Joe Sobran left this earth today just before 3 p.m. Over this past week, a multitude of prayers were offered for him his recovery. Now that he is on the other side, I am sure that he is aware of your prayers and kindnesses and is most grateful for them. While he didn't have a physical recovery, I believe that the many prayers brought him spiritual healing. There was a great calmness to his demeanor. Over the past few weeks, but particularly the past few days, he was resigned and looking forward to the next life.

He was very peaceful today and the two people with him at the moment of his death did not immediately notice that he had stopped breathing. He just slipped away quietly.

There will be a wake on Monday, October 4, and funeral Mass on Tuesday, October 5, in northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. Details are below. You are most welcome to attend.

Eternal rest grant unto Joe Sobran, O Lord. May perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
