Please pray for this young man.
Paul Furey.
Paul is shown here with his dog, Jake. Paul is dying. He has struggled with cancer for a long time and death appears to be imminent. Please pray for him. I understand he said goodbye to his dog last night.
“Eternal Father, we offer you the most Precious Body and Blood of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”
“For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
“Blood and water flowing forth from the side of Christ as a font of mercy for us, I trust in you.”
“Arise O Lord and let your enemies be scattered, and let those that hate you flee before your most Holy Face.”
“O Mary, Comforter of the afflicted, pray for us.”
“St. Joseph, patron of the dying, prayer for us.”
UPDATE: 3 July. At 5:59 PM I received notice that Paul has died. Thank you, everyone, for your prayers.

“Eternal God, In Whom Mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion is inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase Your Mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your Holy Will which is Love and Mercy itself”

“Go forth, Christian soul, from this world
in the name of God the almighty Father,
who created you,
in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God,
who suffered for you,
in the name of the Holy Spirit,
who was poured out upon you.
Go forth, faithful Christian!
May you live in peace this day,
may your home be with God in Zion,
with Mary, the virgin Mother of God,
with Joseph, and all the angels and saints. . . .
May you return to [your Creator]
who formed you from the dust of the earth.
May holy Mary, the angels, and all the saints
come to meet you as you go forth from this life. . . .
May you see your Redeemer face to face.”

For Paul…
DE PROFUNDIS
Every Sacrament
I could…
Immersed my soul
In graces, good.
Every penance
That I uttered
In fear and trepidation
Shuddered.
Every child
I birthed in pain,
I offered Him
So souls would gain.
And now, my soul,
In night, won’t cease,
For you, my prayers…
De Profundis.

[He] shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary [him], nor the years condemn.
At the going down of sun and in the morning, we shall remember [him].

Thank you for posting about Paul, Terry.
This life is passing, we are not home yet.
