PV1 We give back to you, O God, those whom
you gave to us...
WILLIAM PENN

We give back to you, O God, those
whom you gave to us. You did not lose
them when you gave them to us and we do
not lose them by their return to you.
Your dear Son has taught us that life is
eternal and love cannot die, so death is
only a horizon and an horizon is only
the limit of our sight. Open our eyes to
see more clearly and draw us close to
you that we may know that we are
nearer to our loved ones, who are with
you. You have told us that you are
preparing a place for us; prepare us also
for that happy place, that where you are
we may also be always.
O dear Lord of life and death.
