Almighty and most merciful God
who, when little children born again
of water depart this mortal life,
dost forthwith,
without any desert of other,
bestow upon them life everlasting,
as we believe Thou hast done
to this little child,
grant, we beseech Thee,
that through the intercession
of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and of all Thy Saints,
we may serve Thee
here with pure minds
and be forever united
to the blessed little ones in Paradise.
Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

LITTLE ANGEL

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child.
Who does so much to make our world
seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be “Goodbye.”
So when a little child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

There is a season for
everything, a time for every
occupation under heaven,
A time for giving birth,
A time for dying,
A time for planting,
A time for uprooting what has been planted.
A time for killing,
A time for healing;
A time for knocking down,
A time for building.
A time for tears,
A time for laughter,
A time for mourning,
A time for dancing.
A time for throwing stones away,
A time for gathering them up;
A time for embracing,
A time to refrain from embracing.
A time for searching, A time for losing;
A time for keeping,
A time for throwing away.
A time for tearing,
A time for sewing;
A time for keeping silent,
A time for speaking,
A time for loving,
A time for hating;
A time for war,
A time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Beautiful things in this life

are manifold tis true,

we count the stars by thousands,

the birds and flowers, too;

the sunsets and the dawnings,

rare beauties far and near,

but all the wide world over, there's just one

"Mother Dear."

Native American prayer

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
by Mary Elizabeth Frye (1904-?)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Let me grow lovely, growing old—
So many fine things do;
Laces, and ivory, and gold,
And silks need not be new;And there is healing in old trees,
Old streets a glamour hold;
Why may not I, as well as these,
Grow lovely, growing old?

—Karle Wilson Baker

In the morning of thy youth,
Learn this sober, solemn truth;
Life is passing like a stream,
Or a meteor's sudden gleam;
Like the bright aurora's blaze,
Disappearing while we gaze;
Soon the child becomes a maid,
In the pride of youth arrayed,
And her mind and form expand
To proportions great and grand;
Then she changes to a wife,
Battling with the ills of life;
Thus we come and thus we go,
And our cups with joy and woe,
Oft are made to overflow.
Each returning bright birthday,
Like the mile-stones by the way,
Will remind you as you go—
Though at first they pass so slow
That behind there is one more
And, of course, one less before;
Watch the moments as they fly,
With a never tiring eye—
Since you cannot stop their flow,
O! improve them as they go.

—David John Scott (1850)

Lord, look down from heaven above

And touch this special child with love.

Protect and guide this little one

'Till each and every day is done.

Remind us often that it's true:

This little life is a gift from you.

A miracle You've sent our way!

Lord, bless this little child today.

An Old Irish Blessing

CHEROKEE PRAYER:

God in heaven above please protect the ones we love.
We honor all you created as we pledge our hearts and lives together.
We honor mother-earth - and ask for our marriage to be abundant and grow stronger through the seasons;
We honor fire - and ask that our union be warm and glowing with love in our hearts;
We honor wind - and ask we sail though life safe and calm as in our father's arms;
We honor water - to clean and soothe our relationship - that it may never thirsts for love;
With all the forces of the universe you created, we pray for harmony and true happiness as we forever grow young together.

Amen.

I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.

Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

A First Communion Blessing

May you always feel as close to Jesus as you do today, May you always count on Him to gently guide you on your way … May you always trust in God to answer every single prayer, May you always feel Him blessing you with tender, loving care.

First Holy Communion

May Jesus bless and keep you, may He be your friend and guide, and may He always be with you, walking at your side.

KJV John 13:34

O gentlest heart of Jesus,
ever present in the Blessed Sacrament,
ever consumed with burning love
for the poor captive souls,
have mercy on the soul
of Thy departed servant.
Be not severe in Thy judgment
but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood
fall upon the devouring flames,
and do Thou O Merciful Savior,
send Thy Angels to conduct
Thy departed servant to a place
of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Merciful Jesus grant eternal rest.

A Place Where Children Are
What kind of place would heaven be
with all its streets of gold,
if all the souls, that dwell up there
like yours and mine, were old?
How strange would heaven's music sound when harps begin to ring,
if children were not gathered 'round
to help the angels sing.
The children that God sends to us
are only just a loan,
He knows we need their sunshine
to make the house a home.
We need the inspiration
of a baby's blessed smile.
He doesn't say they've come to stay,
just lends them for a while.
Sometimes it takes them years to do
the work for which they come.
Sometimes in just a month or two
our Father calls them home.
I like to think some souls up there
bear not one sinful scar.
I love to think of heaven
as a place where children are.

A Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,

Where ever flames may rage

Give me the strength
to save some life,

Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child

Before it is too late;

Or save an older person from

The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert,

And hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently

To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and

To give the best in me;

To guard my every neighbor and

Protect his property

And if, according to your will

I have to give my life;

Please bless with your
protecting hand

My children and my wife.

A Policeman's Prayer

Lord, I ask for courage;

courage to face and conquer my own fears;

courage to take me where others will not go.

