. Just melts my heart you would do that. Thank you.

    8. Dear AudieMarie, I will pray for your son Chris and all the sons and daughters of this land who have been stricken by the real pandemic of our times which is addiction. During my days patrolling the streets of Boston the most difficult part was seeing all the young people on our streets.

      1. Thank you msvislander. Your prayers are very much appreciated. Our parish just had a funeral for a young man who died of an overdose. It’s terribly sad. God bless you for having the compassion you do for those who suffer from addiction. Brings water to my eyes.

      2. Sorry, I got your name wrong in my first reply, mvislander. Should’ve had my glasses on. As for my son, I think he might be doing better. He had been a meth addict, but went to “rehab” and turned to alcohol. I’m praying he will now turn to God. Thank you again for your prayers and kindness.

  2. Dear Family of Prayer,
    Please pray this week for the move my husband and I are undertaking. Please pray for good weather, good roads, safe travels and for the protection of us as we carry boxes, etc. We have to go over two mountain passes and the forecast says we might have some snow. The traveling day is this coming Saturday the 27th.
    I haven’t had much time to sit down and read the blog but pray for everyone here daily.
    Much love.

    Praying for you, your son and anyone else in your family that is affected. Alcoholism is not an disease that only affects an individual, but all those that love him. Chris, being your son I am sure makes it especially hard..

    God bless and May our Mother Mary intercede for your son’s recovery.

  5. To the Prayer Warriors:
    I am asking for your spiritual support and prayers for 3 family members. One for a joyful recovery and two with possible terminal outcomes.
    The first extended family member that was diagnosed with terminal cancer was my sister’s daughter-in-law. She had many malignant tumors in her uterus. Within one year of heavy treatment, she is now cancer free. She will have to continue to take a newly developed drug for three to five years called LYNPARZA. It cost $7,000 per month. Thanks be to God she was accepted by someone, or a program, that would pick up the tab of a 5 year expense of around $420,000. So far 75% of women that have taken this drug have gone 3 years cancer free. Of the 25% that took other post cancer treatments, all participants had their cancer has return within 14 months.
    A side note: The extended ONeill family has had many miracles happen to us or our kids, grandkids and great-grandkids that we know were saved, cured, spiritually or physically through the mercy and love of Our Blessed Mother. We have no reason to not chalk up another wonderful example of the power of prayer. Having the CORAC team as part of the large family, I am convinced helped in many ways. Furthermore, as proof that our Mother Mary was involved, my sister’s name is Mary and Mary is also the name of her daughter-in-law. For people of faith, we need no proof. It is so great to have JOYFUL news while we have been living in the middle of evil and hate coming from every corner.
    However, on the in-need prayers side of life, my 21-year-old step-granddaughter, who had gone through breast cancer two years prior, and pronounced cancer free, has now been found to have terminal cancer which has spread to 6 different areas of her body, including her bones and lymph nodes. She is still going through chemo and other treatments. So far, there is no spread, but there is no reduction in the areas of cancer or the size of the tumors. Please add her and her and families to your prayers.
    Finally, my older brother by two years has had extensive heart problems as recognized by his 4 heart attacks over the last decade. While having a pacemaker and heart defibrillator imbedded in his chest, the doctor still told him that the next heart attack would be fatal. He went into the ER two days ago and doctors are trying to find out the cause. Your prayers for his recovery, regardless of the cause, are again greatly appreciated.
    I also want to say that while I may not personally respond to most of the extensive number of people in need as of prayer, I pray with my family for all CORAC people in need as well as our cause every day during our family rosary. I do not think any of us have many crosses and burdens to bear. Having CORAC and the prayer warriors especially, is a great gift for individuals reaching out to God for help and comfort.
    Thank you so much from my self and extended families request for your prayers and thoughts.
    John

  6. please pray for good outcome for friend who has no family, I basically am it. She went to emergency Monday and will probably need long term rehab and is thought she will not be coming home. She has no insurance at this point and hospital is trying to work something out. She wants to come home to her cats and is not very cooperative and willing to let God be in charge. She prays constantly and always says her memorare is her go to and Mary is always there and always answers her prayers but can’t seem to accept things as they come and gets extremely upset if things don’t go the way she wants them to. Please pray for her and me and all those trying to help,

  7. My twin’s husband of 40 years passed away peacefully and naturally last week, with my twin beside him. She had willingly been his 24/7 caregiver for two years; finally, his systems simply started shutting down, even with excellent care by hospital staff. My twin has noticed and is grateful for the many ways that God provided comfort, direction, and little miracles of grace.

