[Salvation]

Please pray for my dad, Jerry, age 100, and the repose of his soul. He died at 9:15 this morning.

Divine Mercy Sunday.

A long and full life. What a blessing!

But the loss of one’s father (and patriarch, no doubt) is a hole that just doesn’t quite ever fill.

My sincere condolences and prayers.

Peace to you, and comfort to your whole house.

[Salvation]

Thank you!

[NYer]

What a beautiful prayer! Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[vladimir998]

Oh my! You have my prayers.

[Salvation]

Pray for my borthers and sisters who are there arranging everything. (I’m the oldest of seven and one brother is deceased.)

I don’t even knoe if the caridologist will release me to go to the funeral with the high atrial fib that I am dealing with.

[SumProVita]

May he be welcomed into the Divine MERCY with great joy!

I’ll keep you and yours in my prayers because I know you will miss him for a while.

[Heart-Rest]

So sorry, Salvation.   Praying for you, your Dad, and your whole family and loved ones.

Blessed Pope John Paul II died on the Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday (a different day that year), as discussed at this link:

   Divine Mercy and Pope John Paul II

Asking for his prayers also, and may Our Blessed Mother console you (and remember that all our "Hail Mary's" we ever say ask Mary to pray for us and our loved ones at the hour of our deaths.)

100, “a mighty age”. God have Mercy on his soul and give Peace to those he leaves.

[NYer]

I just sent that to my brothers and sister for the funeral handout. Never know!

If you want, I can send you the entire prayer which includes remembrances for priests, martyrs, apostles, etc. This prayer is chanted at the conclusion of the funeral mass while the priest incenses the coffin. It is traditional in the Maronite Church to celebrate a mass 40 days after the funeral, at which time the Myrrh & Incense prayer is again chanted at the conclusion of the mass and once again on the 1st anniversary. Let me know.

[PraiseTheLord]

For your dad, Jerry, RIP +

[Carriage Hill]

Prayers for Jerry’s eternal soul. RIP with our Lord.

[Tax-chick]

Prayers up for your father! Praise God that you had so many years!

[MestaMachine]

Gonna post the full story sometime this evening. Very tired right now, but will post my story before the night is over. Might be a little surprising. Might be boring. But feel as though an explanation is in order to clear up any confusion.
Thank you for asking.

[Salvation]

Please do. It is beautiful. My brother who died was a priest.

[ConorMacNessa]

I am well, thanks! Please accept my condolences and prayers on behalf of your Dad, of your family and of course, of you.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Carpe Cerevisi]

May he rest in peace.
