"not praying for someone's recovery" is hardly "Christian" much less "Catholic"

Oh, kelly, not really. I am Catholic and pray often for God's will to be done rather than for the result that I want.

very well put.

God knows far better than we which is best.

And if we believe in the Heavenly Home our Father has prepared for us - then why should we wish that someone who has lived a long and fruitful life - which is now only a shadow of itself - not be released to return Home?

I don't think it's for us to either wish he stay or go - but, as you have said - "God's Will." (I trust in Him)

You have it right, bahbah. So often the result we ask for is NOT what would be best for us.
