PRAYER FOR ETERNAL REPOSE

40th Day of the passing of our beloved
Luis D. Quetulio
(September 12, 1952 – December 15, 2010)

“It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosened from sins.” – 2 Machabees 12:46

I. Opening Prayer:

+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Our Lord God, loving Father, do not let hope die in us. But give us a great faith, and trust in You that You have prepared for Luis and for us a place of happiness where every tear will be wiped-away, where there is no more death or mourning or sadness, but only peace and joy with Jesus Christ, Your Son, and with the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

L: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
R: And let Your perpetual light shine upon them.
L: May they rest in peace.
R: Amen.

II. Gospel Reading:

At the last supper, Jesus said to His apostles, “Do not let trouble up set your hearts. Continue having faith in God and have faith in Me. There are many rooms in the house of My Father; if it were not so, I should have told you I am going there to prepare a place for you. I shall come back to take you with Me, so that you may be where I am going. Thomas said, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. no one can come to the Father except through Me.” – John 14:1-6

L: The Gospel of the Lord.
R: Praise to You, our Lord Jesus Christ.

III. Final Prayer:

Lord, help us to see death for what it really is,
the end of poverty and the beginning of riches;
the end of frustrations and the beginning of fulfillment;
the end of fear and the beginning of tranquility;
the end of weakness and the beginning of strength.

Let not grief overwhelm us, or a sense of loss
embitten us. But out of our sadness, let there arise
a new joy for so much given to us.

Cast out our fears and let not our hearts be troubled.
Let Your Spirit of peace come alive within our
experience and hurt, our sorrow and isolation,
our sadness today and loneliness tomorrow.

We humbly commend to You, Luis,
whom You called out of this mortal life.
You loved him always with a great love.

Now You have freed him from all evils of this earth,
bring him into Your Paradise where there is no more
grief or mourning or sadness. But peace and joy with
Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit forever.

We thank You for all the blessings You have given
to Luis in his mortal life. We pray that
he may be able to glorify You with the life that they
lived and the way he made use of his blessings.

Lord God, grant that we will never forget that life is
short and uncertain. Let Your Spirit guide us in holiness,
justice and service to our brothers and sisters.

We pray for the healing of all unhappy feelings Luis’
deaths now leaves in our hearts.

Be with us Lord, during our moments of sorrow and
loneliness. Be our rock, our fortress and our strength.

We trust in You and hope for Your glorious Resurrection.

We lift up to You our grief and sorrow, confident that
You will change our mourning to rejoicing that our beloved
Luis now rest in Your peace.

Amen.

One Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be

L: Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
R: And let Your perpetual light shine upon him.
L: May he rest in peace.
R: Amen.

+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prologue:

We are born into this world and we all have to leave it sooner or later, but the memories will linger on. Yes, the memories of uncle Ledo may become a silhouette in the afterglow of forgetfulness.

May the pain of losing him opens another door for joy. Good-bye, God has you in His keeping but you will always be in our hearts.

Let us pray,

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be