I ask for strength;

strength of body to protect others;

strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication;

dedication to my job to do it well;

dedication to my community to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern;

concern for all those who entrust me;

and compassion for those who need me;

and please, Lord, through it all be at my side.

The Gift of Life
I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.

For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you
The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.

No other face
can take the place
of yours,
old friend of mine.
Put on that grin
and come on in,
and I’ll be
feeling fine.

— Raymond Atwood

Little deeds of
kindness –
Sow them everyday;
Scatter them like
seedlets,
Passing on life’s way.

Sun and rain
shall bless them,
And the early dew,
And the ten fold
harvest
Shall return to you.

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we’ll never part
God has you in his keeping
We have you in our hearts.

Irish Baby Blessing

May all the blessing of our Lord touch your life today...

May He send His little angels to protect you on your way...

Such a wee little fit, sent from above...

Someone so precious to cherish and love...

May sunshine and moonbeams dance over you head...

As you quietly slumber in your bed...

May good luck be with you wherever you go...

And your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.

Loving Memories

Your gentle face and patient smile

With sadness we recall

You had a kindly word for each

And died beloved by all

The voice is mute and stilled the heart

That loved us well and true,

Ah, bitter was the trial to part

From one so good as you.

You are not forgotten loved one

Nor will you ever be

As long as life and memory last

We will remember thee.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,

As time goes by we miss you more,

Your loving smile, your gentle face,

No one can fill your vacant place.

A Butterfly Hovers Closely

A butterfly hovers closely
And then quickly moves away,
Swiftly going where so ever
Her heart may freely say.

A butterfly lowers and rises
With the winds's gusty breath,
As if coupled within a dance
Of a loving tenderness.

The butterfly only knows
How it feels to have wings,
To kiss the petals of flowers
In such elegant flittering.

To have but one moment
Of such an exquisite flight,
Would be like a dream
Where all seems so right.

Author Unknown

Our hearts now fill
with joy and tears
Knowing we
will have too few years.

Taken from us
by the wings of love
To join the Angels
in the heaven's above.

Souls long past
are there to meet
This brand New Angel
with arms do greet.

From your place aloft
now with Angels blessed
Forever in
an external peaceful rest.

The soul we lost
is high above
An Angel now
watching o're us with love.

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not

so much seek to be consoled as to console;to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.

There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us

It's the bridge that we call love.

A Friend Like You

There's lots of things
With which I'm blessed,
Tho' my life's been both Sunny and Blue,
But of all my blessings,
This one's the best:
To have a friend like you.

In times of trouble
Friends will say,
"Just ask... I'll help you through it."
But you don't wait for me to ask,
You just get up And you do it!

And I can think
Of nothing in life
That I could more wisely do,
Than know a friend,
And be a friend,
And love a friend...like you.

Let me not to the
Where had I heard this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,
Looking downhill to a frothy shore?
Summer was past and day was past.
Somber clouds in the west were massed.
Out in the porch's sagging floor
Leaves got up in a coil and hissed,
Blindly struck at my knee and missed.
Something sinister in the tone
Told me my secret must be known:
Word I was in the house alone
Somehow must have gotten abroad,
Word I was in my life alone,
Word I had no one left but God.

Excerpt from Bereft

by Robert Frost (1874-1963)

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain;

I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there;

I did not die.

At the rising of the sun

and its going down,

We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind

and in the chill of winter,

We remember them.

At the opening of the buds

and in the rebirth of spring,

We remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves

and in the beauty of autumn,

We remember them.

At the beginning of the year

and when it ends,

We remember them.

As long as we live,

they too will live.

They are part of us,

We remember them.

God looked around the garden, and found an empty space.

He looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest.

God's garden must be beautiful for he only takes the best.

He knew that you were weary,

and he knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never be well on earth again.

He saw the roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids,

and whispered peace be thine.

God saw you getting tired,

And a cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around you,

And whispered, "Come to Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you,

And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands put to rest.

God broke our hearts

To prove to us,

He only takes the best.

Kaddish - English Translation

Magnified and sanctified
be His great name in the world
which He hath created
according to his will.
May He establish His Kingdom
during your life and during your days
and during the life of all the House of Israel,
even speedily and at a near time,
and say ye, Amen.

Let His great name
be blessed for ever
and to all eternity.
Blessed, praised and glorified,
exalted, extolled and honored,
magnified and lauded
be the name of the Holy One.
Blessed be He
though He be high above
all the blessing and hymns,
praises and consolations,
which are uttered in the world,
and say ye, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven,
and life for us and for all Israel,
and say ye Amen.
He who maketh peace in His high places
may He make peace for us
and for all Israel,
and say ye, Amen.

Twenty-Third Psalm 

The Lord is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for His name’ sake.

Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table
before me in the presence
of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the
days of my life: and I shall dwell
in the House of the Lord forever.

Safely Home

I am home in heaven, dear ones.

Oh, so happy and so bright!

There is a perfect joy and beauty

in the everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,

every restless tossing passed;

I am not at peace forever,

safely home in heaven at last.

There is work still waiting for you,

so you must not idly stand,

do it now, while life remaineth.

You shall rest in God's own land.

