Prayer Ping for Monsignor Hannigan.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen
If you are going to pick your place, that’s about the best place to go. It’s like a Gift.
It was really scary. Somebody started a rosary, maybe some medically trained parishioners went on the altar but the paramedics were very close and came quickly. They checked him and loaded him up and took him to the hospital.
The younger priest finished the mass. He was all right and resumed his duties in a few days. He did retire not too long after that to his cabin on the river and didn't live too long after that. God bless Father Denning's soul. He was a nice priest.
And may the priest who died saying mass find rest from his labors, light, and peace.
When our good Lord calls you home you go no matter what.
He just blessed another little soul and brought the baby to the Lord. In the twinkle of an eye he was standing before the Lord. He must feel great joy.
God bless and keep you Father.
Actually, it will be a great thing:
“Son, you were the last baby baptized by this saintly priest before he went to meet the Lord. Some of his last words and thoughts were about your soul and your salvation.”
Lord Jesus, rest Thy servant Timothy with the saints and comfort his congregation.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the company of all priest martyrs, amen.
Prayers up.
so sorry to hear, he died administering the sacraments, doing Christ’s work, I’m sure he’s up in heaven now. BTW, a few years ago by me a priest died during midnight mass. God can call us home at anytime.
That’s a great grace.

Indeed.
I don’t get the reference to the Omen either. People die every day. Some of them die doing what they loved. By all accounts the good father died doing what he loved to do surrounded by his extended family.
Only people like you would think that way - the baby had nothing to do with the priest's death.
It was his time -With your logic I imagine everyone in that congregation should be tied to his death too
besides most newstories on this say it was communion not a baptism
Oh, good grief.
Of course the baby is innocent, for you to think otherwise is foolish.
When the pictures of his baptism/christening are shown someone will mention that the priest died.
Lol. Thanks for proving my point - you would be the type to bring that up.
Good lord.
When my friend was having a baby shower for her youngest, there was a creek by her house.
Her oldest and my youngest went into the creek and found a dead body...every time the pictures are shown of the baby shower someone brings up the dead body in the creek.
It is human nature.
