Remembering with Love on Cemetery Sunday

O God, this time revives in us memories of loved ones who are no longer with us. What happiness we shared when they walked among us!
What joy, when loving and loved, we shared life together!
Months or years may have passed, yet we feel near to them.
Our hearts yearn for them.
Though the bitter grief has softened, a duller pain abides, for the place where once they stood is empty now.
The links of life are broken, but the links of love and longing cannot break.
Their souls are bound up with ours forever.
O Lord, I thank you for allowing me to have these special people in my life. I have been truly blessed by their presence, their words and actions. I grieve not for them, but for myself, as I truly miss them . We shared so much and yet I feel our times together were fleeting. Help me, O God, to realise that the distance between us now is not so great and that one day, I will be reunited with them forever in heaven.
