A
PRAYER IN MEMORY OF THOSE WHO HAVE DIED
Everliving
God,
this
day revives in us memories of these loved ones.
What
happiness we shared when they walked among us.
What
joy when, loving and being loved, we lived our lives together.
Their
memory is a blessing for ever.
Months
or years may have passed, and still we feel near to them.
Our
hearts yearn for them.
Though
the bitter grief has softened, a duller pain abides;
for the place where once they stood is empty now.
The
links of life are broken, but the links of love and longing cannot break.
Their
souls are bound up with ours for ever.
We
see them now with the eye of memory,
their faults forgiven, their virtues grown larger.
So
does goodness live, and weakness fade from sight.
We
remember them with gratitude and bless their names.
Their
memory is a blessing for ever.
O
Lord, support us all the day long of our troubled life,
until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over and our work is done.
Then
in your mercy grant us a safe lodging,
and a holy rest, and peace at the last;
Through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
