Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you're homebound. Oh, sure, you have family, but everyone has a busy life, right? So what do you do all day? Well, you're homebound so you have obvious physical limitations. You are alone, almost always~ that is unless your lucky enough to have a spouse to take care of you or a Eucharistic Minister to come see you once a week.
You're forgotten.
This will never happen to you, right?
How do you know?
Help us visit the sick and lonely and remind them that God loves them too! Come with us and pray the chaplet, help us combat despair and despondency.
"Pray as much as you can for the dying. By your entreaties [that is, insistent prayers] obtain for them trust in My mercy, because they have most need of trust, and have it the least. Be assured that the grace of eternal salvation for certain souls in their final moment depends on your prayer. You know the whole abyss of My mercy, so draw upon it for yourself and especially for poor sinners. Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My mercy not embrace a trusting soul" (Diary, 1777).
