Thank you so much, Joe. Luke has been on our minds and in our prayers so much so that it's difficult to attend to our daily tasks. Your updates are so much appreciated!
Latest from Josie “He has always wanted to die on a first Saturday, or the Friday before. Perhaps Our Lady will honour his wish? Perhaps we can pray that he gets his wish...we will see”
Joe, it is priceless that you have learned these details and passed them on to us. Thank you very much.
Maybe we could all ask St. Margaret Mary Alacoque for her intercession that Our Lord will grant his request and take him this First Friday (Feb. 1). But all in God’s good time for He certainly knows best.
Feb 2 is also Candlemas also called the Presentation of Baby Jesus in the Temple also called the Purification of the Blessed Virgin. God Bless all of you.
Saying a Rosary for Josie. And of course for Luke. Please Mother Mary help them. You are Our Lady of Prompt Succour. Bring them comfort and consolation. St Micharl protect them.
Our Lady of Good Success (Feast: February 2) Hail Mary Most Holy, Beloved Daughter of God the Father , through the intercession of Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres, grant thy good success to this request (name request)...

I'm going to pray for the family's strength. They sure need it. If Luke's holding on, it's because he's having this last conversation with God. The last one in this earthly life. It cannot be rushed.
I hope my death is as holy as Mac’s. And how wonderful that there are so many of us across so many countries and continents uniting in prayer and holding vigil? Thanks to Padraig for bringing us all together through our Mother’s forum.
Mac sent this to me on Dec 13. Shows the largesse of his heart. “I just online ordered a new very large trampoline for the kids. One last large purchase for Christmas that will give years of enjoyment for them. I feel very pleased I could do this with the give a little page money. That page has made a vast difference to how things are left here financially . I'm so grateful for everyone's generosity.”
I sent the following to Mac on Dec 13. “Listen and let it penetrate your heart…do not be troubled or weighed down with grief. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?” Our Lady to St Juan Diego.
