The mother of Johnieb, who comments here frequently, has passed away. Johnieb's mother and mine share the same name, Pearl. I extend my deepest sympathy to Johnieb and to his family.
A Commendatory Prayer
Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant Pearl. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive her into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
For the Bereaved
Let us also pray for all who mourn, that they may cast their care on God, and know the consolation of his love.
Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom then shall I be afraid?
(Prayers from The Book of Common Prayer)
May she rest in the sweet peace of Christ.
