Goodbye Terri Schiavo
Family, Life, and the Body March 31st, 2005I must sadly report that Terri Schiavo has died. Today our country has witnessed and even legally facilitated the death of an innocent woman. This is truly a dark day. May God have mercy on her soul and and be with her family May God have mercy upon us.
Into your hands, O Lord
we humbly entrust our sister Theresa Marie Schiavo.
In this life you embraced her with your tender love;
deliver her now from every evil
and bid her enter eternal rest.
The old order has passed away:
welcome her then into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
for ever and ever. Amen.
Prayer from Fr. Pat’s Place

delicat,
It sure is. I’m still in shock and can hardly believe it. Also, thanks for your prayers and thoughts for the Pope. This is a rough time for him right now too and it’s great to hear of your thoughtfulness and kindness.

It was quite a shocking day. First I found that she had passed, then I found that the “Last Rites” had been given to the Pope, then there was some other stuff around here (local news) that had me quite sad. Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news to all.

Terri showed a tremendous will to live. I hope that the US is not on the road to legalized euthanasia.
