From AnneAbdy at aol.com Sun Mar 2 14:55:12 2008 From: AnneAbdy at aol.com (AnneAbdy@aol.com) Date: Sun Mar 2 14:57:04 2008 Subject: [Cursillo] Update on Jennings Ruffing Message-ID: Dear all: As many of you know Jennings Ruffing in Medford is dying. His wife, Becky was my Rectora when I was Vice-Rectora. I was able to free up Saturday and drove to Medford with the hopes of visiting with him early afternoon. He was sleeping so I thought it best not to wake him. I spent about 1 1/2 hours in prayer vigil for him while I sat and said prayers, wrote him a note, wept, and said my "goodbyes." I have been told that he's not eating much now, sleeps most of the time and his medication pretty much "knocks him out." [my words] He had a full day yesterday (Friday) with a group from church singing to him. All-in-all, he looked very peaceful. For those of you who know the Jennings, the prayer I prayed: O Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, who for our sakes didst become a babe in Bethlehem: We commend unto thy loving care this servant whom thou art calling to thyself. Send thy holy angel to lead him gently to those heavenly habitations where the souls of them that sleep in thee have perpetual peace and joy, and fold him in the everlasting arms of thine unfailing love: who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen. (BCP, South Africa, p. 469) Continue to ask God to shower his family and Becky with his grace at this time. Anne **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
