The world mourns the loss of the only son

of our late dear President Kennedy.

In addition to the loss of John Jr. and his lovely wife Carolyn..........

Lauren Bessette was with them as well.

My heart bleeds for the parents of these two beautiful young ladies.

We send our deepest prayers to The Bessette Family

who has to endure the pain of losing two daughters.

We all mourn this Tragic loss. And pray for your strength.

Prayers and Love go to The Kennedys.

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;

All's so happy, all's so bright!

There's perfect joy and beauty

in this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief are over,

Every restless tossing passed;

I am now at peace forever,

Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly

Trod the Valley of the Shade?

Oh! but Jesus' love illumined

Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me

In that way so hard to tread;

And with Jesus's arm to lean on,

Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,

For I love you dearly still;

Try to look beyond earth's shadows,

Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you,

So you must not idle stand

Do your work while life remaineth--

You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all complete,

He will gently call you home;

Oh, the rapture of the meeting!

Oh, the joy to see you come!

The Will of God

The will of God will never take you,

Where the grace of God cannot keep you,

Where the arms of God cannot support you,

Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,

Where the power of God cannot endow you.

The will of God will never take you,

Where the Spirit of God cannot work through you,

Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,

Where the army of God cannot protect you,

Where the hands of God cannot mold you.

The will of God will never take you,

Where the love of God cannot enfold you,

Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,

Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,

Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.

The will of God will never take you,

Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,

Where the Word of God cannot feed you,

Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,

Where the omnipresence of God cannot find you.

Their Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of them as gone away,

their journey has just begun.

Life holds so many facets,

this earth is only one.

Just think of them as resting

from the sorrows and the tears,

in a place of warmth and comfort,

where there are no days and years.

Think of how they must be wishing

that we could know, today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of them as living

in the hearts of those they touched

for nothing loved is ever lost

and they were loved so much.

Ellen Brenneman

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where this is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled

as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Do Not Stand and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow.

I am the diamond glint

on newly fallen snow.

I am the sunlight

on ripened grain.

I am the soft and gentle autumn rain.

When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft, starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep.
