I learned today that ciaran was requested to visit a young boy in hospital with leukemia in his spiderman roll ciaran did so immediately and spent several hours with the boy the mum was worried about how much it was going to cost to her surprise ciaran didn't charge a single cent...the boy survived the illness and is now 12 years old on hearing of Ciarans death he sent his £7 pocket money to buy flowers for ciaran
This is how love spans the generations and generosity glorifies God. The memory of a kind deed lives on!
Could I ask much prayers for Ciaran I had a dream last night and he appeared to me although he looked happy, I asked him what heaven was like and he said eternal happiness, I asked why are you here then ? he replied im not ready yet.
An amazing dream, offering up prayers and mass tomorrow It would be wonderful to be a priest and be able to say a Mass for someone if you had a dream like that.
Will pray for Ciaran. I remember the dream you and your wife had after he passed... on a boat trying to paddle back to shore. If it gives you any consolation, I had an experience after my accident of also seeing a beautiful ocean blue and many, many white boats with white sails coming into a horseshoe shaped bay with people on this beautiful island in the middle of the bluest ocean getting on these boats. It was complete and utter peace. As i made my way from up high on this island to get on a boat, an interior voice told me not now. I am happy Ciaran appeared happy to you.... praying he is ready soon. Praying we all are ready when it our time
Eternal rest grant unto Ciaran, O Lord; let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the Faithful departed rest in piece. May all who love and surrender themselves to You share in the Resurrection of the Just.
Prayers again today for Ciaran. I was praying for someone , a relative yesterday and telling them how much I missed them. But it came to me that they wait for us in heaven. Not only wait but are preparing the way for our own coming into heaven. Fixing a Feast for us, so to speak and it will be incredibly wonderful! That it will, so to speak, kick off our Eternity with a bang! All the souls we prayer for will be there to greet us at the doorway to heaven. Also if we pray for a soul who is already in heaven that prayer is not wasted. We add to their incidental glory. Hebrews 12:1 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
Gone from My Sight I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone." Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me -- not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone," there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" For although she is gone from my sight in this world she is arriving in heaven, those eyes that see her are her heavenly family, they are just as excited to see her coming as I once was, when she stood by my side. And that is dying...
Thank you for sending this. I had never heard it before, but it touched me deeply. The blue ocean and white sails are so close to what I experienced. It almost feels as though this poem gives words to what I was shown but could never fully explain. Peace. God grant Ciaran rest.
