In Loving Memory of Our Sister

  "Those who knew her best, knew her heart
 and were blessed to know her love and generosity."
Ouida Tomlinson, SFO 

O God our Father, Creator of all the living,
we entrust to Your gentle care
all those we love who have gone before us;
 and have gone to their rest in the hope of rising again.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
 now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,
 and let perpetual light shine upon them.
 May the souls of the faithful departed
 through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

One did not forget singing Amazing Grace with Tom at Mass.
He always cried, and when we finished singing,
I loved both God and Tom much more
"than when we've first begun."
Ouida Tomlinson, SFO 

If you suffer with Him, you shall reign with Him,
if you weep with Him, you shall rejoice with Him;
if you die with Him on the cross of tribulation,
you shall possess heavenly mansions in the splendour of the saints
and, in the Book of Life, your name shall be called glorious among humankind.
Because of this you shall share always and forever
 the glory of the kingdom of heaven in place of earthly and passing things,
and everlasting treasures instead of those that perish, and you shall live forever.
(St Clare second letter to Agnes)
 

Jesus, remember me
when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus, remember me
when you come into your kingdom.
