I live in Steubenville and our family belongs to the diocese. Prayers up! Out of curiosity, where did he fall?

O Blessed St. Joseph, who gave up your last breath in the arms of Jesus and Mary, obtain for Fr. Ryland, I beseech you, the grace of a happy death. Defend him from all evil, especially in his final hour. Assist him by your presence, protect him by your power, and obtain for him this grace, O holy St. Joseph, that he may breathe forth his soul in praise, saying in spirit, if he is unable to do so in words: Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give you my heart and life. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph for a Happy Death
O Glorious St. Joseph, behold I choose thee today for my special patron in life and at the hour of my death. Preserve and increase in me the spirit of prayer and fervor in the service of God. Remove far from me every kind of sin; obtain for me that my death may not come upon me unawares, but that I may have time to confess my sins sacramentally and to bewail them with a most perfect understanding and a most sincere and perfect contrition, in order that I may breathe forth my soul into the hands of Jesus and Mary. Amen

Prayers for a wonderful man I was granted the privilege to know. I asked him, back when my wife was an Episcopalian, what I could do to bring her into the church. Several years later, I was able to introduce my now-Catholic wife to him on the campus at Steubenville.

Fr. Ryland taught at USD when I was there. I regret that I never had him for a class.

"Yesterday while on his way to the Perpetual Adoration chapel at their parish church in Steubenville, Fr Ray fell on the steps and suffered very serious injuries." The parish church in question was St Peter's, the largest church in the city, right downtown. Apparently the entrance to the Adoration Chapel is outside & down a flight of stairs. Ruth was with him. According to Sandi it was very distressing - he was badly injured and instantly knocked out. The ambulance was there in less than 5 minutes and straight to the ER at Trinity West, but his condition remains critical.
I'm thinking he was born around 1925, which would make him around 89-90. He and Ruth and 5 children , 22 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He's also got books, tapes and I think videos on YouTube. And thousands of former students to whom he is/was a real spiritual father. A prolific, brilliant, and deeply, tenderly-loving man. His heart is the Lord's, all the way. Here and hereafter. Amen.

Please pray for my friend, who is very likely breathing his last.
May God receive his soul!
