James

I'd like to meet:

Lord, God you are attentive to the voice of our pleading. Let us find in your Son comfort in our sadness, certainty in our doubt, and courage to live through this hour. Make our faith strong through Christ our Lord.R/. Amen.Lord, James is gone now from this earthly dwelling, and has left behind those who mourn his absence. Grant that we may hold his memory dear, never bitter for what we have lost nor in regret for the past, but always in hope of the eternal kingdom where you will bring us together again. We ask this through Christ our Lord.R/. Amen.

Books:

Saints of God, come to his aid! Come to meet him, angels of the Lord! [Response] Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

May Christ, who called you, take you to himself; may angels lead you to Abraham's side. [Response] Receive . . .

Give him eternal rest, O Lord, and may your light shine on him for ever. [Response] Receive . . .

Let us Pray.

All-powerful and merciful God, we commend to you, James, your servant. In your mercy and love, blot out all the sins he has committed through human weakness. In this world he has died: let him live with you for ever.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

AMEN.
