NOVENA PRAYER FOR ATE BEBS

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 joy;

The end of weakness

And the beginning of strength.

Let not grief overwhelm us,

Or a sense of lose 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,

FERNALINA SORIA ALARCON

Whom you have called out from this mortal life.

You loved her always with great love.

Now that you have freed her

From all evils of this earth,

Bring her into your paradise

Where there is no more grief

Or mourning or sadness

But peace and joy with your Son

And the Holy Spirit forever.

We thank you for all the blessings

You have given to ATE BEBS

In her mortal life.

We pray that she may be able to glorify you

With the life that she lived and the way

She made use of her blessings.

Lord God, grant that we will never forget

That life is short and uncertain.

Let your spirit guide us in holiness, justice

And service to out brothers and sisters.

We pray for the healing of all unhappy feelings

ATE BEBS’s death

Now lives in our hearts.

Be with us, Lord, during our moments

Of sorrow and loneliness.

You are our rock, our fortress and our strength.

We trust in you and hope

In your glorious resurrection.

We lift up to you our grief and sorrow.

Confident that you will change

Our mourning to rejoicing

That our beloved ATE BEBS

Now rests in your peace.

Leader: Eternal rest grant to the

soul of ATE BEBS,

O Lord.

All: And let your perpetual light

Shine upon her.

Leader: May she rest in peace.

All: Amen.

Leader: May the soul of ATE BEBS

And the souls of all the faithful departed

Through the mercy of God rest in peace.

All: Amen.
