Chapter Text
Dearly beloved, we stand here in evening sadness after our morning jubilation. For just as the day must yield to night, so must our life yield to mortality. But do not forget the promise of salvation, that we may have life eternally.
Let us pray.
O Lord, look with pity on this poor child, who has left this vale of tears while seeking sustenance in thy house.
We beseech thee, take her unto thy embrace and suffer not her soul to roam in lonely perpetuity.
Send thy angel to watch over her, and guide her to thy promised rest.
Amen.