    I’m grateful to have been with her all the time since his passing. ❤

    Anyway, now is the time to adjust to new ways of life. My twin is very open to God's leading. He knows her needs. She prays for direction and discernment.

    Many thanks for your prayers, friends ~

  9. I write to ask for prayers for Fr. Mathias Thelen of Encounter Ministries, who as a newly ordained priest was the associate pastor of our parish. Our diocese sent out an appeal for prayer today because he is suffering from serious complications from a routine surgery. He has been in the hospital for 10 days and is bleeding internally, and the doctors can’t figure out what’s causing the bleeding. He is in great pain. Please pray for his quick healing, for a relief from the pain, and for wisdom for his doctors. Thank you.

He had a bicycle accident on Easter Sunday that will require surgery and then fell and broke four ribs on his birthday three days later. He also had the shot the week before. Not going well for him right now, as he is also going through a divorce. Thank you!

    1. Praying for you, Gina, that the Lord leads you to a wonderful job and consoles you even as He strengthens you in the current trials. Please, do look up the Catholics who are part of CORAC in Chicagoland. They are many. When you join CORAC – website: corac.co – you can begin to make connections on the forum there.

      An Apostolate, The Anointed Life, is based in Chicago and hope is fostered in this community to which I belong. (I’m not in Chicago, but we meet via Zoom.) You can look for Michael and Kelly Sullivan, who belong to St. John Cantius Parish, and they would pray over you if you ask them. They are a faith-filled couple, remaining in the city to bring Christ’s Light there.

        I had the privilege of meeting Michael and his son rather quickly on my way out of the Chicagoland stop on Charlie’s speaking engagements. I am encouraged by what our CORAC local region is and will be doing. ❤

        1. Oh yes, Jen, to the development of what is rising in your area. There are people on board who had previously known very little or nothing about CORAC or that Charlie was speaking in Chicagoland but viewed the video and and are charging ahead with promoting the cause and inviting folks to become members.

          Jen, it’s usually the first Tuesday of each month that we have open healing sessions and I’ll do my best to remind you, check in with you and get you on the schedule when it comes out for next month.

  14. Dear prayer warriors. Please pray for my husband, Francis. He decided to get the Pfizer vaccine a week ago and since then his muscle disease has gotten worse. I am asking for prayer because they are admitting him to the hospital to evaluate how much more muscle wasting has happened and want to put him on IV’s for necrosis. He has mental health issues that have exacerbated along with all of this and he is nervous about being admitted to what he calls a “petri dish.” Thank you in advance. May God bless your day. ~juls

      1. Thank you for the prayers Ann. He is hanging in there and going to see his doc next week for more evaluation. He is home and hanging in there. Just praying he won’t get the second jab. That’s the one thing I can’t convince him of. The ER doc told him it’s just an advancement of his muscle disease but it started a couple of hours after he got the vax and progressively got worse. My biggest prayer now is that he gets the message from someone else to not to get the second vax since he seems to be closed off to hearing about the warnings from our kids and I.

    5. Juls,
      Francis and you are in my prayers and thoughts. It is difficult read all that is going on with Francis. Your love and concern is such a gift from God to Francis. When we love someone who is suffering, we suffer with them, sometimes even more. Take hold of Our Blessed Mother who felt her son’s suffering more than any human. She is at your side now and by the side of Francis as well, praying, comforting her children in need.

      May God Bless you all.

      1. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers jpo. In meditation this morning I also read this message of Jesus, “Mary accepted My sorrows because she loved the will of God. I accepted her sorrows because this was the will of My Father, and I love His will. So, too, you must grasp, and with eager hands, the mortifications that come to you through your dear ones.” (My Other Self by Clarence J. Enzler). My husband has a beautiful relationship with Jesus and I know He will carry him.

This morning in meditation God put on my heart, Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have made for you,” says the Lord, “plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope for the future.” I think I was losing hope and I need to do the surrender novena.

