The Healing Journey

August 3, 2024

Loving God,

A candle burns in my heart
and warms my soul.
It never flickers. It never wanes.
It is the memory of those I love
who are now at home with You.
I ask You to keep them close
to your heart.
Keep them in the bright flame
of Your love.
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord.
Let perpetual light shine upon them
and may their souls and the souls
of all the faithful departed,
by the mercy of God, rest in peace.
