O Jesus, full of grace and charity, victim for sinners, so impelled by Your love of us that You willed to die on the cross, I humbly entreat Thee to glorify in heaven and on earth, the servant of God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who generously participated in Your sufferings, who loved Thee so much and laboured so faithfully for the glory of Your heavenly Father and for the good of souls.

The angels sang “Amazing Grace”,
Our Lord came down and touched your face.

The angels lined up side by side,
For a special guest was on his way,
The day you took our dad away.

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes – Verse 037

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, You know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Look upon me with mercy. When You appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, You made it a privileged sanctuary where You dispense Your favors, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporeal. I come, therefore, with unbounded confidence to implore Your maternal intercession. My loving Mother, obtain my request. I will try to imitate Your virtues so that I may one day share Your company and bless You in eternity. Amen.

God called your name so softly – Verse 038

God called your name so softly,
That only you could hear,
And no-one heard the footsteps,
Of the angels drawing near.
 
So put your arms around her Lord,
And keep her forever safe,
For she was someone special
And can never be replaced.

Just a prayer from the Family who loved you – Verse 001

Just a prayer from the Family who loved you,
Just a memory fond and true,
In our hearts you will stay forever,
Because we thought the world of you.

It was a sudden parting,
Too bitter to forget,
Those who loved you dearly,
Are the ones who can’t forget.

We often sit and think of you,
And think of how you died,
To think you could not say goodbye,
Before you closed your eyes.

 The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear,
Our loss is great, we’ll not complain,
But trust in God to meet again.

 At night the silent stars look down,
On a grave not far from here,
Where sleeps the one we love,
In God’s safe keeping may he rest,
And pray for us who can’t forget.

When last we saw your smiling face – Verse 002

When last we saw your smiling face,
You looked so bright and well,
Little did we know that day,
Was to be our last farewell.
 
The Golden Gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
 
Two tired eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still,
The one who worked so hard for us,
Is resting at God’s will.
 
Your life was one of kindly deeds,
A helping hand for other’s needs,
To a beautiful life came a happy end,
You died as you lived, everyone’s friend.

A bouquet of beautiful memories – Verse 004

A bouquet of beautiful memories,
Sprayed with a million tears,
Wishing God could have spared you,
For just a few more years.
 
It does not take a special day,
For us to think of you,
Each Mass we hear, each prayer we say,
Is offered up for you.
 
May he rest in peace, dear Jesus,
May his spirit now repose,
In Thy great protecting arms,
Far from earthly woes.
 
Along the road of yesterday,
That leads us straight to You,
Are memories of happy days,
Together we once knew.
