Solace

 Lord have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us home to you on our last day in your great mercy.

Lord have mercy on him, forgive him his sins and bring him home to you in your mercy.

Lord have mercy on her, forgive her her sins and bring her home to you in your mercy.

A prayer the Lord gave me to say for the salvation of souls. It can be recited for a man or woman who is dying or has died, alone and forsaken. There are untold millions who will die unknown and unaided. We can change the way such people pass from life, with peace and dignity. Especially people who have died in times of war and violence or disasters. The crescendo of violence grows with each passing day, relating the warnings given us to reform and repent, to return to the truth God has told us. A moment is coming when everything will be loosed, and earth will lay down the mighty and the weak, the helpless and defenseless, for God will be the only safety and refuge.

The effort to draw close to God by focusing our thoughts on Jesus and on His people will be rewarded greatly, contributing to peace on our last day. We have the opportunity now and should not turn away from Him during our day, but offering to appreciate His intercession.

Remember that intercession means to take someone's place and spare them the trial. He who turns his attention to Jesus in an idle moment will not be punished for it.
