    Almighty and Everlasting God, preserver of souls, who dost correct those whom Thou dost love, and for their betterment dost tenderly chastise those whom Thou dost receive, we call upon Thee, O Lord, to grant Thy healing, that the soul of Thy servant, at the hour of its departure from the body, may by the hands of Thy holy Angels be presented without spot unto Thee. Amen.

  2. The Ordo Commendationis Animae has been prayed for Fr. Neuahus.

    Go forth, O Christian soul, out of this world, in the Name of God the Father almighty, Who created you; in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, Who suffered for you; in the Name of the Holy Ghost, Who sanctified you…

    May this holy priest, our Blessed Lord’s will being done, soon hear from his Master, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

    I hope that he does not “SOON hear” those words.

  6. St Joseph, patron of a Happy Death, Patron of foster fathers and Priests. We implore your prayers to join with ours, and Fr. Neuhaus, at this final hour in his life. We Ask this through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You Father and the Holy Spirit, God, For ever and ever. Amen

  12. We will always be grateful for Fr. Neuhaus’ faithful service to our beloved faith. His commentary when Pope Benedict visited the USA in April endures as a witness of Fr. Richard’s gift for humily, humor, and his brilliant contributions in turning the mystery of love into words the ordinary man yearns for. Under the mercy, Dave Dowd

  13. I hope my prayer intention is a little more clear:
