A Prayer for Friends and Relatives

Look down with mercy,O Lord, on with those whom Thou hast joined us by the ties of friendship and of blood. Grant that they,together with us,may live completely in accord with Thy holy will. Being cleansed from all stain of sin,may we be found worthy,by the promptings of Thy grace, to share the happiness of Thy heavenly kingdom. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ,Thy Son,who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost,God,world without end. Amen.
