UPDATE on Bishop Williamson, RE his having a few days left:

"This is the truth... And many thanks to the growing
group of young and not so young people who are now
watching day and night over His Lordship at the
hospital... 'Vigilate et orate!'" (From his house in Broadstairs)


Not much here, but apparently they are keeping constant vigil.

Good to know that there are many who are keeping vigil at the hospital. 

Thank you, Bishop Williamson.  I bought your book about returning to the Land.  

May God be with you always. 

The admin of the Bishop Williamson (unofficial) Telegram has posted this:

I had the honour of visiting Bishop Williamson today in the QEQM hospital today. The doctors estimate he is most likely to die within the next 24 hours, and even if he recovered, he would be in a vegetative state. We prayed the rosary around him, he again received extreme unction and mass was said in his room, both of which I had the privilege of participating in. Bishop Richard Nelson Williamson would and does want us to pray the rosary for him, so please do.

God bless you all

Are we sure it's real?  Fake stories also originated with Telegram accounts.

Man do I hate this "vegetative state" crap, not only the degrading term itself, reducing human beings conceptually to being the equivalent of vegetables, but also how they then leverage it to kill people, like Terri Schiavo.  Fr. Cekada's callous defense of her murder continues to be one of the most disgraceful episodes in the history of Traditional Catholicism.  Perhaps the worst possible outcome here would on fact be that, and then I could see the state moving to murder Bishop Williamson.

This Telegram channel did not post that +W had died.  They cautioned against spreading false info, so perhaps there is reason to trust this one site.

I agree with the "vegetative state" nonsense.  I wonder if they do mean to murder him and harvest his organs, not for transplants, but for experimentation.  I hope whoever is there on his behalf is monitoring and advocating against any such action.

Same.  I had read that in England you are an organ donor by default unless you opt out, so I hope that His Excellency had done so.  Of course, with his age, most of his organs would likely not be great candidates for transplant ... so that works in his favor.  But I could see them trying to murder him like they did to Terri Schiavo ... just to set precedents, and out of sheer malice.

Yes, I know the owner of that telegram. He's meet with +W a few times this year, and was supposed to meet with him today (before he was in hospital).

Sorry, I didn't read those prayers before posting, I thought they are different. I was moved by the story about about these prayers.

"There once was a Pope in Rome who was surrounded by many sins. The Lord God struck him with a fatal illness. When he saw that he was dying, he summoned cardinals, bishops, and learned persons and said to them: “My dear friends! What comfort can you give me now that I must die, and when I deserve eternal damnation for my sins?” No one answered him. One of them, a pious curate named John said: “Father, why do you doubt the Mercy of God?” The Pope replied: “What comfort can you give me now that I must die and fear that I’ll be damned for my sins?” John replied: “I’ll read three prayers over you; I hope you’ll be comforted and that you’ll obtain Mercy from God.” The Pope was unable to say more. The curate and all those present knelt and said an Our Father, then the following Prayers:


and after these prayers it's written: "Meanwhile the Pope died. The curate persevered to the  hour, then the Pope appeared to him in body and comforted him. His countenance as brilliant as the sun, his clothes as white as snow, he said: “My dear brother! Whereas I was supposed to be a child of damnation, I’ve become a child of happiness. As you recited the first Prayer, many of my sins fell from me as rain from Heaven, and as you recited the second Prayer, I was purified, as a goldsmith purifies gold in a hot fire. I was still further purified as you recited the third Prayer. Then I saw Heaven open and the Lord, Jesus, standing on the Right Hand of God the Father Who said to me: “Come, all thy sins are forgiven thee, you’ll be and remain in the Realm of My Father forever. Amen!”

With these words, my soul separated from my body and the Angels of God led it to Eternal Joy. As the curate heard this, he said: “O Holy Father! I can’t tell these things to anyone, for they won’t believe me.” Then the Pope said: “Truly I tell thee, the Angel of God stands with me and has written the prayers in letters of gold for the consolation of all sinners. If a person had committed all the sins in the world, but that the three Prayers shall have been read (over him) at his end (death), all his sins will be forgiven him, even though his soul was supposed to suffer until the Last Judgment, it will be redeemed (freed).

The person who hears them read, won’t die an unhappy death, nor in whose house they will be read. Therefore, take these prayers and carry them into St. Peter’s Basilica and lay them in the Chapel named the Assumption of Mary, for certain consolation. The person who will be near death, who reads them or hears them read, gains 400 years indulgence for the days he was supposed to suffer in Purgatory because of his guilt. Also, who reads this Prayer or hears it read, the hour of his death shall be revealed to him. Amen!

It is because of the above account that you posted that the three prayers, with the Kyries, Paters and Aves, were added to the prayers prayed after the administration of Extreme Unction by the priest, to the priests' Rituale Romanum.
Unfortunately, the internet and those copying/altering the original Pieta Prayer book have in recent times modernized/altered/deleted parts of the original.  The devil never rests.
