Ash Wednesday

Hello,

My mother died unexpectedly early this morning. Please pray for her, and for our family. She was a model Catholic and generous in every way and I believe she's in a better place now.

Thanks.

Prayers for Mourners

Lord, God

you are attentive to the voice of our pleading.

Let us find in your Son comfort in our sadness,

certainty in our doubt,

and courage to live through this hour.

Make our faith strong through Christ our Lord.

R/. Amen.

Lord,

N. is gone now from this earthly dwelling,

and has left behind those who mourn his/her absence.

Grant that we may hold his/her memory dear,

never bitter for what we have lost

nor in regret for the past,

but always in hope of the eternal kingdom

where you will bring us together again.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R/. Amen.

As you probably know, Ash, I recently lost my grandmother. In fact, we buried her a week ago tomorrow. I know how painful the loss of a loved one can be, though I'm sure it's even more painful to lose a mother than it is to lose a grandmother. You and your entire family will be in my prayers, and so will your mother's soul (just in case). :)

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her.

Ash Sweetheart, there are no words. But know that we are all here for you.

Mary, hold Ash and her family in your embrace and deliver them to your Son.
