Very Special Commentary – How To Save A Dying Atheist (Or A Non-Believer Or Lukewarm Christian) – By A Soul – MaryRefugeOfSouls
September 17, 2023
Month of Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows
Blessings beloved ones,
God desires me, “A Soul”, to share a story with you all about a recent death of an avowed atheist who was saved from hell. This is because God wants to extend these similar blessings and graces to other dying souls, especially those who are atheists or nonbelievers, or even lukewarm Christians, etc. So, with permission from his family, I am going to tell you about the deathbed conversion of Michael and how God worked a miracle to save him; and how you can say these similar prayers to help save those whom you love from going to hell.
Michael had grown-up in a very devout Catholic family, attending traditional Catholic schools. However, later in adulthood, he became an atheist. So, it had been many decades since he had stepped inside any church since abandoning any belief in God. Now, he was in his 80s and dying in a secular hospice, having signed the papers for no bedside chaplain. He was in a semi-coma like dying state, having taken a turn for the worse on a Friday afternoon. So, the extended family was called, so they could pay their last respects before he passed.
Michael’s niece, “T.D.”, is one of my dearest friends and one of my prayer partners. As I had advised her, T.D. did a “love gram” ahead of time for her sick uncle.
What is a love gram? A love gram is a one time prayer only, said out loud to God, for the salvation of our loved ones, intended for the moment of their death. It is like reading a heartfelt letter to your loved one and asking God to deliver it supernaturally at the appropriate time. It should not be repeated, otherwise, you are giving God multiple love grams to deliver and that does not work. Love grams are a type of prayer for salvation, but they are unique in that you only do it once and you ask God to be the mailman to deliver it spiritually to the other person.
Basically, to do a love gram, you should start with a heartfelt prayer for the person’s welfare. Then speak out loud about all the things that you want him to know — as if the person were really in front of you — looking at and listening to you at that moment of time to help in his conversion. You should conclude the love gram with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God, asking Him to deliver your love gram at an appropriate time, whenever the person is dying, at his moment of death.
So, T.D. had prepared a love gram knowing that her uncle would be passing soon, as he was severely ill and in decline health wise. When T.D. and her parents arrived at the hospice, they were very distraught. Her mother was distraught knowing that her brother was dying lacking any faith in God; whereas, my dear friend, T.D., was distraught because she knew that her uncle was going to face the finale battle with satan in his dying state, which she knew would be very fierce over his soul.
Both T.D. and her mother prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet over Michael. Her father spent a lot of time talking to him, as both her parents reminisced a lot to him. Her mother kept telling Michael about God loving him, and that their parents were waiting in Heaven for him. And they all knew that Michael was aware of them and could hear them, because he would occasionally squeeze his hand, being responsive to some of their loving words.
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, once I, “A Soul”, heard about Michael’s predicament, I set to work with a mutual dear friend and prayer partner, “K.E.” On the phone, we prayed for Michael. We prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet and in the middle of the prayer, the Holy Spirit indicated to me that we needed to pray to Saint Joseph and the Chaplet of Saint Michael Archangel. So, K.E. and I prayed both the 1,900 Year Old Prayer to Saint Joseph and Chaplet of Saint Michael on behalf of dying Michael (T.D.’s uncle).
However, as we were praying the Chaplet of Saint Michael, the Holy Spirit inspired me to add a particularly special intention on behalf of T.D.’s uncle. Here are the words I said:
“Jesus, on behalf of T.D.’s uncle, I ask that a holy angel from each of the Nine Angelic Choirs be sent to reinforce his guardian angel who is battle-weary from combating satan. May Your Most Precious Blood cover and protect T.D.’s uncle. Jesus, I also ask that Saint Joseph be sent to be with T.D.’s uncle, so that he is not afraid of dying. I ask that Saint Joseph hold the hand of T.D.’s uncle so that he knows that he has a friend from Heaven who will help him transition over into the afterlife. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.”
Finally, my dear friend, K.E., and I prayed another Divine Mercy Chaplet and K.E. added the intention, asking that Saint Maria Faustina Kowalski be present to help any dying souls that day and night, including T.D.’s uncle, Michael.
Then, I, “A Soul”, hung up the phone, satisfied that we had done all the prayers that we could do on behalf of dying Michael.
Beloved ones, what happened next was astonishing…
Immediately, I heard the holy angels say, “we got this one”, and I could tell that the holy angels were giving “high five” congratulation signs to each other, like they had caught a “big fish”.
Immediately, within my soul, I could sense Jesus absolutely smiling, grinning ear to ear, over what was taking place. In my soul, I perceived Jesus was so happy, as I felt Him overjoyed over this soul being saved.
I was told that Saint Joseph had been sent and he was holding the hand of T.D.’s uncle. I was also told that Saint Faustina was also present, but off to the side inside Michael’s hospice room.
Finally, Heaven told me that they were “celebrating” over what was taking place.
I was stunned.
Because it was late Friday night, I kept what Heaven had told me private to myself. Meanwhile, another remarkable thing happened.
