Father, keep safe for me those whom
I love
I am so lonely without them
Protect them and let their thoughts
bear fruit that will honour your
name
When they feel sad, help them to be
patient and to trust in you and your
saving power.
When they take their rest at night,
keep all evil away from them
In the morning, renew your goodness to them
Give them the joys of earth which
you have made for pure souls
Lead them one day into your kingdom
where they will praise your name forever. (Amen)
