It is a kind of Good Friday for her and for us just now, but Jesus makes all things new.

Yes, He does. May God uphold you all through this with the confidence that Vincent isn't lost to you, it's a separation for a while and he's gone on ahead to glory.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Oh, Siobhan... I'm so sorry for your loss. But our losses here on this earth are the Lord's gain. I will pray for your strength and faith to continue and to grow, although you have shown great strength bearing the loss of first your "Da" and now Vince. God bless you.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed
Rest in peace.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

May God grant you strength and peace in your time of sadness.

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
-- St. Paul

___________________________________________________________

Our prayers are with you, dear brother.
May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind, through Christ Jesus.
Amen.

Dear Siobhan,

I'm so sorry for the grief you are feeling...

God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor crying, nether shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. -Revelation 21:4

This is a prayer my mother Siobhan wrote some time ago:

Holy and Eternal Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
we pray to you
for all of the youth of the world
that through their worship, fellowship, and prayer
a new hope may be brought to the world
through a new vanguard of young believers
who will be the saints of an age to come.
You know how we love our children and our youth.
Give them your Holy Spirit
that where we have failed,
they may succeed for Christ,
and that they may build upon all that we have done
to reveal your Kingdom in the world.
Let our youth
be the Salt of the earth and the Light of the world
in the Holy Name, Precious Blood, Sacred Heart, and Mighty Power
of Jesus Christ Our Living Lord and Saviour. Amen.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,

fountain of every blessing,

I love you and I adore you

and with a lively sorrow for my sins,

I offer you my poor heart.

Make me humble, patience, pure

and wholly obedient to your will.

Grant good Jesus that

I may live in you and for you.

Protect me, in the midst of danger.

Comfort me, in my afflictions.

Assist me, in my temporal needs.

Give me health of mind, body & spirit.

Grant your blessings on all that I do.

Give me a happy life & a Holy death.

Amen.

Acts: 1:5-11
6
When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going 4 to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7
He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.
8
But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9
When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
10
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
11
They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."
