I'm in hospital overnight it's looking like. I've been tired and having problems breathing; it turns out I've got two litres of fluid on my right lung. Once that's drained I should feel a lot better.
Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven, to enter into that gate and dwell in that house, where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light; no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession; no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity: in the habitations of thy majesty and glory, world without end.
I went over at 11 to see her. She was briefly awake, though not very comfortable (cat lying on her bladder!) but she knew me. Then a herd of people from church and elsewhere showed up, including her daughters, so I cleared out and will come back later, whenever her niece (who is staying the night) calls me and says I can come without adding to the stress. So there's that.
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones, and all for Your love's sake. Amen.
I want to see the brightness of God
I want to look at Jesus
Clear sun of righteousness, shine on my path
And show me the way to the Father
In Him, there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike
The Lamb is the light of the city of God
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.
Almighty God, our creator and redeemer,
you are our strength and our hope.
You have given us Rossweisse.
to know and to love in our pilgrimage on earth. Uphold us now as we entrust her,
to your boundless love and eternal care. Assure us that not even death
can separate us from your infinite mercy. Comfort us in our anguish,
that we may know your sure consolation
and live in confident hope of the resurrection; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayers from me, as well. I am kicking myself for not getting to know her. I always was fascinated by her "cool cucumber" demeanor, her fierceness, her wit...yet I was too scared by her Valkyrie-ness...
