In your charity, please remember the Lord's handmaiden, Kathleen, who reposed on Friday, the 11th, at age 84, after a long illness. Kathleen was the mother of our dear friend, brother, and fellow forumite, Paul/Pavel Ivanovich.
O God of all spiritual and corporeal beings, You Who trampled death, broke the power of Satan and granted life to the whole world, now, O Lord, grant rest to the soul of Your departed handmaiden, Kathleen, in a place of light and peace, a place ever verdant, where there is neither pain nor sorrow nor sighing, but only life everlasting.
As You are a gracious God and the Lover of mankind, remember her and forgive her every transgression committed by her in word, deed, or thought, since there is no man alive who has not sinned, for You alone are without sin and You are the Resurrection and the Life, O Christ our God, and we render all glory and honor to You, together with Your Eternal Father, and Your most Holy, gracious, and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever, unto ages of ages. Amen.
In blessed repose, grant, O Lord, the rest of the righteous to Your handmaiden, Kathleen, and may her memory be eternal!
