From a Sudden and Unprovided Death…
November 9, 2010
Our neighbor who was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell cancer in May passed away early this morning. He was a good son and brother who saw his mission in life to care for his ailing mother who passed away shortly after he was diagnosed. Please say some prayers for the repose of his soul. God will surely bless him for the many years he made it possible for his family and friends to enjoy his mother who was a lovely person. Filial piety.
Since this is the month of the Poor Souls, I’ve been thinking about the Church’s prayers for deliverance from a sudden and unprovided death. I put them under the page at this site, “Prayers for the Dying.”
It’s always a good idea to remember that we will not know the day or the hour of our passing, and to be ready for it always, trusting in the mercy of God.
R. Now and forever. Amen.

- What Does the Prayer Really Say
I’m sorry to hear about your neighbor, Barb. I will pray for the repose of his soul.
Thanks, Mary. He and his mom were down-home good people – just the kind of people who are “real”. We spent happy times together and I’ll miss him and his mom.
Prayers going up for the repose of the soul of your neighbor. Thanks for posting that prayer, too.
