Pray for a Dying Priest

I ask readers to pray tonight for Fr Norman Wrigley of the Archdiocese of Westminster, the holy, kind, gentle, and very much-loved Priest of the Archdiocese who so exuded charity, love for Christ and His Church, and his brethren, as well as a rare sincerity and simplicity of heart and manner that I decided I wanted to become a Catholic more or less immediately.

I have tonight heard that he is dying. May the Lord Jesus strengthen his servant and Our Blessed Lady intercede for him before the Throne of her Divine Son. May he receive the crown of life everlasting.

Pray for him.

Update: Please pray for the repose of the soul of Fr Norman Wrigley. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

  1. A
    PRIEST’S
    HANDS

    Your hand I'd kiss
    But not for this
    The mundane games
    Men play.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    For doing this
    Absolve my sins
    Away.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    But not for this
    That any man
    Can do.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    For doing this
    God's strong, His choice
    The few.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    But not for this
    Like any
    Virile male.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    For doing this
    Place Him between
    Lips pale.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    But not for this
    Your strength
    Exudes each pore.

    Your hand I'd kiss
    An alter Christus -
    Your prayers
    I do implore.

    SACERDOS!!

  2. If we die in the Faith: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4

    I hope he had a 'traditionally' faithful funeral rite. And that Masses by traditional priests are offered for him. The rest...is silence.

  3. God rest his soul. I have prayed for him, Bones, and will continue to do so.

    May I prayerfully and heartily recommend the Rorate Caeli Purgatorial Society to your readership?
