Condolence po...
Mommy Lei, para sa inyo 'to. Nakikiramay po kami. Nandito lang kami sa tabi niyo. .I also offer this prayer for all those who lost their loved ones due to the landslides in Leyte, as well as the ULTRA stampede.
Jesus, to the very end you lived our humanity, that life where one must always let go, must pass through death to enter into the fullness of life, that life where joy never completely buries sadness, where we move through days that demand goodbyes and come to moments that leave us no choice but to bid farewell to our loved ones.
Jesus, remind [Mommy Lei and her family, and all those who have recently lost their loved ones] not to lose sight of the other side of ache, that glorious moment of happy homecoming, waiting for all of us in the loving hello of the Father. Send your Spirit to deepen [their] faith and to soften [their] sadness so that the vision of homecoming...will overpower the aches and struggles in all of life's farewells and goodbyes. Sustain [them] in this time of grief and comfort [them] as [they] experience this great loss in life. Amen.
