An Allied Organizations Prayer to Ernest Shea and his Families:

PRAYER for the Bereaved Family Ernest Shea,
O God, you heal broken lives and bind up the wounds of your sorrowing people.
Look in tender compassion on our friends whose joy has been turned into sadness.
Comfort them with your eternal Word, drawing them closer to each other by their sorrow.
Fill their souls with the peace of your presence.
Grant them a vision of life where all sorrow and tears will be wiped away in the joys that you have prepared for us.
So live with them until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.
In your loving kindness we pray. Amen.
