Prayer at the Death of a Spouse~~
Master, Lord, immaculate Creator of all, in Your love for
mankind You created woman from Adam’s rib, and blessed
them, saying: Be fruitful, multiply and conquer the earth. You
joined the two into one body and commanded that no man
separate that which You had joined together. Look down from
heaven, O compassionate Father, and behold the grief and
pain which have fallen upon my heart and soul as I behold
my separation today from the one soul of Your servant, O
Lord, who You, O Lord, gave to be my husband (wife) and
support in this life. Show Your loving kindness to me, O
merciful Lord, at this hour which is so difficult for my soul to
endure! Lord, Jesus Christ, comforter of those who mourn,
the prophet Isaiah spoke of You, saying that You would come
to heal those whose hearts were crushed. Be my comforter
and hear me as I raise my voice to You with faith. I pray, O Gracious King, forgive whatever sins my husband (wife) has
committed in this life; whether by word, deed or thought,
knowingly or unknowingly, Receive the soul of Your servant,
O Lord, in Your eternal heavenly kingdom, among the
dwelling of the saints. At Your proper time, grant that my
soul, which longs for that kingdom, may also dwell in that
holy place where, once again, our souls shall meet and,
together, offer glory and praise to Your all holy name: Of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever
and unto ages of ages. Amen.
