Saints of God, come to her aid!
Hasten to meet her, angels of the Lord!
Receive her soul and present her to God the Most High.

In your charity, could you please say a prayer for the soul of my Grandma, who passed away at 1am this morning. She was such a kind and loving woman, blessed with 13 children (including my mother) and many, many, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I will miss her so very much!
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace! Amen.
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Her passing was on such a special day in our faith. Surely it was chosen. My deepest sympathy to each and everyone of you as her loss will be felt by so many. My prayers are with you all and especially for her soul that she may rest in eternal peace. God Bless.

Jessica, I am sorry. I will pray for your family and for the repose of your grandma's soul. She sounds like she was a lovely person. Would you please pray for the repose of my daddy's soul… he passed away very unexpectedly on July 22. He was relatively young (70) and in excellent health… no underlying medical conditions confirmed by his doctor. Again, you will be in my prayers as you mourn the loss of your beloved grandma. God bless. +JMJ+
