Prayers of Cardinal Newman

May Our Lord, support us all the day long
until the shades lengthen and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.
Then, Lord, in thy mercy,
grant us a safe lodging,
a holy rest, and peace everlasting.

Complete Thy work, O Lord,
and as Thou hast loved me from the beginning
so make me to love Thee unto the end.

Amen
 
Oh Father, please have mercy on us all but specially those who have gone before us to be with you and again most specially those dear to us. Please give us the assurance of knowing they are at peace with you. In Jesus’ name in union with the Holu Spirit, Amen.

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 these mentioned here, especially the children.

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. :crossrc:

And may they rest in your peace

In Memory of My Brother William - KIA Vietnam-September 21, 1967

My Tribute to Bill which I wrote on the occasion of my first visit to the Vietnam Wall

**The Empty Tomb **

As I approach the wall in the early morning light, the sky is gently showering everything with dew. Here at the break of days new dawning, I come much like Mary to visit the empty tomb. I come not with spices, but with my heart wanting to speak to you once again. Today I come to meet with my brother, my best friend.

I know deep within me that we are still kindred in spirit, together and yet apart. We have shared the days of our childhood and we have felt the sting of death. Yet, for all of this, nothing can really ever separate us…not even a broken heart.

William…my sweet William, how I long to see you once again. Can you hear me? Do you see me as I search for your beloved name? Many years have passed since I last spoke with you and beheld your dear sweet face. Then, again, it seems like only yesterday that I stood beside your open grave. Brother, teacher, companion and friend…how the memories do ebb and flow. Can you see me? Do you hear me as I search for your beloved name?

Suddenly as though from a lighthouse…a tiny ray of sun seems to point out your beloved name. Billy…dearest brother, I know that you still watch over me. Can you feel the mist that is falling? Can you see how the dew drops look just like teardrops, as I caress your beloved name? I counted 16 teardrops falling…one for each letter and character in your name.

Do you remember bat-light, butterflies and fishing in the rain? Do you remember how you taught me to fish and then threw them all back into the lake once again? You said, “We should never waste God’s beauty or abuse the bounty of His land.” Do you fish the lakes of heaven, still teaching the little ones? Do you walk the fields with Jesus and…OH! Do you still sing slightly out of tune?

Here in the misty morning sunlight, I feel close to you once again. I can almost hear you singing…”Halleluiah! To Christ our King!” Best of all sweet William, it sounds perfectly in tune. William, my sweet William, it is time for me to go.

Billy dearest brother, I shall always love you so. I know now deep in my heart, that you are safe and well. Now not even 16 teardrops falling, can take away my joy for you. “ Vaya Con Dios,” until we meet again.

Very beautiful, very moving, precious memories. God blessed you with such heartfelt words to express your great love.
 
For several relatives of mine. None were Catholic.

Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine,
et lux perpétua lúceat eis.
Requiéscant in pace. Amen.
 
For my mother’s parents, who died when I was a baby.

For my father’s mother, who had Alzheimer’s and didn’t know us towards the end. She and I were especially close and I still miss her every day (she died in 1994).

For my father’s father, who passed away in 2006.

For various family members, friends and acquaintances who have left this world.

:bible1:
 
Father I pray for the souls of my two children baby Chris and baby Stephen.Please grant them eternal life with You in heaven.Please bless all the little souls of children who die by miscarriage,stillbirth,new born,or older.May us parents have strength of faith to know they are safe in heaven with You.
Grant eternal rest unto them O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon them,may they rest in peace Amen
