Len and Wendy are dying. How do I help? How do I help their loved ones? Deep sadness, and I'm only a friend, even a distant one for Wendy. This reminds me of seeing the pain of the world in the Virgin of Vladimir's eyes. Joining in the pain of the world, in our interdependence.
Seeking help, I went to google and sought prayers for the dying. I was surprised to find some prayers that comforted me
here. Let us pray.
Loving Spirit of God, have mercy on the dying
- Those dying in pain and suffering
- Those dying in fear and loneliness
- Those dying from hunger and a lack of physical resources
- Those dying violent deaths
- Those dying without any knowledge of your infinite tenderness and compassion.
Bring to all a sense of your presence.Guard them as the apple of your eye. Shelter them in the shadow of your wings and enfold them in your presence. This we ask through Christ our Lord, Amen.
