Rest in Peace
Eternal rest grant unto Andrea’s aunt, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Prayer to the Blessed Mother in a Time of Bereavement
O sweet mother Mary, you knew the sadness
of mourning those your heart loved most: Jesus,
your Son, and Joseph, your devoted spouse.
Please pray for all affected in this time of loss.
Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the Dead
God our Father,
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
Andrea’s aunt and for all the dead. Amen.
