Lord, Bring Us Peace

Healing Together

Based on Matthew 5:4

Blessed are those who mourn,
For God will comfort them.
Lord, let us trust in your comfort,
Let us trust in your love.
As we grieve, we feel loss,
Though we know we are blessed.

Blessed to express gratitude
For our companions on the journey,
Companions on Earth,
And companions in Heaven.
Blessed to know that
You have conquered death.
Blessed to hold in our hearts that
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Blessed in community
To carry one another,
To share love,
To share memories.

Now, more than ever
May we cling to the life you promise.
May we remember that
With your grace
We are all walking toward your light.
With you, we are walking toward home.
Lord, bring us peace as we mourn.

Amen.
