O, G-d, full of compassion, Thou who dwellest on high,

grant perfect rest beneath the shelter of Thy divine presence

among the holy and pure who shine as the brightness of the

firmament to the soul of my beloved who has gone to

his (her) eternal home.


Mayest Thou, O G-d of Mercy, shelter him (her) forever

under the wings of Thy presence, May his (her) soul be

bound up in the bond of life eternal, and grant that the

memories of my life inspire me always to noble and

consecrated living. Amen.
