Please remember Father J Austin Graff, who reposed in the Lord, Friday morning Nov 30. I knew Fr Graff from St Thomas More parish in the Wrightwood area of Chicago,and he was a real inspiration, who despite needing to use a walker, still genuflected up until he was bed ridden, and who heard confessions as late as last September. I was at Father Graff's 96th birthday party in July and he was telling me of all the parishes he had served at in Chicago during his 71 years as a Catholic priest. Please say a pray for Fr Charles Fanelli, Fr John Frawley and Fr Michael Flynn, who resided with Fr Graff and will greatly miss him. http://www.legacy.com/ChicagoSunTimes/DeathNotices.asp?Page=Notice&PersonID=98907956

Praised be God for faithful priests.
May the Lord recieve Fr. Austin into His Heavenly Kingdom,
regarding not his sins deliberate or indeliberate.

Christ our eternal King and God, You have destroyed death and the devil by Your Cross and have restored man to life by Your Resurrection; give rest, Lord, to the soul of Your servant Father J Austin Graff who has fallen asleep, in Your Kingdom, where there is no pain, sorrow or suffering. In Your goodness and love for all men, pardon all the sins he has committed in thought word or deed, for there is no man or woman who lives and sins not, You only are without sin.
For You are the Resurrection, the Life, and Repose of Your servant Father J Austin Graff, departed this life, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up glory with Your Eternal Father and Your All-holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit; both now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen

Christ, the true light, who enlightens and sanctifies every person coming into the world, let the light of Your countenance shine upon Fr Charles Fanelli, Fr John Frawley, and Fr Michael Flynn that I they may see Your unapproachable light; and guide their steps as they grieve the loss of their brother priest, and give them the grace of joy, through the intercessions of Your all-holy Mother and of all the Saints. Amen.

Thank you for sharing the great inspiration this priest was to you. I'll be thinking of him when I kneel down next!
Prayers for his brother priests and for the repose of his soul and for all who miss him
