Ancient Lord,

Receive my loved one who has passed beyond this world.  Guide him to a place of honor in the Land of the Ancestors, so that he may find the peace he deserves.  Grant him rest that he might prepare for the next great adventure that waits him.

So mote it be.

Lady of Tears,

Grant me comfort now as I mourn the passing of my loved one.  Let me remember and cherish the love that we shared, the love that now fuels my sorrow.  In my grief let my memories of him, his trials, and his triumphs burn bright that I might give testimony to his life and deeds..  Let him live forever in my heart, where age and infirmity cannot touch him.

So mote it be.

Blessed Lady,

I know that all acts of love and pleasure are your worship.  Therefore, please help me this day to be more loving.  Help me to recognize those opportunities to bring smiles the faces of others.  Grant me the wisdom and strength that I might be a delight and source of joy for those around me.  Grant me gratitude that i might treasure my own blessings, and generosity that I might share them with others.

In this way, let your worship grow in my heart and overflow into my life and the world around me.

So mote it be.
