Please pray for my brother

  • My older brother, Philip, 65 years old, was rushed into emergency last night with what turned out to be a massive heart attack.  After working on him for about 2 or 3 hours, the doctors said that there is nothing more they can do for him, that he is now brain dead and asked permission to remove him from life support. Fr. said that under the circuмstances, it would be ok to tell the doctor to remove him from life support, but for now, his wife is waiting and hoping for a miracle.

    Deo Gratias that he received the Last Rites from one of our SSPX priests only a short time after he got to the hospital, and also he will die wearing his brown scapular.

    Please pray for him.

  • :pray::pray::pray: I’m very happy he was able to be visited by a priest and to see he is wearing the Brown Scapular.
    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?

    So sorry to hear that, Stubborn. Will certainly pray for him and remember him at Mass. It sounds like he had a cardiac arrest with his heart attack and required CPR. Cor Jesu, in agonia factum, miserere morientium! Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

  • Dear Stubborn, so sorry to hear this. Brain death is often “diagnosed” as a ploy to take organs. Brain death does not exist. It was fabricated at the same time that organ transplants became the thing. Please find out all you can about this. It is not unknown for patients to recover after so-called brain death.

    Meanwhile I will be praying for your brother, Philip, and his wife and all your family. It sounds like he is well prepared for death if indeed his time here is over, but let us pray for a miracle.
    Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
    Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

    +RIP 2024

    "Brain death" is most certainly a fraud, but Catholic theologians are pretty consistent that one may remove him from life support under these circuмstances.

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

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