40TH DAY PRAYER

FOR THE ETERNAL REPOSE
OF OUR BELOVED _______,

______________________
THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of
heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son,
our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born
of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died and was buried; He descended into
hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He
ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father almighty; from there He will come
to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of PIC
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the
body, and life everlasting. Amen.

ALL: LORD, HELP US TO SEE DEATH FOR WHAT IT REALLY IS: THE END OF POVERTY AND THE
BEGINNING OF RICHES; THE END OF FRUSTRATION AND THE BEGINNING OF FULFILLMENT, THE
END OF FEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF TRANQUILITY; THE END OF PAIN AND THE BEGINNING
OF JOY; THE END OF WEAKNESS AND THE BEGINNING OF STRENGTH.

LET NOT GRIEF OVERWHELM US OR A SENSE OF LOSS EMBITTER US. BUT OUT OF OUR
SADNESS, LET THERE ARISE A NEW JOY FOR SO MUCH GIVEN TO US.

CAST OUT OUR FEARS AND LET NOT OUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. LET YOUR SPIRIT OF PEACE
COME ALIVE WITHIN OUR EXPERIENCE AND HURT, OUR SORROW AND ISOLATION, OUR
SADNESS TODAY AND LONELINESS TOMORROW.
CONCLUDING PRAYER
ALL: WE HUMBLY COMMEND TO YOU, OUR DEAR ___________WHOM YOU HAVE

YOU HAVE FREED HER FROM ALL EVILS OF THE EARTH, BRING HER INTO YOUR PARADISE
WHERE THERE IS NO MORE GRIEF OR MOURNING OR SADNESS BUT PEACE AND JOY WITH
YOUR SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FOREVER. WE THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS YOU
HAVE GIVEN IN HER MORTAL LIFE. WE PRAY THAT SHE MAY BE ABLE TO GLORIFY YOU WITH
THE LIFE THAT SHE LIVED AND THE WAY THAT SHE MADE USE OF HIS BLESSINGS.

LORD, GRANT THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET THAT LIFE IS SHORT AND UNCERTAIN. LET DEATH
REMIND US OF OUR OWN MORTALITY SO THAT WE MAY TRY TO LIVE OUR OWN LIVES IN
HOLINESS, JUSTICE AND SERVICE TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. SO THAT WE MAY PREPARE
OUR HEARTS, FOCUSED ON BUILDING OUR TREASURES FOR OUR ETERNAL LIFE MORE THAN
OUR EARTHLY LIFE.
CONCLUDING PRAYER
ALL: WE PRAY FOR HEALING OF ALL UNHAPPY FEELINGS DEATH NOW LEAVES IN OUR
HEARTS. BE WITH US, LORD, DURING OUR MOMENTS OF SORROW AND LONELINESS.

YOU ARE OUR ROCK, OUR FORTRESS AND OUR STRENGTH. WE TRUST IN YOU AND HOPE IN
YOUR GLORIOUS RESURRECTION. GIVE US THE GRACE TO SEE THE BLESSINGS OUT OF THIS
CRISIS AND SUFFERING AS WE LIFT UP TO YOU ALL OUR GRIEF AND SORROW, CONFIDENT
THAT YOU WILL CHANGE OUR MOURNING TO REJOICING, THAT OUR BELOVED
__________NOW RESTS IN YOUR PEACE. AMEN.
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF
THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AMEN.
