I remember you. You were a friend to me. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I shall pray for you and your family, and of course, your Beloved Wife.
God of healing,
God of wholeness,
we bring our brokenness
our sinfulness
our fears
and despair
and lay them at your feet.
God of healing,
God of wholeness,
we reach out
hearts and hands
minds and souls
to feel your touch
and know the peace
that only you can bring.
God of healing,
God of wholeness,
in your presence
and power
grant us faith
and confidence
that here broken lives
are made whole.
and
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
like a great peat fire,
so that strangers and friends may come
and warm themselves at it.
And may light shine out of the two eyes of you,
like a candle set in the window of a house,
bidding the wanderer come in out of the storm.
And may the blessing of the rain be on you,
may it beat upon your Spirit
and wash it fair and clean,
and leave there a shining pool
where the blue of Heaven glows down,
where once there shone a blessed guiding Star.
And may the blessing of the earth be on you,
soft under your feet as you pass along the roads,
soft under you as you lie upon it,
tired at the end of day;
and may it rest easy over you
when, at last, you time comes.
May it rest so lightly over you
that your soul may be out
from under it quickly;
up and off and on its way to Heaven,
into the arms of your Loved One, and God.
And now may the Holy Spirit bless you,
and bless you kindly indeed.
