In your charity, please remember in prayer, our beloved brother and fellow forumite, Brother David Balok Ocarm, who posted here for many years as DavidB the ByzCath and later under his name and religious .
David reposed in the Lord on 28 Sept 2013 at age 46, after a four year battle with cancer, and only 13 months after professing his solemn vows as a Carmelite friar.
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 servant, the Friar David, in a place of light, freshness, and peace, where there is neither pain, nor sorrow, nor mourning, but only life everlasting.
As You are a gracious God and the Lover of mankind, forgive him every transgression committed by him in word, thought, or deed, 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 glory to You, together with Your Eternal Father, and Your most Holy, gracious, and life-giving Spirit, now and always and forever.
May his memory be eternal and may all of David's loved ones be comforted in the prayerful expectation of being reunited with him in Heaven