          My rehabilitation was not helping at one point. An MRI showed possible necrosis too in my shattered ankle/heel. When I relapsed, a second surgery and the removal a loose screw in my foot (not my head) allowed for slow yet steady healing, round 2. At the end of my P.T. – my gauge of a victorious end of therapy was if I could land a cartwheel. I did – it wasn’t pretty, but I did it all the same. ❤

    3. Dad confronted the toxic stuff, prayer power seems to have allowed peace to again envelope us all. +TY God+ The long term solution is professional help with resolving deep-seated hurts/tendencies in a loving way. Someone here mention Catholic Psych institute, and I am enamored of them. Another family member had very good experience with one of their counselors for deep grief. We are hopeful this may be a good avenue. However, Free Will is involved and the individual in need of help must be wooed with all patience and love. Also, it is difficult to get in there. Also, it is spendy. I am humbly asking for continued prayers for this situation, if not this avenue, then another for continued healing and peace for my baby. God’s will be done. TY!

  24. Please pray for my daughter and son in law. They recently found out that I pray in front of PP and recently they donated to an aggressive pro-abortion organization. That organization called my house, her former address, to thank her for her recent donation. They may have been members before, but the only two phone calls in the past had been about the elections. I am heartsick. I think that first I will have Masses said for them in the amount that they donated. I will then offer my standing in the heat and humidity in prayer for their conversion and repentance. The gauntlet is down. Please also pray for me to do the right thing. I look at it as a spiritual attack because I must be doing something to antagonize the one who is a miniscule dust mote compared to my Lord. Thank you for your prayers. 🙂

    We are needing prayers. She is not the same person. She states she gets nothing out of the catholic mass, and never has. She hates the rosary. We do not know how to talk to her as she shuts us out.

  27. My new Pastor, Father Mike, is a good and faithful servant and is asking for prayers for his parish. Over five years now, he has been in a game of spiritual skirmishing with the former bishop and now his predecessor over church capital funds, restoration projects, church merging and closings. To add insult to injury there are new levels of obstruction in hierarchy to block the direct line of open communication to the bishop and provide for pastor interference that delays an opportunity to settle the matter and save his beloved home/flock. He is asking for prayers for God’s grace in the midst of it all. We have another good one being suppressed.
    He wholeheartedly desires to be obedient in seeking and speaking to the new bishop of just over one year (who he has yet to meet personally). He strongly rejects and discourages others who have stepped up and offered to be a third party in the meeting with the bishop, as well as those who said that they’d create posters and banners, design t-shirts (although he liked the idea of CLM – Catholic Lives Matter and/or SJLM – Saint Jude Lives Matter), others who said that they could start a writing/corresponding campaign, or send a message using a giant inflatable rat advertisement balloon as someone suggested with the bishop. He will strive to handle this head on with all of his heart, might, and spirit discretely. He asked that we pray for the outcome that his parish church/school/convent remain open and that he may expand the old church to a larger one for the care of future generations or to accept the results if that will not come to pass and they will continue to use the old church building. He did say that if we hear that his parish has been closed we can stop at a florist and get a bouquet of flowers to lay at his grave because it will be over his dead body that he will allow that to happen.
    Dear Lord, we know these things must come. Please let us pray for our Universal Church, God’s Servants, Our Mystical Body and add a special mention for Father Mike. Thank you, sincerely. Wishing all a blessed Father’s Day. ❤

  29. My 12 year old niece, Clara, refuses to pray or say the rosary because she now has become a nonbeliever. She is a believer in Manga now, which is an addictive form of japanese animation. Do not know how a once very bright child has become so dark in her outlook.

    Please for her that she see the light of God.

  32. I want to thank all who prayed for little Hannah. On Saturday, July 3 her grandmother texted me that the ICU team reduced her sedation after a bronchoscopy, that she was breathing better but not completely on her own. Many meds had been changed but she was still on the vent. On Tuesday July 6 she texted, “Tubes out! Numbers good! Getting better!”. This morning July 7, the grandmother texted a picture of Hannah wide awake with a big smile on her face. Yea! and Thank you, Jesus and Mary! and thank you all once again.

  35. I was under the impression that Bro. G already became a deacon, but my Ma informed me that he gets tonsured today as a subdeacon (apparently an Eastern Orthodox thing), and then deacon in November. Today is the Feast of Ignatius of Loyola. I have no doubt he’ll be a stalwart defender of the Fatih as he continues his journey to the Priesthood. Please remember him in your prayers.

