With no more religion about her than that of an impious lunatic, she would utter at times such disgusting language and such horrid blasphemies ...Seems I should of had the St. Benedict medal in regards to my mother (she died in August of 08), but the Miraculous Medal worked a bit of a miracle as well. "Murph," an LLL (life-long Lutheran) had a certain hatred for the Catholic Church as long as I can remember, but when I converted, it was indeed more pronounced. Anyway, I had miraculous medals and the brown scapular on her bed and side table (my siblings weren't real thrilled with this), and days before her death she allowed a Catholic priest my husband and I hailed (a Catholic Church was *coincidentally* no more than a few yards away from the tiny hospital she was in) to bless her with oils. I'm not sure what impact that had, but a day or so later (hours before she died), she agonizingly rolled over in her bed, looked at me and smiled, while she "mouthed" (she was on a ventilator) the words "I love you, too" to me ... (for the very first time ever).
WOW THATS AMAZING! THE OIL PUT ON ON AN ACT OF FAITH THEN SHE IS FORGIVEN TOTALLY!“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven” (James 5:14-15, NKJV).