When that work is all completed.

He will gently call you Home;

Oh, the rapture of that meeting.

Oh, the joy to see you come!

I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

The Resurrection Prayer

Most merciful Father,
we commend our departed into your hands.
We are filled with the sure hope that
our departed will rise again on the
Last Day with all who have died in Christ.
We thank you for all the good things
you have given during our departed’s
earthly life.
O Father, in your great mercy,
accept our prayer that the
Gates of Paradise
may be opened for your servant.
In our turn, may we too be comforted
by the words of faith
until we greet Christ in glory
and are united with you and our departed.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen

Walk in Sunshine

May you always walk in sunshine

And God's Love around you flow,

For the happiness you gave us,

No one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you did not go alone.

A part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

A million times we needed you,

A million times we cried,

If love could have only saved you,

You never would have died.

When I must leave you for a little while

please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years,

But start out bravely with a gallant smile;

And for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same,

Feed not your loneliness on empty days,

But fill each waking hour in useful ways,

Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;

And never,never be afraid to die,

For I am waiting for you in the sky!

When I'm Gone

When I come to the end of my journey

and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can,

that I ever frowned and remember only the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;

remember some good I have done.

Forget that I ever had heartache

and remember I've had loads of fun.

Forget that I've stumbled and blundered

and sometimes fell by the way.

Remember I have fought some hard battles and won,

ere the close of the day.

Then forget to grieve for my going,

I would not have you sad for a day,

but in summer just gather some flowers

and remember the place where I lay,

and come in the shade of the evening

when the sun paints the sky in the west.

Stand for a few moments beside me

and remember only my best.

Jesus said:
"I am the light of the world.
He that follows me
shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life."

John 8:1

I have fought the good fight,

I have finished the race,

I have kept the faith.

Henceforth there is laid up for me

the crown of   righteousness

2 Timothy 4:7-8

Day is done, gone the sun.

From the lake, from the hill,

from the sky.

All is well, safely rest.

God is nigh.

Thanks and praise for our days

'neath the sun, 'neath the stars,

'neath the sky.

As we go, this we know.

God is nigh.

Angels

When you were born, an angel smiled,

As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder

When you became an adult, an angel held your hand

As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,

And, when you died, another angel got their wings.

--Unknown

May the angels
lead you into Paradise,
may the Martyrs
receive you at your coming,
and take you to Jerusalem,
the holy city.
May the choirs
of the Angels receive you,
and may you
with the once poor Lazarus,
have rest everlasting.
Amen.
May the Souls
of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace. Amen.

Psalm Twenty-Four
The earth is the Lord's,
and the fullness thereof;
the world, and they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas,
and established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,
nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness
for the God of his salvation.

When you're alone with Jesus
and He sweetly smiles on thee,

Will you gently whisper to Him
a little prayer for me?

And when I'm alone with Jesus
and all else is hid from view,

I'll gently drop into His heart
a little prayer for you.

Where I Am
No breaking heart is here,
no sad and chilling pain;;
no wasted cheeks where the frequent tear
rolls down and leaves it stain.

Dear Friends of mortal years,
the trusted and the true,
you are watching still in the valley of tears,
but I wait to welcome you.

I won't forget, O no!
For memory's golden chain
shall bind my heart to the heart
below till we meet to touch again.

Each link is strong and bright,
and love's eternal flame,
flows freely down,
like a river of light,
to the world from where I came.

And God Shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.

Revelation 21:4

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanished sight.
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoanèd moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

—William Shakespeare, Sonnet 30

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

—William Wordsworth,

"Ode: Intimation of Immortality"

Little angel, sent from God
To a desperate mother in need,
You touched the hearts of those you loved,
With every word and deed.

The pain you suffered and endured,
Would have conquered a weaker soul
Your willful, stubborn, hope-filled heart
Placed you in a stronger role

Twenty-two precious years
You nurtured love in a woman void
You gave her love, and life and hope
And kept her spirits buoyed.

Now in heaven, Sarah, please,
Keep watch o'er your dearest mother
And always remember, won't you please
You were loved like no other.

Love never disappears for death is a non-event.

I have merely retired to the room next door.

You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are.

Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad.

Continue to laugh at what made us laugh.

Smile and think of me.

Life means what it has always meant.

The link is not severed.

Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight?

I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path.

You see, all is well.

--St. Augustine

Hágase señor tu voluntad
En la tierra así como en el cielo
Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.
Perdona nuestras ofensas,
Así como nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden.
Y no nos dejes caer en la tentación;
Mas líbranos de todo mal.
Porque tuyo es el Reino, tuyo el Poder y tuya la Gloria por siempre Señor,

Amen.

Methodist Lord’s Prayer

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.
Amen.

Catholic Lord’s Prayer

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.

Amen

Catholic Lord’s Prayer
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.
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil,
and grant us peace in our day.
In your mercy keep us free from sin
and protect us from all anxiety
as we wait in joyful hope
for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
For the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles;
I leave you peace, my peace I give to you.
Look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church,
and grant us the peace and unity of your kingdom
where you live for ever and ever.
Amen.
