A reader writes:
My father passed away peacefully in his sleep this evening. All glory to our Lord Jesus Christ, who will raise my father on the last day. Your prayers appreciated.
Father, hear our prayer for the repose of your servant’s soul, and especially for the good son he leaves behind to mourn his passing. Grant that your light, peace, consolation and grace are given to them to endure their parting until that day when they meet again in the joy of your presence, never to part again. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Mother Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