  36. I have another adult kid who is giving us a run for our money. I am exhausted. These complex situations are way beyond the scope of my ability and understanding. On the bright side the other adult kid you all prayed for seems to have found a measure of peace and settled-ness, all thanks to The Lord. That situation also felt impossible, but here we are, somehow, on the other side of it still not dead yet, actually thriving (TYG).

        Yesterday after I prayed about this, l unintentionally lifted my foot off the brake on an elec car. Elec cars go. I was so stressed it didn't occur to me I shouldn't use my phone in line waiting in McDonald's drive through. My car jolted forward and slammed into the truck ahead of me (no damage whatsoever, TYG).

        It was hot my windows all open, youngest 2 in car with me. The young man and his wife got out. I knew I was at fault and said I'm sorry! Prepared to own it. He started swearing at me, calling me names. Then they both got back in their truck as they said no damage.

        I lost my appetite, and proceeded to leave. Which started another humiliating diatrabe. I pulled into a parking spot, started balling, my 2 kids hugging me, sad until I could safely drive home.

        I prayed for them, me, All. Marantha!

        1. The irony of this all is I had just signed up for John Paul and Annie’s (wonderful) healing retreat. After reading some of the presentations in the car (waiting for 2youngest in ballet, heat wave her, etc). The thought came to me I should send this to adult kid I’m so concerned about. Then I thought naaah, they’ll just roll eyes and delete. The thought again: Try.

          So I’m driving home thinking I need to do this before I lose my nerve. My youngest 2 are hungry, of course, and even though I’m planning on burrito s for dinner I thought a fruit smoothie and chix nuggets could be fun.

          I had just finished reading the presentation about healing shame, prodigal son, Kezahah (sp?) right before my public shaming. Hah.

          I don’t know what to think— it’s all so overwhelming.

          1. You made me laugh, Mick, TY!

            I am Baby, I’m not ashamed to admit. Truly a baby. I was caterwauling like infant in the parking lot, It was all just too much, everything. I bleeted: “What’s wrong with this world, why are people so mean?” and “Jesus, Jesus, I need You, where are You?” and loud generalized blubbering. I gave into my inner Baby.

            I must say it felt cathartic, ah. I’m tired of trying to suppress who I am. I never liked that super passionate part of me, I’m ashamed of it. Very ashamed. I grew up being taught stoic was the only way, and “What’s wrong with you?!” As a small child I thought: “There must be something wrong with me, Wow.”

            In the parking lot my actions spoke: “tough binkie said the kitty, but the milk tastes fine” LOL. Iow, I didn’t try to hide myself, the part that I’m ashamed of. Maybe it’s old age. I’m definitely more Ornery all around since LiamXOXO’s seemingly sudden tragedy rocked our world.

            Maybe it’s a new start. I dunno. +Holy Spirit help, give me you guidance, care, wisdom, all your gifts. Please help us All, I mean to leave no one out. TY Holy Spirit, Lord, TY+

          2. So Beckita, Mick, I just finished Sonja’s series and is she ever a Hoot! She had me laughing and nodding in agreement and a vow to open myself further to correction. I almost peed my pants when she was describing how God makes us wait, after the last moment’s moment to stretch us.

            I also love in episode 4 how she describes asking God for a miracle (Yes! Of course! But know He generally doesn’t allow those shortcuts.) Also, most importantly, never test Him by demanding xyz be done my way. Leave room open, He will fill it in the most delightful, unique way, often passed our 12th hour.

            I see now the McD’s episode was a “pop quiz” for me. I’m pretty certain it was the shame thing. God wants me to ditch that, LOL. (duh-me)

            Honestly I’ve been saying a lot to God “I don’t understand! Help me understand! I’m thinking all gamut of crazy thoughts and all gamuts of sane thoughts and truly the truth could be any one of them or none of them. I’m so confused God”

            This has been happening to me with increasing regularity, in many areas of my life. It’s happened so much and I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes, that when it happens I’m learning I need to beg God for wisdom, or I will go down yet another rabbit hole yet another time. Rabbit holes aren’t very nice for humans. I don’t particularly care for them LOL.

            Peace to all my fellow squirrels. Sending hugs out back to All. TY ALL for your powerful prayers. God Bless us, Everyone!

