Prayer Request for Teri's cousin Janice Mathewson, Rest In Peace

Dearest Prayer Warriors

We are very sorry to report that Janice, Teri's cousin, passed away yesterday evening in Las Vegas, where she had just been put into hospice a few days ago. She had been seriously ill for some time. Teri & her sister Barbara both grew up with Janice, they were like sisters, Janice being older and she lived next door. Thank you so much for your prayers for the repose of Janice's soul and for consolation for those grieving her loss. We pray especially for her daughter Lira, who has now lost both her parents. Her father, Ken Mathewson, passed in September of 2018. Please keep her lifted in your prayers for strength and comfort from our Lord and His guidance and protection for her. 

Thank you again and may God bless you and your family,

With the love of Christ,

Teri & Michael

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 of Solace

May Christ support us all the day long, till the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over and our work is done. Then in his mercy may he give us a safe lodging, and holy rest and peace at the last.

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. 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.
