I asked several times for prayers for a friend and archconfrere in Rome, Giancarlo. He suffered from the complications of a terrible congenital malady of the liver.
Giancarlo passed away a few minutes ago.
He had received the last rites. He had his brown scapular on. Members of the Archconfraternity of Ss. Trinità were present as was one of the priests of the parish. He died, “nelle braccia di Jacopo… in James’ arms”.
Two hours ago, he sent a message to us members of the Archconfraternity via WhatsApp:
“Affido le mie preghiere a San Giancarlo Cornay di cui ricorre oggi il die natalis … I entrust my prayers to St. Giancarlo Cornay, whose “anniversary of death” is today.”
I now ask for your prayers for his eternal rest.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
Consider, reader, as you pass by this page, your own inevitable death.
Humble yourself before the loving Sacred Heart of Jesus. Examine your conscience.
GO TO CONFESSION!

Thank you for sharing. Eternal Rest.
There are no coincidences with God.
We will remember him in our family rosary.
Prayers for the repose of his soul, Father. May my own passing into eternity be so well-provided for!
My prayers for Giancarlo.
So sorry to hear of the death of Giancarlo, your friend. You often mentioned him in your blog. RIP.
I’m sorry to read of this.
I prayed for him daily as you requested.
Yes certainly we will pray for your friend Giancarlo. We’re sorry for your loss, Fr. Z.
My condolences for the loss of your friend, Fr. Z. May the many prayers that accompanied him through his sufferings now fly him directly into the house of the Father.
