32 O Gentlest Heart of Jesus u O’ gentlest heart of Jesus, Ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, Ever consumed with burning love, For the poor captive souls, Have mercy on the soul, for thy departed servant. Be not severe in Thy judgment, But let some drops of Thy Precious Blood, fall upon the devouring flames, and Thou O’ Merciful Saviour, send Thy Angels to conduct, Thy departed servant to a place, of refreshment light and peace. Amen. May the souls of all the faithful departed, Through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Merciful Jesus grant eternal rest. Most Merciful u Most merciful Father, we commend our departed into your hands. We are filled with the sure hope that our departed will rise again on the last day with all who have died in Christ. We thank you for all the good things you have given during our departed’s earthly life. O Father, in your great mercy, accept our prayer that the Gates of Paradise may be opened for your servant. In our turn, may we too be comforted by the word of faith until we greet Christ in glory and are united with You and our departed. Through Christ our Lord, Amen. Memorare u Remember . . . O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protections, implored thy help and sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins. My Mother! To thee I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen. Prayer Card Verses are denoted with the u symbol. Meet Me in the Stars You aren’t that far away. Just meet me in the stars. I saw you twinkling at me. I know just where you are. Distance can never steal A lifetime of our love. It is when it is the darkest The stars appear above. So shine ever so brightly. Let me know you still care. Meet me in the stars And I will find you there. © Deborah J Birdoes Poem & Verse Selections (continued)
