Please pray for the repose of the soul of Brother Warren Abel, CFX of the Brother of St. Francis Xavier (Xaverian Brothers). He passed yesterday afternoon at the Brother’s home in Massachusetts.

Brother Warren served Xaverian High School (Brooklyn, NY) for over 40 years of dedicated service including Principal.

In case you dont know about the Brother of St. Francis Xavier (Xaverian Brothers), they are
a congregation of lay religious, founded by Theodore James Ryken (Brother Francis Xavier) in Bruges, Belgium, in 1839, for the education of youth, especially in America.

In the US, they sponsor a network of Roman Catholic secondary schools who share a common mission and a similar governance structure. Most of the Xaverian Brothers Sponsored Schools trace their origin directly to the Congregation of the Brothers of St. Francis Xavier (Xaverian Brothers) and its mission of evangelization through the ministry of education. Other XBSS schools have come to embrace the Xaverian governance model and mission after a history of association with other religious congregations or dioceses. Each school, however, has its own particular identity, history and tradition and incarnates its mission in unique ways
 
Heavenly Father we praise and thank You for Brother Warren’s life, and ask that You will grant all his prayers that were according to Your holy will, bring his good works to completion, bless his family and community, and welcome him into Your mercy.
 
Eternal rest grant unto Bro. Warren, O Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon him
May he rest in peace
AMEN
 
Remembering the repose of Br. Abel’s soul in my daily prayers. May the Lord grant comfort to the family and friends who grieve for him. God bless :console:
 
Eternal rest grant unto Brother Warren, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon him
may he rest in peace.
AMEN
 
Eternal rest grant unto Brother Warren, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon him
may he rest in peace.
AMEN
 
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for Bro. Warrens family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen
