‘S a Mháthair Mhic Dé Go gcuire tú mé ar mo leas. Go sábhála tú mé Ó gach uile olc Go sábhála tú mé Idir anam is chorp. Go sábhála tú mé Ar muir is ar tír Go sábhála tú mé Ar leic na bpian. Gárda na nAingeal Ós mo chionn Dia romham Agus Dia liom. Áimeán.

All I ask is that wherever you may be, you will always remember me at Holy Communion and at the foot of the Altar. – St. Monica.

O Sweet Jesus, for the sake of Thy Bitter Passion and the sorrows of Thy Immaculate Mother, have mercy on his soul, and let the light of Thy Countenance shine upon him. Amen.

We lost a father with a heart of gold, How much we miss him can never be told, He shared our troubles and helped us along, If we follow his footsteps we can never go wrong. We miss you from your fireside chair, Your loving smile and gentle air, Your vacant place no one can fill, We miss you father and always will. Each time we look at your picture, You seem to smile and say, Don’t be sad but courage take, And love each other for my sake.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.

Glór don Athair, Agus don Mhac, Agus don Spiorad Naomh. Mar a bhí ó thús, Mar atá anois, Mar a bheas go brách, Le saol na saol. Áiméan.

You can only have one mother, Patient, kind and true, No other friend in all the world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, To mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return. When we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, To our dear mother up above, Tell her how miss her, And give her all our love.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother, to thee I come; before thee I stand; sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer me. Amen.

Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same, All the world would be like Heaven, If we could have you back again. A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. The happy hours we once enjoyed, How sweet their memory still, But death has left a vacant place, This world can never fill. How dearly we loved you, And prayed you might live, But Jesus just beckoned, And we had to give. May the God of Love and Mercy, Care for our loved one who is gone, And bless with consolation, Those left to carry on.

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little – but not too long, And not with your head bowed low: Remember the love that we once shared, Miss Me – But let me go. For this is a journey we all must make, And each must go alone, It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to Home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrow, In doing good deeds, Miss me – But let me go.

God looked around His garden And saw an empty space, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. God knew you were in pain And a cure was not to be, So He closed your weary eye-lids And whispered come to me. With tearful eyes we watched you And saw you slip away, Although we loved you dearly We knew you could not stay. It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
