I 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
