It sounds like a very holy good Catholic death, well prepared for. I hope when my own time comes I may do so well. Praying for his soul this morning, he sounds like a very good Catholic gentleman. Offering up Morning Mass.
You're welcome. Events like these make me think and so a great grace. It has me thinking of my own death to come, so a great grace. Jesus, Mary and Joseph,, I give you my heart and my soul; Jesus, Mary and Joseph assist me now and in my last agony; Jesus, Mary and Joseph, may I bring forth my soul in peace with you. Amen.
Sorry for your loss Eternal rest grant onto Floyd and may the Holy Spirit comfort you and your family through your sadness.
How blest he was in his family to see him through the final passage. What a beautiful witness to the power of the Rosary.
PF, God Bless your grandpa’s soul. Your strong faith throughout this has been very inspiring to your family to persevere in prayer to the end and also to all of us. Now you have a soul that will pray for you and your baby to come.
Yes, I have been asking Gramps' intercession for my baby soon to come. It seems like a beautiful transition--one life leaving the world, one life entering... And I'll be able to offer up my labor for him in case he's in Purgatory.
Sorry for your loss. My grandfather passed similarly, it was a relief that in the end moments he found peace.
I often wonder is it a battle or does the vail drop and the dying person gets frustrated trying to let those around them know the truth.
