Rest in Peace
Eternal rest grant unto Barry, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Prayer for the Grieving
Father of all mercies and God of consolation, You love
us eternally and transform the shadows of death into
the dawn of life. Look upon our grief; be our refuge and
comfort so that our sadness and sorrow may turn into
the light and peace of Your Presence. In dying, Your Son
destroyed death; in rising, He restored life. Grant that at
the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may be found in His
company with our brothers and sisters. There, You shall
wipe away every tear. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
