The Vigil

Of your kindness, please remember Darwin and his family in your prayers this evening, as tonight is the vigil for his father before the funeral. They'll be praying three decades of the rosary -- the Crucifixion, the Transfiguration, and the Resurrection -- and I'll be praying them here at home as well. If you should have some extra prayer time tonight, join us in offering these decades for the repose of the soul of Jon Hodge.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace...