            1. Yup. Pop quiz it was. And they keep coming up until God gets our attention and we go to Him. Here’s where the S.T.O.P. exercise is so helpful. (The idea to STOP the emotional vomit is based on the Scripture: “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.” (Proverbs 26:11) )

              S. = sin not
              T. = in all candor, tell God all about what you’re experiencing
              O.= offer the right sacrifice, that is, ask HIM what that would be for this particular moment
              P.= Put your trust in God.

                    1. Oh yes. Worked that one six years ago when Sonja first came on the Catholic blog-o-shpere scene. Something to think about: rather than trying to do so much all at once, why not stick with this “Freedom from Anxiety Series,” take a deep but gentle dive into the exercises and allow yourself to partner with God and allow Him to lead and heal you while you do your part of the work? (I do see elements of the previous series in this current one on freedom from anxiety.) The process is important… without the process, the end result will lack depth.

                      Think of John 15: 1-2 1.“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” The Father doesn’t pull the whole tree out by its roots in one swoosh of a fix. No. He prunes, step by blessed step at a time. BTW You don’t actually fail a pop quiz when you fall, because such as this is a fine learning opportunity. 🙂

                    I smell Wisdom here, LOL. Now I am struggling/wrestling with how to fit this to who I am, etc. I have come to accept about myself that I possess zero patience for anything methodical. It feels like refined torture, and therefore I will quit it if it is not scaled down to a doable (low) level. I have to discipline this in many areas of my life, as you may imagine. This may be in part because my plate is spilling over with many tasks.

                    Praying about this, I felt God ask me to pray like this: “Please God, help me and my loved ones not to eat our vomit.” That’s it. Along with the S.T.O.P. exercise. That’s the level I’m at.

                    Beckita, a wonderful thought, a seed of hope I see clearly from God, reaching into the past and HEALING it (I have begged for this) is that prior to LiamXOXO’s death, the Lord taught me this mantra: “Bring to ME your good, bad and ugly (nod to Clint Eastwood, Hah). My ‘especiality is The Ugly. The Vomit”

                    When LiamXOXO came to me a month before he died and asked me for help (me with zero understanding about the incredible evil he was facing) told him that exact phrase. I ended it with: “As long as you bring it to Jesus, everything will end well. Always run to Jesus, never from Him.”

                    So I never knew that dog-eating-his-vomit bible phrase before. NEVER knew it. EVER—-until now. Yet there it was, on my heart, in that troubled past. I see there was God. He was there. Making a path. Oh, it melts my heart with hope, TYG.

                    I spent time in shock, letting that all sink in.

                    Saturday was a tough and yet victory day for Our Lady for me. I had went ahead and listened to some of the Father wound stuff. I am trying to find God in the reality that negative thought processes, over time (?generational sin, etc?) are very likely to cause real physical disease. I am wrestling to find the truth here in what can be a new-agey kinda thing or, more toxic, a fundamentalist mentality/blame/temptation-to-pride (either I’m the greatest or I’m the lowest) kinda-thing. The truth that commands us to reject negative thought as sin and S.T.O.P. It’s a bit overwhelming.

                    I love the bit about quantum physics that Sonja talked about in this weeks Freedom from Anxiety release. I loved how Anne talked this morning about peeling onion layers, freedom from toxic shame-talk and how God plants seeds of light/hope.

                    All those temptations are traps I have surely succumbed to. I’m so tired of all that and long for true freedom in Christ. A couple of years ago now I felt Our Lady ask me to beg God, through her for “radical forgiveness” I did/do this, continually. I don’t fully understand it, but I had another Shock Moment, when Sonja nailed it home in the Freedom from Anxiety Series.

                    So what I see, is that God knows, and has long been preparing my/my family’s delivery. I have to rid myself of the notion that it is based on anything I do, EXCEPT, chosing Him—TNRS. The whole of me stumbling onto Sonja’s work was an answer to my begging him for understanding. I see now that Pop Quizzes are a blessing. The other info is too overwhelming. But it’s okay. He’s in control. He has this. That’s what He told me. I believe Him. TYG, You will see me/us/all through this into your arms. TYG.

