Chaplet of Divine Mercy for Rosie Grimm (‘10)
We have hard news about Rosie. After going to the hospital, Rosie had several MRIs, which indicate that the tumor has grown aggressively throughout her body in the last few months. As I understand it, it is up and down her spine, and I believe in other places as well. Because of this the doctor thinks it highly unlikely that chemotherapy will be effective, and Rosie (and all of us) should prepare ourselves for the worst. The first doctor has estimated that Rosie may die in as little as two weeks.
Since we heard the news all my siblings have been returning home, and I hope we will soon all be together. Rosie will hopefully be coming home today and a nurse will be caring for her in our house rather than a hospital. She’s also continuing some treatment in the hope that things may be more positive than they seem. Rosie has been incredibly strong these last two years, and even now, when she is in almost constant pain, she’s still thinking about others. Please offer up your prayers for her that whatever the outcome she will not suffer and be able to remain as comfortable as possible in the next few weeks. My brother Bill and sister-in-law Margaret are expecting their baby (Rosie’s godson) at the end of the month, and I know Rosie deeply wants to see him. Thank you all so much for your prayers and please continue with them! I have no doubt that a huge source of Rosie’s strength has arisen from the constant prayer of so many friends and family members. God Bless You.
Friends across the country prayed a Chaplet of Divine Mercy for Rosie on Sunday at 3 p.m., the Hour of Mercy. Her family asks that we continue to pray this devotion, particularly during the 3 p.m. hour:
Our Lord told St. Faustina that “At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the indulgence is the same” (Diary, 811).
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor grow despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is love and mercy itself. Amen.
Our Father
Hail Mary
Apostles’ Creed
On the big beads of a Rosary:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and for those of the whole world.
On the small beads:
For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
At the end:
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
