Please, out of your charity pray for an elderly lady I know, Hilda, who is a lapsed Catholic. She is very seriously ill and has refused the Sacraments. Please pray that she may be brought back to the Faith and be reconcilled before she dies. Thank you.

Give her a blessed Green Scapular. If she refuses to take it, then place it hidden near her in the room. The Green Scapular works wonders - it made my grandmother receive the Sacrament after 40 years of not going to confession.

I will pray hard. Don't give up hope! My father-in-law was a lapsed Catholic since 1970. Since that time, he had refused to go the Mass, receive the Sacraments, or even talk to a priest. On December 31, 2003, on his death bed, he called for a priest. He died the following morning after having a Confession. May God have Mercy on his soul.....

Hilda died this evening, sadly she never received the Sacraments, but we still hope that in His Infinite Mercy, God granted her the necessary graces in her last moments, and that she was compliant with those graces. Please pray for her soul, and for her family.