  37. Littlelight, perhaps the incident was allowed to happen because now God wants you to intercede for them, and all those you just asked to pray for them. I bet they have no one to pray for them and your prayers and forgiveness may be a means to pull them back from the edge of an abyss. You may even meet them in Heaven. Your cancelling the debt they owe you for their part in the incident binds them to your intercession, forgiveness and all the blessings you will call down upon them. When you cancel the debt, your pain is greatly alleviated if not removed. Praying for you and your kids and the young couple.

    https://corac.co/2021/07/30/building-bridges

    On Saturday, September 11, 2021 Jeff and I and about a dozen other friends met nearby to rally together on her behalf for her treatment being denied at an Amita Hospital that my dear goddaughter works for as a first year nurse.

    She was denied treatments and died early this morning. The culture of death trolls on twitter were sinister and the media and CPD assisted in thwarting good measures taken on her behalf to my shock and horror.

    The details are still being sorted out and for now I simply ask for prayers for the repose of her soul and for an end to medical tyranny.

  49. If you could keep in your prayers 2 family members and the mother of a very special High School class mate who all died between October 6 and October 10.

    My wife’s father died on October 8, He suffered from dementia and mini-strokes while in hospice care in a nursing home. Kathy’s father, Corwyn, was a very mild and patient helpful Catholic man of 93 years. While he may have been mild-mannered, he was a hard and tireless working man that knew about every trade and method of building and fixing anything. He was a great Father-in-law. He died peacefully. God gave all the grandkids a chance to see him one more time before he died 36 hours later.

    My best friend for the past 60 years, Carl, informed me on October 10, that his dad Alfred, died. He died from the same issues as my father-in-law. I was literally part of the 100% Italian Racchini family since I was 9. Carl was also a full-fledged part of my family even though we had nine kids. Our parents were both strong Catholics. My dad and Fred, as I called him after I turned 21, were instrumental in helping our small new parish become functional and a working institution by fixing everything and adding everything that was needed in the old school and new church. This was back in the late 1950’s and well into the 60’s as the as the parish grew. Both our families were very close as well. Fred was almost a pro hockey player from MN, my Jr. college counselor, a teacher and was always telling stories from Italy. He, like my Father-in-law, was a master tradesman and could build anything, such as their family cabin which he built on a lake in MN. Of course, he conscripted Carl and I to do the grunt work, just like my dad did when he was doing work of epic proportions but of a different nature.

    Prior to what I consider two family deaths, the mother of a very close friend from high school died on October 6. I saw Peggy 5 days earlier after attending our 50-year HS class reunion where she mentioned her mother was pretty ill. Peggy came from a family that was a true representation of what a Catholic family should be. And their example certainly carried down to Peggy and her siblings and now her children and grandchildren. From our short talk during the reunion all 6 of her kids went through solidly Catholic grade schools, HS and colleges, and now their grandkids are continuing in the faith. A real tribute to her parents. Peggy was very close to her mother who was a source of strength even through her weakness. I am sure right now she is more worried about her kids and grandkids than herself. Her mother would be very proud of her as is God of her faithful mother.

    These 3 greatest generation era Catholics are what is needed in this world. Looking back on their life and the impact they have had on me personally as well as the values they have imbued in younger generations has certainly left a positive example of truth and peace. This is truly a needed and required duty of any Catholic parent. The responsibility, values, hard work, having more than 2 kids, having a mother raise the kids, that these greatest generation catholic souls have demonstrated may have been more of a norm back then, but is now seen more as an aberration to most. May being an aberration be a badge of honor in this day and age.

    May God bless these souls and may our Blessed Mother comfort those suffering from the loss of their loved ones.

    Thank you all very much.

      1. Thank you so much Beckita. I am sure your prayers helped for all parties to have a very peaceful and needed gathering of family and friends to share stories and say their final good byes.

        Both for Kathy side of the family and my side of the family we are now the oldest living generation. We have formally taken the place of our parents. Even when a parent is still living, but weak and mentally or physically incapacitated, and we are really in charge, the fact they are still alive, gives us comfort that we are still the kids because mom or dad are still with us. There is still life. But when the very last parent dies, there is this loss of being alone and insecure even though there is no change in overall family role responsibilities etc. From a logical standpoint this makes no sense. A person does not have to be awake and lucid to have communication with another’s soul. I think this is a mystical event that should be contemplated

