PRAYER THREAD -- Great Aunt Has Passed Away

Self | 5/3/09 | An American Mother

[AnAmericanMother]

Please say a prayer if you will for my husband's great-aunt, his mother's only sister.

She died last night, rather suddenly. She was in her late '80s, had never married and took care of their parents until they died.

She was the quintessential old-fashioned Irish Catholic lady, devoted to her local church and to her extended family. She was absolutely thrilled when husband and I converted to the Church, I'm sure she had been praying for us for years.

My husband and his brother are driving up to help my mother in law, who is a great lady but she has been devastated by this. Please keep Helen, my mother in law Doris, and my husband and his brother in your prayers.

Thanks, y'all.

[Tax-chick]

I certainly will pray for all of you!

O God of all spirits and of every flesh, Who did trod down death and overcome the devil, bestowing life on this Your world, to the soul of this Your servant Helen, departed this life, do You Yourself, O Lord, give rest in a place of light, in a place of green pasture, in a place of refreshment, from where pain and sorrow and mourning have fled away. Every sin by her committed in thought, word, or deed, do You as our Good and Loving God forgive, seeing that there is no man who shall live and sin not, for You alone are without sin. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your Law is truth; for You are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Your servant Helen, departed this life, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up glory, with Your Eternal Father and Your All‑Holy, Good and Life‑creating Spirit; both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Glory to You, O Christ our God and our Hope; glory to You. May Christ our true God, Who rose from the dead, have mercy on us; He Who as Immortal King has authority over both the dead and the living. Through the intercessions of His spotless, pure and holy Mother; of the holy, glorious, and all‑praiseworthy Apostles; of our venerable and Godbearing Fathers; of the holy and glorious forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; of His holy and just friend Lazarus, who lay in the grave four days; and of all the Saints; establish the soul of His servant Helen, departed from us, in the tentings of the Just; give her rest in the bosom of Abraham; and number her among the Just, through His goodness and compassion as our merciful God.

Everlasting be your memory, O our sister, who are worthy of blessedness and eternal memory.

Everlasting be your memory, O our sister, who are worthy of blessedness and eternal memory.

Everlasting be your memory, O our sister, who are worthy of blessedness and eternal memory.
