Went to a funeral yesterday. This struck me:
THE BLESSING
Life is short,
and we do not have much time
to gladden the hearts of those
who travel the way with us.
So be swift to love.
Make haste to be kind.
And as we go,
may the blessing,
the love, the joy, and the peace,
of the Holy One Who is in the midst of us
be among you and remain with you always.
Amen.
AND:
Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with they saints,
Where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing,
but life everlasting.
