I'm sorry to hear this. Praying for your sister, Siobhan. Did she have time to prepare or was her death unexpected?
Hi Padraig My rosary is for you and your sister tonight. My brother died aged 50 in 2008. It's a hard loss to bear.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Padraig. My sympathy and my prayers are with you and your whole family.
Thank you Heavenly Mother for bringing Siobhan home on such a special day so meaningful to Padraig. Sincere condolences Padraig and all your family.
She had the Last Rites, Deanna, but she was in a coma. Death is such a mystery. Thanks to all again for your prayers.
Just got back on and read this. Mass and Rosary for you and your family. My heart is touched by your loss and I pray that she will be in the heart of Jesus, the love of God and healing of the Holy Spirit for all. Amen
Death is not extnguishing the light, it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. May she rest in peace.
O My God I did not know about this. Padraig, may God give you a lot of strength and peace. I feel very sorry for you. This is what I mean: more and more dreadful and sudden things happen, to all of us, or is this just imagination ? Is this already our purification before the real purification starts, i.e. the Warning ? I just hope that my heart is not going to break before that...
I don't know Elisa, so many things are mysteries locked up in God's Heart. I remember years ago my brothers Cormac and his wife Teresa (both 26) and their little daughter Shona (2) were all killed in a car smash and I had to go to the morgue to identify them. Not pretty they had been hit by a lorry. But when I came back my mother , a very devout Catholic who had respect to my insights from prayer and who knew I had met Our Lady asked me why this terrible tragedy had happened. I told her at once as I tell you now I simply do not know . However I did say that as the world gets more and more evil as day passes day and grace seeps in floods from the world that it may be a real blessing for people to go home to God at the moment things are turning so bad. Or to put it another way, it is better to die now and go to purgatory (I saw them both doing their purgatory in front of the Blessed Sacrament a few weeks after their death) than to die twenty years from now than wind up in hell. My mother accepted this. St Catherine of Siena said an interesting thing in her book , 'Dialogue with God'. She asked God how come rich people who were evil often seemed to have such a ball? God told her that sometimes even bad people did good things. Since they were going to hell anyway , God said he rewarded them in this life as since they would be burning forever in the next life he could not reward them then Good people on the other hand could go, so to speak on the long finger. I always thought that this was very logical. It reminded me that even if so much is mystery God Himself has a working plan. We may not know it, but we know its there which is enough for me anyway. God asks us to step out in Faith. To sacrifice Isaac so to speak and I am happy enough with this. I am a person who loves God mostly with my heart rather than my head and am happy enough to wait till heaven to find out.
