A Veil

(Found here)

“Be Thou, triune God, in the midst of us as we give thanks for those who have gone from the sight of earthly eyes. They, in Thy nearer presence, still worship with us in the mystery of the one family in heaven and on earth.

If it be Thy holy will, tell them how much we love them, and how we miss them, and how we long for the day when we shall meet with them again. Strengthen us to go on in loving service of all Thy children. Thus shall we have communion with Thee, and, in Thee, with all our beloved ones. Thus shall we come to know ... that only a veil divides, thin as gossamer.”
