God, my Father,
may I love You in all things and above all things.
May I reach the joy which You have prepared for me in Heaven.
Nothing is good that is against Your Will,
and all that is good comes from Your Hand.
Place in my heart a desire to please You
and fill my mind with thoughts of Your Love,
so that I may grow in Your Wisdom and enjoy Your Peace.

God of all consolation,

Show compassion to your people in sorrow.
Be our refuge and our strength to lift us
from the darkness of this grief
to peace and joy in your presence.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord,
Amen.

A Friedship Prayer
Help me, O God, to be
A good and true friend.
To be always loyal, and
Never to let my friends down;
Never to talk about them behind
Their backs in a way in which I
Would not do before their faces;
Never to betray a confidence or
Talk about the things about which
I ought to be silent;
Always to be ready to share
Everything I have;
To be as true to my friends
As I would wish them to be to me.
This I ask for the sake of You who are
the greatest and the truest of all friends,
For your love’s sake, Amen.
A good and true friend.

the greatest and the truest of all friends,
For your love’s sake, Amen.
