My mother is dying and her Catholic nursing home has taken up praying the Rosary over her daily. To hear the quiet recitation of prayers is like a balm on the sore-hearted spirit. One of the most beautiful rituals of Catholicism. I ask kindly that non-Catholics not to respond to me on this because this means a lot to me with my mother dying by inches.
What a wonderful incident in your mother’s life. Thanks for sharing.
So sorry to hear about your mother. I have prayed the Rosary over the dying before and I do believe it is a comfort to both the dying and those who will be left behind. If you don’t mind I will put your mother on my Rosary intentions.
One of the most treasured memories I have of my mother’s passing earlier this year is praying the Rosary with her by her bedside. A few hours later she passed in her sleep and not even my father knew it until he happened to wake up next to her a few hours later. No doubt our prayers together brought this peaceful passing. I will pray for you and your mother during my daily Rosary.
Our prayers are with you and her. Verga and wife.
When I get up at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow to say the Rosary, I’ll remember you and your mother.
So sorry, my dear, to learn of your mother’s state.
Happy, though, to know how our Lady is helping you.
Hugs and prayers.