        A final little uplifting story. My wife cried throughout the entire funeral mass. I am glad I got a box of tissue from the funeral home before we left. On the way out I had my arm around Kathy. My son then came up and put his arm around his mom, followed by a couple of grandkids, then a daughter-in-law. Another son joined in and two more grandkids, and another daughter-in-law and a son. I had backed out at this point since I wanted Kathy to feel and hear the words and cries of the kids and grandkids that were trying so hard to comfort her. It was very moving and after about 30 seconds it seems all the tears dried up and everyone calmed down. God seemed to grant them all a peace and assusre them all that it everything was going to be ok, and that Granpa was on his way to see Grandma in Heaven. From that point on there were no tears just prayers of thanksgiving at the grave site and a kind of happiness. I thought it was a beautiful gift God blessed Kathy and the entire family with to ease the stress, pain and sorrow of the past weeks and to focus instead on the gift of his life and that she was blessed to be chosen by God to be Corwyn’s oldest daughter. for over 6 decades. Pretty cool

        1. I love stories of faith, John. How beautiful is what you describe about your family and the powerful bonding that deepens when a dear one passes and prayer is offered as that one journeys Home. I had been praying for the wife of Damain Stayne who was dying. Damian, a man of deep faith, whom God uses as a Catholic evangelist with a tremendous healing ministry. We can consider where our loved ones are going in the ways that Damian described the day before his beloved Cathy died:

          “Seems like our darling Cathy is fading and beginning to go up the runway for take off into glory. (She is not passed yet but breathing very faint indeed) She will awaken from this shadow world and her eyes will open and in an instant behold all beauty, glory, majesty, as she is born into the eternal world of infinite love as she looks upon the dazzling face of God and lives! As she is ignited into living flame and her mind expands into cosmic revelations. Joy! Joy! Joy! In a sea of infinite peace. Angels and Saints glorious around her, holy friends and family appearing as if gods, her own self becoming all glorious light. And there the Lord of glory outshining all other lights, illuminating all as the living light of the Kingdom.”

          1. Wow, what an absolutely beautiful spiritually poetic way of describing the last seconds of earthly life and the awakening into eternity with God. Kind of makes one want to hurry up and get to our final moments as well. But we know we have to finish what role God has given us. And regardless of how beautiful Damian described the transition about Cathy’s death, it is still just a dim shadow of what is truly waiting for us.

        3. John, I have prayed for your intentions and for you and your family. I can relate to what you wrote about the loss of our last parent and how we have a feeling of insecurity and being alone. Also, I agree that one can still have communication with someone who is not awake or lucid. I had the experience with my mother before she passed. It was rather beautiful. I love how your family members came together and cried and loved on each other and then felt God’s peace. God bless you all. Love Beckita’s comment about Damain Stayne’s description of the glory to which she would awaken. A hospice volunteer told me something similar about what my mother would experience and it gave me much comfort and joy.

      1. Thanks much Jen.

        You are right about their legacy of love. I believe a person’s true legacy is what they pass down to their kids, essentially, the Catholic Faith, through their example of teaching and preparing them for life in a faithless world. People look at their legacy accomplishments as getting their kids through college, or they all had good clothes ate food and the latest gadgets to help their kids better socialize. I became a pro baseball player or was a Navy Admiral. Or just any materialistic goal(s). Few people look at their legacy as getting themselves and or setting up the framework and tasks/environment to do their best to get their children to heaven. It was a real honor to know these people have them in my life on top of my mom and dad as well. I have been blessed.

        Thank you, Lord.

      1. Thanks much HTTP for your prayers. It is interesting that even a snapshot of a person’s live can give one a pretty good idea of a picture of the person and what they meant to people that loved them. Thanks for see that in my brief post.

        You know once you start on one memory, a hundred more start flooding in. I took quite a while just to write that post because I just paused so many times just thinking of memories that came up and before you know it 10 minutes went by. This would happen again and again. An since I was writing a brief memory of each loved one it really got as I said took several hours before I knew it. But it goes to show you how much you even forget about the people that were dear to you during your life until things like this happen.

    4. John, I am very sorry for your loss. I will pray for the repose of the souls of Corwyn, Fred, and Peggy’s mother; and also for all of you who are grieving their passing.

    2. HTTP, that is sad to hear. Women do much better than men on ventilators. Nonetheless, it would be far better to get her off the ventilator and put her in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber once a day for several days. The hospital probably has one for wound healing. That will fix her up after only a few sessions.
