There is no reason to pray for his soul because it was on a rocket sled to Hell the second he died. This monster chose to be evil and the world is a better place now that he is gone. I don't think that his murder was a good thing but asking God to have mercy on his soul? Did Catholics around the world pray for Adolph Hitler's soul in 1945? Or did they all give thanks that this evil man had left the world and shuddered at the thought of the Judgement that awaited him? There are so many sinful and imperfect people in this world that need prayers much more than Tiller. Use your energy to pray for these sinners so that they may change their ways and become good Christians.
Anonymous, I also shudder to think at the judgment that awaited George Tiller. Still, we do not know for sure that anyone is in hell, always hoping in the mercy of God, and the Catholic Church does not pronounce anyone to absolutely be in hell.

Quite possibly the very reasoning process used by his murderer.
Tiller the killer is dead.
Here's a quip you wouldn't have found on the lips of an apostle: "Judas the Brutus is dead."
Hollywood and the secular media have a long history of demonizing the pro-life movement on any pretext; prudence, not vitriol and lame rhymes are needed now. "Be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves."
I agree with "the Catholic Church does not pronounce anyone to absolutely be in hell." I'm glad you posted this to pray for his poor soul, because I sure there aren't many who will be. If God's mercy, saved him, he will have a long Purgatory. The lost of any soul is terrible. I hope before he died, he had a chance to realize what awaited him and begged for forgiveness.
My surprise in all of this was that an abortionist went to church. I thought they thought themselves to be God's unto themselves. We really can't judge.
Elizabeth, I was also surprised that he went to church. What does an abortionist pray for, I wonder? Thank God he wasn't receiving Holy Communion as he was not attending a Catholic Church.
Well, Anon, we don't know that Catholics didn't pray for the soul of Hitler, do we? We are not to judge, even a person who to us personified evil may have been granted the grace of final perseverance. I'm sure many Catholics prayed for his soul while he lived; why not continue after his death?
A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith.
And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

May God have mercy on Tiller's soul and on the soul that took his life.

Leave the monster cleanup to St. Peter.

You're not condoning this, are you? Your tone suggests otherwise. I agree, may God have mercy on his soul.

Dim Bulb, George Tiller was widely known as "Tiller the Killer", hence the use of that term in my post.

Anonymous i disagree with you. We can never plumb the depths of the Mercy of God. Let us not judge but pray.
