PLEASE pray for my father, William Paul Quinn, who is expected to die in the next day or two. He is 91, and has struggled physically for a long time, but especially in the last six months since my mother’s death.
Pray also for your own parents, if they are still alive. Here is a beautiful prayer for that purpose:
O God, Who hast commanded us to love our father and mother, look down upon the souls of my beloved parents, whom Thy only-begotten Son has redeemed on the Cross. Remember, O Lord, the good which with Thy grace they accomplished; remit the punishments which their imperfections deserve. Pay Thou their debt, O Jesus, with Thy Precious Blood. Grant me that favor for the sake of the love which Thou hast for Thy Mother Mary and Thy Foster-Father Saint Joseph. Grant that I may meet my dear parents again in the realm of eternal bliss, that we may together enjoy the happiness of Thy saints forever and ever. Amen.
I appreciate your prayers for my father.
