In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958
A Tribute and Celebration
We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

O God our Father, Creator of all the living,
we entrust to Your gentle care
all those we love who have gone before us;
and have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again. . . .
Eternal rest, grant unto Thomas Dollnig, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
Prayers for Our Friend Al
After the pet scan results in June, he began treatment with VERVOY. Earlier this month he reported great difficulties with side effects. This morning Al's daughter, Suzanne Trussell Ogstad, posted on his Facebook page that he is not doing well. The family is bringing him to Sheryl Shwetz's home (she is another daughter) for hospice care. They ask us to pray for his comfort and for the family.
Most precious Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, we place Al, our dear friend and brother, in your hands, praying for healing, peace and provision for his every need. May the God of All Comfort be present with him and his family and fill their hearts.
Remembering all of you, I add these special prayers for Al and everyone who is experiencing sorrows and illnesses, asking for the intercessions of the Blessed Mother.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
