My God, accept my heart this dayAnd make it always Thine,

That I from Thee no more may stray,No more from Thee decline.

Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace,Adopt me for Thine own,

That I may see Thy glorious faceAnd worship at Thy throne.

Let every thought and work and wordTo Thee be ever given;

Then life shall be Thy service, Lord,And death the gate of heaven. Amen.

Irish Prayer

May the road rise to meet you,May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,The rains fall soft upon your fields.

May green be the grass you walk on,May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,May true be the hearts that love you.

And until we meet again,May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

God our Father,we thank you that you have made each of us

in your own image, and given usgifts and talents with which to serve you.

We thank you for Alfred Stene,the years we shared with him,

the good we saw in him,the love we received from him.

Now give us strength and courageto leave him in your care,

confident in your promise of eternal lifethrough Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