The next day, Saturday morning, when her parents left the hospice room to get coffee, T.D. seized the opportunity of having a few private minutes with her dying uncle. T.D. grabbed his hand and started talking to Michael about Jesus, and everything He had done for her and her son after her husband died. T.D. also began to tell her uncle about all the things that she had shared in the love gram that she had prayed earlier for him to be delivered by God.
Beloved ones, despite his almost coma like dying state, T.D.’s uncle immediately began to respond. He kept trying to open his mouth and was firmly squeezing her hand, as well as doing other physical movements that suggested like he was trying to communicate with her. Witnessing this reaction from her dying uncle, T.D. knew these were positive signs that her uncle was going to be alright. T.D. also shared this with her mother, who had great solace regarding her brother.
Later, my dear friend, K.E., was able to talk with T.D. to tell her about our Friday night prayers. And in particular, T.D.’s mother took special comfort in realizing that Saint Joseph was holding the hand of her dying brother, Michael. It especially consoled her knowing this, because they were not permitted by the hospice to call a chaplain due to the papers signed by Michael.
In the ensuing days, another remarkable thing happened. As I was praying for Michael’s soul, I was permitted to hear from him about his particular judgment with Jesus and the events surrounding his death. He confirmed his bedside conversion from staunch atheism.
Here are the notes from my conversation with T.D.’s uncle, Michael, that his family is graciously allowing me to share you all on this blog, MaryRefugeOfSouls:
I hear that Michael is in Purgatory.
He thanked me and everyone for their prayers, as they snatched him out of going to hell.
He especially thanks me for asking for St Joseph to comfort him at his bedside.
He felt someone grab his hand. It felt very soft and gentle and he knew it was a being of Heaven. He felt love. He felt the warmth of God.
The being said,
“I am St Joseph. I am of Heaven and I am the foster father (dad) of Jesus. I have come to escort you home.”
(Note, the more affectionate term “dad” was actually used, but Michael intuitively and instantly understood and recognized that it was St Joseph the foster father of Jesus and not Papa God or any other being of Heaven).
Michael then continued to speak to me. At that moment, he saw great light radiate outwards from the vicinity of the being. He did not see St Joseph — his holy appearance was too intense for the darkness of his soul — but St Joseph was comforting him by his presence and his radiance was scattering the darkness and demons away.
He could relax, because fear had been gripping him with knowledge of his impending death. But having St Joseph hold his hand to help him transition over to the afterlife “healed” him from any doubts, fears, and worries he was experiencing. Because he understood no matter what satan did in his final battle of temptation, St Joseph would never let go of his hand. He understood it and had great peace not being alone in his transition over to the afterlife.
“God Is allowing me to speak from Purgatory, because He wants this precious gift to be given to others who are deeply afraid at their darkest moment — their dying breath.”
“By petitioning St Joseph or Blessed Mother Mary to come ahead of time and hold the hand of the dying soul is a very powerful grace. When St Joseph grabbed my hand, I had vivid confirmation before dying that Heaven is real and that I had to make an eternal choice for God or not. I chose God.”
“Peace be with you, “A Soul”. I love and miss my family all very much. (starting to cry). But I am grateful that I will spend eternity with God.”
“Please remember and pray for me. I love you all… (voice fading while in tears).”
Michael leaves.
* * *
Beloved ones, in the subsequent days, I have learned that on the Friday night, after Saint Joseph took Michael’s hand and scattered away all the darkness with his radiance, that God shared supernaturally the love gram of T.D. with her dying uncle. So, at that moment, he could have the reassurance of God’s Love for him and that he was welcome to be a part of God’s Kingdom despite all the years that he had been away from belief in God. It was the turning point of his bedside conversion; and it was the reason why he was so eager to try to communicate with T.D., despite the challenges of his semi-coma like dying state.
Beloved ones, I must tell you all that I have continued to pray the Chaplet of Saint Michael with the added special intention, asking that additional holy angels be sent to help the guardian angel of any dying souls against satan’s last temptations AND asking that Saint Joseph hold the hand of any dying souls to help them transition over into the afterlife.
I am so pleased to reveal to you all that Heaven has been answering this special prayer. In fact, one time, I did these special prayers with my prayer partners and after I hung up the phone, the Lord gave me an “auditory” vision. For five minutes, I kept hearing constantly all the holy angels being sent forth to the bedside of dying souls and all the dying souls that were accepting the hand of Saint Joseph.
It was incredible. There were countless dying souls welcoming Saint Joseph’s holy presence. It was beautiful to witness and would make you cry hearing them.
Truly, Saint Joseph is the “Terror of demons” and the Patron of all dying souls.
Beloved ones, the two greatest vice like grips that satan has over dying souls are ignorance and fear. However, when you intercede, asking for a being of Heaven to hold the hand of a dying soul so he does not have to be afraid and he can have a supernatural friend help him to transition over to the afterlife, it is an INSTANT WIN for Heaven. Because the dying soul is getting vivid confirmation and immediate clarity BEFORE DEATH that HEAVEN IS REAL and the soul has SUPERNATURAL HELP against all the last temptations of satan. The dying soul knows that NO MATTER WHAT happens that the being of Heaven holding his hand will NOT LET GO.
