The news is reporting that Ruth Graham, wife of the Rev. Dr. Billy Graham, is near death.

All Christians alive today -- whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant -- and all men and women of good will owe a tremendous debt of gratitude toward Dr. Graham and his family.

I pray that Mrs. Graham know the love, peace, and strength of our Lord Jesus Christ at this time; that her family and friends be strengthened at her approaching Homecoming; and that all persons be able to look at her life as a life to be cherished -- and emulated.

May the angels surround you, Mrs. Graham, and lead you to Glory!

David,

I agree,.. Bless this woman's life Precious Holy Spirit, Mother of God. Blessed Virgin, be her advocate with the Father and Son that she may know your presence. Show unto her your Glory and comfort those around her that she will be received with the Saints and Angels.

As we know he will be, comfort the Rev Billy Graham during this time of his beloved partners passing and let us all celebrate the life of this wonderful supporter of our Lord Jesus Christ!


In Him

Her life has been such an example to me so many ways: standing by her husband, staying at home and raising the children as he has traveled the world in ministry, her persistence in prayer when her children have veered off the path...she is truly a woman of God.

Dear Lord Jesus,
You who knew the blessing of having the best Mother of all...bless dear Mrs. Graham with your presence...and usher her from this life into the next, surrounding her with your grace and peace. May Your strength uphold her husband, family, and friends...

According to this evening's news, Mrs. Graham has, indeed, gone to her eternal reward.

May her soul -- and the soul of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

May your perpetual light shine upon her, oh God.
