Prayer For Passed Loved One
Shepherd of all, in death you remained hidden from the world; teach us to love our hidden spiritual life with you and the Father.
In your role as the new Adam, you went down among the dead to release all the just there since the beginning; grant that all who are dead in sin may hear your voice and rise to new life.
Son of the living God, you have allowed us through baptism to be buried with you; grant that we may also rise with you in baptism and walk in newness of life. Amen.
I commend you, my dear [name] to almighty God, and entrust you to your Creator.
May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth.
May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life.
May Christ who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace.
May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise.
May Christ, the true Shepherd, embrace you as one of his flock.
May he forgive all your sins, and set you among those he has chosen.
May you see your Redeemer face to face, and enjoy the vision of God, forever.
Lord,
My heart is feels like a thousand knives are running through it. I am weary, spent, and just so sad. Please, help me! Hear my prayers. Hold me and my family up. Give us strength. Be present. Be persistent in your love. Carry us through this heartache. Sustain us. Bring us joy and hope.
In Your Name I pray, Amen.
My prayers to you and your family. May Gods perfect peace be with you in your time of sorrow.
For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. (2 Corinthians 5:1).
Be comforted by these words, as I extend my deepest sympathy and love to your family.
Embrace in your loving arms
all who are grieving the loss
of family and loved ones
through tragic circumstance;
where lives are in turmoil,
hope turns to despair
and pain is all that's felt.
Be with them in their sorrow,
uphold them with your strength,
and through the generosity
of love shown by othersv and your presence within their hearts
may they know they are not alone,
in their struggle through today.
Thank you for the lives
of all those loved ones
who, whilst no longer
walking beside us
or holding our hand
along life's journey
as once they did, live on
in the collective memory
of those they have left behind.
Enjoy their company, Loving God
until we shall meet again
Amen
Loving Father, I am finding it so hard to even get up bed to start the day, knowing that I have to face it alone and without the one I love so dearly I know that without Your grace and sufficiency I could never get through the day but I thank You that You have promised to be with me and to provide me with Your strength for the day as well as bright hope for tomorrow. I can't imagine tomorrow being anything but a day filled with pain as I do not have my loved one beside me, but I ask that in Your grace You will give me the strength to get through today, step by step knowing that You are there to carry me, even when my heart seems to fail from the grief and pain that I am going through.
Loving Lord I am filled with grief and sadness at the loss of my precious loved one and yet that pain is tinged with gold, knowing that they trusted you as their Saviour and that they are now in Your presence. I know that I am going to miss this precious one, who has been my strength and my joy for so long, and thank You for the precious times we had together. Often Lord I expect my dear one to just be there, or walk through the door and then remember that they have gone home to be with You.
