Prayer Request from Cedric Joins for Louise and her family

This is from Cedric. Thank you so much for your prayers and may God be with you and your family, Teri & Michael (see below)

Prayer Warriors, please pray for my dear friend and former co-worker, Louise and her family. They are mourning the sudden death of her husband. He had been suffering from depression for quite some time and committed suicide this week. It's so very sad. Please keep the entire family lifted up in prayer as they try to cope with this horrible tragedy. 

Your Brother in Christ,

Cedric

In Loving Memory
Almighty God, through the death of Your Son on the cross, You have overcome death for us. Through his burial and resurrection from the dead You have made the grave a holy place and restored us to eternal life. We pray for those who died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living and the dead, may those who faithfully believed in You on earth praise You forever in the joy of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer
Watch, O 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.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Yourjoyous ones.
And for all Your love's sake. Amen.
Saint Augustine 

Prayer In Time Of Bereavement

Dearest Jesus, who wept at the death of Your friend 
and taught that they who mourn shall be comforted, 
grant us the comfort of Your presence in our loss. 
Send Your Holy Spirit to direct us 
lest we make hasty or foolish decisions. 
Send Your Spirit to give us courage 
lest through fear we recoil from living. 
Send Your Spirit to bring us Your peace 
lest bitterness, false guilt, or regret take root in our hearts.
The Lord has given. 
The Lord has taken away. 
Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen.
O sweet mother Mary, 
who knew the sadness of mourning those Your heart loved most,
Jesus, Your Son, 
and Joseph, Your devoted spouse,
pray for us in our time of loss.
Amen.