Asking for this special grace at the moment of death is a HUGE LOSS for hell.
Truly, I hope that you all are encouraged to do love grams for all your loved ones, which will be supernaturally delivered by God whenever they are dying — whether it be by sickness, accident, or any other type of demise.
And truly, I hope that you all are encouraged to do the 1,900 Year Old Prayer to Saint Joseph and the Chaplet of Saint Michael Archangel with the additional special intentions of asking for holy angelic reinforcements for the dying souls, as well as for a being of Heaven to be sent to hold the hands of all the dying souls.
You may pray for these special graces for specific individuals, as well as generally, for all the dying souls of that day and night. You may petition for a specific being of Heaven, like Saint Joseph, Blessed Mother Mary, a Patron Saint, etc., or even a relative or loved one who is with God, to hold their hand. Or, Jesus has told me, if the dying person is not Catholic or does not know anything about Christianity, the dying soul will at least have the hand of his guardian angel to hold so the person knows of God and His Love and will choose Heaven.
Beloved ones, these special graces that I have just shared are HUGE. Of the same magnitude as the Divine Mercy Chaplet for saving souls on their deathbed.
Please share knowledge of these special blessings of God with as many people as possible and please take advantage of them for your loved ones and anyone who may be dying.
Finally, I humbly ask for a single Hail Mary prayer for dear Michael, a poor soul in Purgatory. May dear Michael, whose middle name is Joseph, rest in peace. God bless his family and God bless you, my beloved followers of MaryRefugeOfSouls.
I love you,
A Soul
Footnote: Whenever possible, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick (otherwise known as, Last Rites), said by a priest, should be sought for those who are dying, because the Sacrament imparts the best graces for those fighting against satan in their dying moments. However, here the soul refused the Last Rites before he slipped into his dying state and the family member in charge felt that she could not override his written objections. So, in this instance, these specific prayers for the dying became a very useful tool and very powerful means to bring about a bedside conversion. Papa God and Jesus have told me, “A Soul”, that They are very happy to hear the faithful pray these specific prayers and special intentions for their dying loved ones, as well as generally, for those dying in solitude and in seemingly hopeless situations over their salvation. Amen.

Note: If needed, you can periodically update a past prepared love gram for a loved one by asking God for the change. You can also do a love gram for groups of people, such as classmates, co-workers, neighbors, etc. You can also do love grams to be delivered at a person’s life review at the moment of the Great Warning (Illumination of Conscience). Amen.
PRAYERS FOR THE DYING:
SPECIAL INTENTION:
JESUS, on behalf of the dying souls this day and night, I ask that a holy angel from each of the Nine Angelic Choirs be sent to reinforce their guardian angels who are battle-weary from combating satan. JESUS, I also ask that Saint Joseph, the Blessed Mother Mary, or a holy being of Heaven be sent to be with the dying souls, so that they are no longer afraid of dying or ignorant of their eternal salvation. I ask that the chosen being of Heaven hold the hands of the dying souls so that they know that they have a friend from Heaven who will help them transition over into the afterlife. Thank you, JESUS, for covering and protecting them in Your Most Precious Blood. I love You and I trust in You. Amen.
1,900 YEAR OLD PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH
O St Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord; so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. O St Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
CHAPLET OF SAINT MICHAEL ARCHANGEL
The history of this Chaplet goes back to a devout Servant of God, Antonia d’Astonac, who had a vision of St Michael. He told Antonia to honor him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. St Michael promised that whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for those who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life, and after death deliverance from purgatory for themselves and their relations.
Make a sincere Act of Contrition:
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
Main Prayers:
O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, etc.
[Say one Our Father and three Hail Marys after each of the following nine salutations in honor of the nine Choirs of Angels]
(1) By the intercession of St Michael and the celestial Choir of Seraphim may the Lord make us worthy to burn with the fire of perfect charity. Amen.

Pray for us, O glorious St Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.

This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY
(Using ordinary Rosary beads)
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, has said to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalski in her holy Diary:
‘Say unceasingly this Chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to those who trust in My Mercy… . ‘
‘… . When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just judge but as the Merciful Savior’.
(1) Sign of the Cross
(2) One “Our Father”
(3) One “Hail Mary”
(4) One Apostles’ Creed
(5) On the “Our Father” beads, the following prayer is recited:
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Thy Most Beloved Son and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world.
(6) On the “Hail Mary” beads, the following prayer is recited:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
(7) In between each decade, the following prayer is recited:
O Blood and Water which spurt out from the Sacred Heart of Jesus as a never ending source of mercy for us, we pray to you.
(8) After the fifth decade is achieved, the following prayer is prayed three times:
“O Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
(9) The Chaplet is concluded with the Sign of the Cross.
