Title: Please pray for dying parishioner Post by: whiterockdove on November 21, 2014, 01:06:59 AM Please pray for Ken Johanek, he is dying from a series of strokes, has been bed bound for the last two years. He is not expected to live through the weekend and we were told by our priest tonight at our parish council meeting to prepare for a funeral next week.
Please pray for a happy death for Ken. I held his hand many times while he told me how badly he wants to go home to Our Lord. Thank you for your prayers! Title: Re: Please pray for dying parishioner Post by: Shin on November 21, 2014, 03:01:32 AM Prayer to St. Joseph for the Dying
O BLESSED JOSEPH, who yielded up thy last breath in the arms of Jesus and Mary, obtain for me this grace, O holy Joseph, that Ken Johanek may breathe forth my soul in praise, saying in spirit, if he is unable to do so in words: "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give Thee my heart and my soul." Amen. Kyrie eleison. Christi eleison. Kyrie eleison. Title: Re: Please pray for dying parishioner Post by: odhiambo on November 21, 2014, 05:05:26 AM Watch, O Lord,
with those who wake, or watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Jesus Christ. Rest your weary ones. Bless your dying ones. Soothe your suffering ones. Pity your afflicted ones; Shield your joyous ones; and all for your love's sake. Amen. St. Augustine of Hippo Title: Re: Please pray for dying parishioner Post by: Poche on November 21, 2014, 06:12:06 AM :+: :+: :+:

Title: Re: Please pray for dying parishioner Post by: whiterockdove on December 10, 2014, 04:25:58 PM Yes, may he rest in peace! He suffered so much for so long and with a some health care chaos,as can befall caregiving and end of life decision making.
Things got pretty crazy in the end before he was long term care. Makes me have questions about purification on earth vs. in purgatory, probably a question for another forum. Thank you all for your prayers! :flower: :flower: Title: Re: Please pray for dying parishioner Post by: whiterockdove on May 10, 2015, 01:50:17 AM Ken, may your soul rest in peace.
