  • He left this world on the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, at the hour that Our Lord died on the Cross.

    Please accept our sympathies SM    Wonderful that you're arranging a Missae Gregorianus.

    Eternal Rest grant unto him Oh Lord.

    Thank you so much.  I would not have thought of the St Mary Magdalene connection.  This is a deep consolation to me. 

    He went quickly and did not suffer.

    We are doing about as okay as we can under the circuмstances. 

    Thanks to everyone for your prayers.

  •  :pray: Sorry to hear about your loss SM.
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

  • Many thanks to everyone for your prayers and well-wishes.  We are actually doing better than I would have expected. 

    This is kind of urgent --- in that it is just before 10:30 pm here and I would like to get the novena started today, if I can --- but does anyone have a copy of a fully traditional, pre-V2 approved, novena for the faithful departed? 

    You can simply post it here, and I'll copy it over to an Open Office docuмent, to use the next nine days.

    I have found this and that online, but it's not clear what is traditional, and what is not, and I want to make sure this gets done right.  The most "traditional" thing I found was actually from the website of an Episcopal congregation. 

    If anyone has access to such a novena, I'd be much obliged.

    Thanks so much.

  • Don't forget the Nine Days Prayers for One Recently Deceased Taken from the 1925 prayer book Blessed Be God.

  • If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

  • Thanks to everyone who supplied these on such short notice.  Matthew, the one you posted, is the one that was in my mind's eye, so I'm going to use that one.   Not thinking the most clearly tonight.

    Sadly, unless my mother is in a state that I can't leave her --- you cannot imagine what a strong woman she is --- I shall once again be able to assist at Holy Mass on Sundays.

  • A prayer for the repose of your father: 

    Quote
    May the angels lead thee into Paradise; may the martyrs receive thee at thy coming, and bring thee into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of angels receive thee, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, mayest thou have eternal rest.

     Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
