Good evening to all.
I'd like to ask everybody's prayers for a friend who has fought a long and valiant struggle against cancer, but has come to the end of the fight. She's in hospice now, and it's only a matter of days before the Lord calls her home. She is a beautiful little lady, very faithful, very kind, and always busy in and around the church. She was in our handbell choir during her last remission, and played the bells next to me until she became too ill to continue.
Please pray that she suffer as little as possible, that Christ welcome her home, and that her family be comforted, especially her husband who is a deacon at our church and loves her so much. He is probably in greatest need of our prayers.
"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Please pray for Sandra.
Prayers in thanksgiving for her life and for her as she takes her final journey home. Also prayers for her loved ones who will miss her much.
Prayers for Sandra and her family.
God bless all of them.
My prayers are up.
Holy, Holy are You, O God, in the heavens and on
earth. You are the hope of the living, and reward
of the dead. Accept our prayers and have mercy on us. Grant rest to Sandra
who hoped in You and received your Body and Blood.Open your doors, O heavenly Jerusalem and let our
prayers ascend to the throne of Christ. Accept
O Lord, our petitions so that we may receive
mercy and forgiveness. Through the prayers of
Your Mother and all the saints, grant the joyful
paradise to those who now await the resurrection.Amen

Prayers at Mass this AM.
God bless your friend. She will be in my prayers, as will her husband.
I prayed...
Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

prayers for your dear friend Sandra & our sister in Christ. I have been reading many books on heaven (from my uncle whose wife died this spring & had been given a lot of books). Many were life after etc..
They are really good to read. We have faith. We believe but oh how nice to see these accounts..
Bless you dear also, it is very difficult to say goodbye to those you care about.
I’m going to St. Benedict Abbey in a few minutes and will pray hard for Sandra and another friend I talked to yesterday...lung cancer and never smoked. They’re so close to a cure for cancer, sigh. God will welcome us all home.
Adding prayers
Pray that God’s Blessings will be upon her as the Angels come to take her back to Him.
Prayers for her and her family.
Prayers up!
I pray for the Lord’s peace to be upon this good lady and her loving husband during this time of homegoing.
A valiant wife, who can find? For her value is greater than rubies.
Prayers sent for Sandra.
My heartfelt prayers for the comfort and solace of this woman as she is recieved into God’s arms, prayer for the comfort and solace of those she leaves behind.
