Eternal Rest Grant to her Lord


I have been blessed with some wonderful moments during my Grandma Helen's final weeks and days, but the most amazing was being with her during her final hours and her passing from this life to the next last night around 5:50 p.m. She was surrounded by family, and I can truly say she was wrapped in Our Lady's arms. Her passing was peaceful and beautiful. Please join me in praying for the repose of her soul.


Let Us Pray


We commend to You, O Lord, the soul of our sister Helen who has passed from time to eternity. We humbly beseech You to be to her a merciful Judge. In Your infinite goodness pardon her all the sins that she ever committed through human frailty. Through the merits of the bitter sufferings and death of Jesus Christ, by the sorrows of His Blessed Mother, and the intercession of all the saints, remit the punishment that she deserves and lead her into the glory of Heaven. Amen.


Our Father... Hail Mary... (repeat 5 times)


Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon her; may she rest in peace. Amen.
