Prayers for former colleague

I just received this update from a friend who I used to work with. We both work with this gentleman (Bill). I’m shocked and saddened. He was a very good man… continue to live in Japan as he loved the county.

please pray for his soul and that of his wife and daughter.

we just never know when God will call and how it will be.

there is just an evilness and darkness all
Around

This is horrible. I will be praying for them today, may they RIP.

 

Prayers .

 

This is horrible miker. So very sad. Praying right now.

 

So painful and fearful when something like this occurs to someone we know. Prayers for the souls of the deceased!

Lord have Mercy; we know not the day nor hour.

 

Offering prayers for the eternal rest of their souls and for the accused.

 

Prayers said for these poor souls.

 

Prayers for Bill.

None of us die a second before our time to go home, none of us a second after. I find this a great consolation.

 

Hi Padraig
My old mum’s soul left from Scotland for heaven on December 23. (93) My health does not permit me to travel from my New Zealand home. Of course the internet has allowed me to to be fully involved in her passing and her funeral will be live streamed. My brother Paul has just invited me to contribute my memories to mum’s eulogy. Please remember mum in your prayers. Please feel free to repost this on another thread if necessary.
Thanks
Joe

 

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your mum. I am so sorry for your loss. I’m glad that you will be involved in her funeral. I will be praying.

 

Dear Joe/ very sorry for the loss of your Mom. She is in my prayers/ will bring her to Adoration tomorrow evening. Peace

 

I will gladly pray for your mum. I am so sorry you were unable to be with her.

 

I find great consolation in the though that people of your mothers generation and my mother, were stickers. Their Faith was the bed rock of all they lived and were. They were like rocks and will go were all good rocks to form the Foundations of the Holy City, the Heavenly Jerusalem above.

A second consolation is that they are much closer to us from heaven than they were here below in this valley of tears. True love never dies, it is Eternal in the Heart of God. This is true in very special way of mothers. With Mothers in a very special way the veil between this world and the next rises. Mothers never wander very far away. Their loving hearts anchor them near own own.

I am sorry to hear you will not be her funeral. But I reminded of a story that happened year several years ago. \A seminarian was to be ordained in Derry the next day, but that night his father died of a heart attack. People consoled him that his father had missed his ordination, but the young priest replied, 'My father was more present at my ordination than if he were alive.

Be sure that if you could not travel to Scotland your mother will be well able to travel from heaven to be with yourself.

Prayers for your mothers soul and your own healing. Offering up Mass in the morning.

 

I will pray for your Mother’s soul and for peace for you.

 

Thanks Padraig
Very consoling
Joe

 

Praying the rosary for your mum and family.

 

Thank you Garabandal. My Irish family from Tyrone and Derry will travel over.

 

Thank you Rory - we always said the rosary on trips in the car.

 

Thank you for your sympathy and your empathy, AED

 

Thank you Miker - my mum’s dad from Co Cavan, died when she was only 11 or 12. Shortly after mum’s passing while praying for her I had a very clear picture in my head of mum walking down the heavenly aisle towards The Altar with her arm resting on her dad’s arm. She loved her dad very much and it saddened her that he had not been there to give her away. As promised “every tear will be wiped away.”
