23rd 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's 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 anointest 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 for ever.

121st Psalm
I will lift mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; He shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth,
and even for evermore.

Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me to be a
happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done. I'd like to
leave an echo whispering softly down
the ways, of happy times, and laughing
times, and bright and sunny days. I'd
like the tears of those who grieve, to dry
before the sun of happy memories
that I leave when life is done.

Blue Skies
God hath not promised skies always blue,
flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
rest for the labor, light for the way.
Grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy undying love....

Come To Me
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
at rest. God broke our hearts to
prove to us, He only takes the best.

Do Not Cry
Do not cry, I have gone to God. I will wait for
you in Heaven where the family will be gathered
and the tears will be dried. You whom I loved so
much on earth pray for me, live always in a manner
so that we may be together in Heaven. Rejoice
with me who leave this earth of sorrow to go and
prepare a peaceful place for you. Death has
separated us, but the memory and the prayers will
unite us again. Heart of Jesus be my love...
Heart of Mary be my salvation. Goodbye, my
loved ones, see you all in Heaven.

Do Not Stand
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's gift of snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the autumn's gentle 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.

Memorare
Remember O most gracious Virgin
Mary that never was it known that
anyone who fled to Thy protection,
implored Thy help, and sought Thy
intercession was left unaided. Inspired
with this confidence, I fly unto Thee,
O Virgin of virgins, My Mother! to
Thee I come; before Thee I stand, sinful
and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word
incarnate! despise not my petitions,
but, in Thy mercy, hear and answer
me. Amen. Jesus, Mary, Joseph
We love you, we need you, pray for us.

O Gentlest Heart
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 Saviour, 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.

Resurrection Prayer
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 Saviour, 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.

Roman Ritual
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
Angels receive you, and may you
with the once poor Lazarus,
have rest ever lasting. Amen.

St. Augustine
Watch thou, dear Lord, with those
who wake, or watch, or weep tonight
and give your angels charge over
those who sleep.
Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ,
rest your weary ones, pity your dying
ones, pity your afflicted ones, and
all for you love's sake!

St. Francis of Assisi
Lord make me an instrument of Thy 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; 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.

St. Jude
St. Jude, glorious Apostle, faithful
servant and friend of Jesus, the
name of the traitor has caused you
to be forgotten by many, but the
true Church invokes you universally
as the Patron of things despaired
of; pray for me, who am so miserable
pray for me, that finally I may
receive the consolations and the
succor of Heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings,
and I may bless God with the Elect
throughout Eternity. Amen.

Sunny Skies
All sunny skies would
be too bright,
All morning hours mean
too much light,
All laughing days too
gay a strain;
There must be clouds,
and night, and rain,
And shut-in days, to
make us see the
beauty of life's tapestry

The 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.

The Precious Gift
One gift, above all others God
gives to us to treasure.
One that knows no time, no place
and one gold cannot measure.
The precious, poignant, tender
gift of memory--
that will keep our dear ones
ever in our hearts although
God gives them sleep.
It brings back long remembered
things a song, a word, a smile and
our world's a better place --
because we had them for awhile!

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are
weeping, friend, and let me take your
hand. I, who have known a sorrow
such as yours, can understand. Let
me come in -- I would be very still
beside you in your grief; I would not
bid you cease your weeping, friend,
tears bring relief. Let me come in --
I would only breathe a prayer, and
hold your hand, for I have known a
sorrow such as yours, and understand.
---Grace Noll Crowell

Treasured Seasons
For everything there is an
appointed season, and a time
for everything under heaven-
A time for sharing, a time for
caring. A time for loving, a time
for giving. A time for remembering,
a time for parting. You have made
everything beautiful in its time for
everything you do remains forever.

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 precious heart stopped
beating, and our faith, put to the test.
God broke our hearts, to prove to us,
He only takes the best. A million times
we've cried. If love could only have
saved you, you never would have died.

Welcome Home
For those I love, for those that love me.
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do. I
thank you for the love you each have
shown, but now it's time I traveled on
alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve
you must; then let your grief be comforted
by trust. It's only for a while we must
part, so bless the memories. And then
when you come this way alone, I'll greet
you with a smile and "Welcome Home".

When I Must Leave You
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 the 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.
