Our Blessed Mother tells us that we have a vocation to pray for others, especially for the unbelievers. As you said, your Uncle has created his own hell but he is stuck there and he is exactly the one who Jesus came to save. God bless your whole family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-59756413254364924862008-06-13T17:34:00.000-06:002008-06-13T17:34:00.000-06:00Thank you, everyone...even those of you who didn't...Thank you, everyone...even those of you who didn't comment but I know are praying.

I did this for my grandma for nearly a year before she died (a smoker for over 75 of her 90 years...or she'd've been with us for another decade!). Her greatest fear, she told me, was not dying, but HOW she would die. It was not an easy death (pneumonia), but she did not suffer and we believe she was napping at the time. I'll pray for Uncle D at my long-overdue hly hour this weekend.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016763543666450600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-29321145241095335442008-06-13T02:18:00.000-06:002008-06-13T02:18:00.000-06:00BTW, I was interested in that interpretation of th...BTW, I was interested in that interpretation of the Al-Anon thing. I too recently saw someone interpret this in the same way. She became shockingly self absorbed and quite cruel really. Fortunately I think she may be slowly realising that is NOT the way to handle things.<BR/><BR/>God blessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-33151798031553327562008-06-13T02:15:00.000-06:002008-06-13T02:15:00.000-06:00I will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.I will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-5008413543235865152008-06-12T19:37:00.000-06:002008-06-12T19:37:00.000-06:00Novenas are wonderful.

And so is the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and its promises:<BR/><BR/>At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy ... In this hour I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion. (Diary 1320).<BR/><BR/>As often as you hear the clock strike the third hour immerse yourself completely in My mercy, adoring and glorifying it, invoke it's omnipotence for the whole world, and particularly for poor sinners, for at that moment mercy was opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others for the asking; it was the hour of grace for the whole world - mercy triumphed over justice<B>. . . .</B><BR/><BR/>Try your best to make the Stations of the Cross in this hour, provided that your duties permit it; and if you are not able to make the Stations of the Cross, then at least step into the chapel for a moment and adore, in the Most Blessed Sacrament. My Heart, which is full of mercy: and should you be unable to step into chapel, <B>immerse yourself in prayer there where you happen to be, if only for a very brief instant</B>. (Diary 1572)<BR/><BR/>I volunteer at a hospital, visiting patients, some near death. I don't have time to say a complete chaplet with patients.<BR/><BR/>Trusting on the promises of Jesus to St. Faustina, I just say the following, once.<BR/><BR/><I><B>ETERNAL FATHER, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity<BR/>of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for oursins and those of the whole world.<BR/><BR/>FOR THE SAKE of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on thewhole world.<BR/><BR/>HOLY GOD, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and<BR/>on the whole world.<BR/><BR/>Jesus, I trust in You.</B></I>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-19178206477257060892008-06-12T10:32:00.000-06:002008-06-12T10:32:00.000-06:00THANK YOU Sanctus Belle!!

I'm off and running!<BR/><BR/>I often use the Seraphic Mass association. When my father passed, I had Gregorian Masses said for him and have also had them said for others. So sad that an illness can tear a family apart instead of bring them together. People react unexpectedly sometimes when confronted by crisis. When the situation deteriorates so, the "only" thing left to do is pray.swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-9513267291766650042008-06-12T10:21:00.000-06:002008-06-12T10:21:00.000-06:00A novena is a most excellent idea.

I'd also suggest a double novena also the Our Lady of Mount Carmel and entrust his salvation to her intercession. Pray for all the graces needed for a perfect contrition prior to his death - this may in fact save his soul. Offer his salvation as a request at the feet of our Lady as you pray the rosary. Say the Divine Mercy Chaplet also for this intention. Graces from these prayers can descend upon his poor soul as he approaches death and help him to turn to the Lord's mercy rather than the door of His justice.<BR/><BR/>Also have masses said for his conversion and salvation - these can be done quickly by the good priests at the Seraphic Mass association.<BR/><BR/>May Mary's prayers be with your uncle.
