My father passed away this morning and I am requesting any prayer for him. He was Catholic but away from the Church. He was 87 so a long life but it is all in God's hands now.
Tanker, I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. May the angels rush to meet him and bring him directly to Our Good Lord's banquet. God bless you and your family.
I will pray for him. May he rest in peace. I offer you my sympathy. Losing a parent is always heartwrenching no matter what their age.
May God comfort you in your sadness "friend" and may your father Rest in Peace... so sorry for your loss....
Tanker can you share his first name with us? Helps when praying although of course Our Lord knows who I'm praying for.
Tanker, just saw this post. Know that the repose of your father is in my prayers. Praying that he sought the grace of our Lord at his death.
My condolences to you and your family Tanker. I will pray for his soul and for your family this morning at Holy Hour. May God Bless you all.
Thank you all so much This forum and all of ou wonderful people are so comforting. His name is Bill Nims. I worried so about him being away from the Church. I have prayed for several years in my rosaries that the Lord would get him "ready to go", to be with Him. I assumed that meant coming back to the Church. But God works differently than we do. He went suddenly yesterday morning. I am in another state and I was unable to get to his bedside. I had a priest scheduled to come and give him the anointing but he went so fast the priest was unable to get there in time. I know what the Church teaches so it made me sad I couldn't get the last sacrament to him. But my sister told me he kept pointing at the window and saying " there are my people, I need to go with my people" and the last thing he said was "I am ready to go" I took that as a grace from God that He was letting me know my dad was "ready to go".
