Mysterious Lord of Life and Death, a very part of my own life has died in the death of my child. My soul is weighed down with sorrow and bears the wound of a lifelong scar. Send to me Your angel of consolation for the pain is heavy and deep. Come to my aid, Lord of Mercy, for I lack the power of the holy parent, Abraham, who was willing in obedience to Your command, to sacrifice to You his beloved son, Isaac. Lord God, You who are also a parent surely know my Pain at the loss of my beloved child who has been taken from my side by death. Do not take my tears and sorrow as a sign of my unbelief that all who have died are resurrected to eternal life in You, but, rather, see in these tears a sign of my great love for my child. As I held her in the embrace of love, may You, his Divine Parent, hold her close to Your heart forever. Help me, Lord, for I do not seek to understand the why of this mystery of death as much as I desire to accept it in a holy way and to be healed and once again whole. Support me, my Lord and God, and wrap me in your gentle love as I attempt to carry this bitter cross as Your Son, Jesus, carried the cross which you gave to Him. Amen
