... anguish of dying Christians who have been negligent during life about the duties of religion

[@sissybrooks8588]

As a hospice nurse, I can vouch for this. I once watched a man who had repented from being a horrible, abusive father, and was even anointed. He took an entire week of struggle in a semi-comtose state. I believe he was being purged, somehow, because I am told he was very contrite, and his kids even forgave him.

[@cynthiamayher8736]

I was a hospice chaplain for 12 years. God's mercy was present in those who were lingering and struggling. Those with no faith or understanding wished death would come, but I saw God working to save their souls.

[@sissybrooks8588]

@@cynthiamayher8736 our hospice chaplain rebuked me, once, when I made that comment. He said we make the choice long before we go comatose. I disagree with that. I have known people to come out of a coma and start struggling. I knew of a lady, unfortunately I wasn't there, who sat up out of a deep coma, screaming for help. Her family was beside herself, but by the time I got there in the morning as a matter of routine, she had died en route. I wish they would have called me sooner, because they could not calm her down. I would have told her to call the name of Jesus. I have done that- whispered in their ear, as they were struggling their last. And, of course, then is the best time to pray for them. I always ask for a visitation. Who would make the right choice if God himself came and showed Himself?

[@cynthiamayher8736]

@@sissybrooks8588 that chaplain was wrong. God continues to work with a soul until death. Those in coma are still alive. They hear, feel, think. We know that, science has proven it. There is an entire field of coma work. We must pray for the souls of the dying.

Someone needs to explain the line somewhere in the 7th minute where he quotes Saint Alphonsus as saying something like "the sorrow of the worldling at the moment before death is as useless as the repentance of the damned." This seems wrong. As long as there is breath in the body and the sorrow is sincere then the Divine Mercy will do the rest.

Perhaps the use of the word "worldling" denotes a lack of any actual repentance, not even fear of just punishment.

I appreciate the sentiment, that one should live every day as if it was The Day of Judgement, but this sermon comes off more as a counsel of despair than one of conversion. The idea that men are faced with the thought that at their death ".."it will be impossible to settle these accounts such as to save our souls" suggests that by our own actions we CAN save our souls, and seems to trivialize the Infinite Divine Love and Mercy, and the possibility of Salvation that comes from sincere belief in Jesus Christ as The Way, The Truth and The Life.

Isn’t He the owner of everything yet He suffered at the hands of His own creatures? I suggest you count your blessings and beg for God to give you the graces to bear your cross!
