      God of mercy, look kindly on +MARY MERKA who has set down the burden of her years. As MARY served You faithfully throughout her life, may You give her the fullness of Your peace and joy. We give thanks for the long life of MARY, now caught up in Your eternal love. We make our prayer in the Name of Jesus, Who is our risen Lord now and forever. Amen.
      Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.  O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
    PRAY THE ROSARY
    Please continue praying for +MARY MERKA who left this earth and joined Our Lord, pray for her daughter, Estelle, and pray for her entire family.  May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace.
Your Friend in Christ,
