Suddenly my father's younger sister, my Aunt Lois has died. She was a woman of faith, who was devoted to Jesus. Tuesday her children will bury her today next to her husband, who served the Church as a deacon. He died a year and a week to the day before her. One of her sons is a Pastor, she has quite a legacy.
Depart, O Christian soul, out of this world;
In the Name of God the Father Almighty Who created you;
In the Name of Jesus Christ Who redeemed you;
In the Name of the Holy Spirit Who sanctifies you.
May your rest be this day in peace,
and your dwelling place in the Paradise of God.
Into Your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend Your servant Lois. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech You, a sheep of Your own fold, a lamb of Your own flock, a sinner of Your own redeeming. Receive her into the arms of Your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
Fidelium animae † per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace.
May the souls † of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
