[Aliska]

Please address your prayers to our Heavenly Father that she may be counted among his saints. I know she had faith, had a haphazard religious upbringing, was attracted to the Catholic church after suffering a divorce and nervous breakdown a few years back. I didn't want to browbeat her about religion near the end, just told her that God loved her, I loved her, and the kind people at the Kateri shrine were praying for her.

[Aliska]

Could you please ping the prayer warriors? I’ve never posted a format prayer request here before.

That’s what I had when my husband passed away at the age of 46. My sympathies for her husband and children.

May the Lord take Francie’s soul unto his bosom, and make clear to you how worthy your prayers for her were.

[RedMDer]

God our Father,

Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

[PDGearhead]

Prayers up. God bless.

[Persevero]

“and I’m feeling like my prayers failed her.”

I hate to see you saying that - please don’t blame any “imperfect” prayers for her death. I am sure God does not blame you for it, nor does anyone else.

Praying for God’s comfort upon you at this time.

[Kolokotronis]

O God of spirits and of all flesh, You have trampled upon death and have abolished the power of the devil, giving life to Your world. Give rest to the soul of Your departed servant Francine in a place of light, in a place of repose, in a place of refreshment, where there is no pain, sorrow, and suffering. As a good and loving God, forgive every sin she has committed in thought, word or deed, for there is no one who lives and does not sin. You alone are without sin. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your word is truth. For You are the resurrection, the life, and the repose of Your departed servant Francine, Christ our God, and to You we give glory, with Your eternal Father and Your all holy, good and life‑giving Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

[Amberdawn]

I will pray for Francie and her 5 children. May she rest in peace.

Prayers up for Francie and family.

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!)
