Prayer for the Mourning

Everywhere in the world, someone mourns
the death of a loved one. Lord, may these
people feel Your love and Your comfort while
they spill or hide their tears. May they find
strength in the hope that with You, reborn
are the souls that have flown like geese
to a better clime. Help the mourners to smile
again in time though in their minds
shall live the legacies of those loved ones.
Had the latter fought earthly battles, let
the living learn from them and even continue
the good causes which have been passed on
like batons in the marathons of life. May the mourners set
their eyes away from pity and lift their sorrows to You.
Amen.
