Prayers for Dying Non-Catholics

♱ Prayer Card to Assist Dying Non-Catholics

Is it true that nothing can be done for the dying man if he is not a Catholic, nor wishes to become one? Although many people may ascribe to this believe, it is not the voice of our Heavenly Father, who desires the salvation of all people. The truth is that, much can be done for a non-Catholic at the hour of his death. This Prayer Card makes an attempt to prepare a non Catholic for a happy death, by placing in his hands the acts sufficient for his salvation. (Msgr. Raphael Markham, Apostolate to Assist Dying Non-Catholics)

The prayers are designed to have no overt appearance of Catholicity, should that be a barrier to his participation. The prayers should ideally be said by the dying person, but If the patient is too weak, or resistant, they can be read to him or for him.

Also, you can assist the dying person with your earnest prayers to God, that in His mercy He may grant the dying patient the efficacious grace of perfect contrition, so that he dies a happy death and succeeds in gaining Heaven!

May God bless your assistance in this most urgent need!
