Prayers for my grandfather and family

    • Hi Everyone,

    A couple hours ago I received word that my grandfather's heart aneurysm is leaking, and he is in pain and will die soon. I am travelling to see him. If you could say a prayer for his conversion, my family's consolation, and my determination and ability to speak of the Church when I see him, I would be thankful.

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    God be with you and your grandpa, Graham. I'll say a rosary with your intentions.

    Most merciful and immaculate heart of Mary, pray for him at the hour of his death.

    • He died today, 30 minutes after I arrived. Maybe he was waiting for me.

    Well, it's out of my hands now.
