Prayer for Gilda
This is taken from "Prayers: our Lady of Guadalupe" prayer book. It is a timely prayer for Nanay Gilda as it contains many inspiring phrases for commendation, asking for peace, recalling joyful moments with the dearly departed. May we derive consolation in praying this prayer. Lord, help us to see death for what it really is, the end of poverty and the beginning of riches; the end of frustration and the beginning of fulfillment; the end of fear and the beginning of tranquility; the end of pain and the beginning of joy; the end of weakness and the beginning of strength. Let not grief overwhelm us, or a sense of loss embitter 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 Gilda whom you have called out of this mortal life. You love
