Approaching Death:
He is here and He
is with you
There is no place that you are not, Lo
rd and therefore even here I am saf
e,
for your love strengthens me and my tiny flicker of
l
ight is part of
your vast and
infinite being. Amen
As
we
near
death,
so
the
Light
of
Christ
shines
radiantly
ever
larger
and
can
be
seen
with
spiritual
eyes
or
felt
with
spiritual
awareness.
It
is
His
Light
towards
which
we
are
fl
owing,
eventually
to
be
fully
received
into,
to dwell forever after with Love.
It
is
this
light,
this
love,
this
beauty
that
the
person
who
is
dying
can
focus
on
and
move
towards
held
in
prayer.
It
is
this
Truth
that
becomes
ever more their focus as they leave us in body.
This
is
a
precious
and
sacred
moment,
ultimately,
the
moment
that
all
your
life
has
been
leading
towards,
that
moment
of
purity
of
knowing
God, in fullness, of returning to be with Him forever.
It
is
not
a
goodbye,
even
though
it
might
feel
like
that
to
those
who
are
left
behind,
rather
it
is
a
farewell
till
we
meet
again
in
the
Heart
of
Love
eternally.
The wonder of love and the truth of Spirit with you at this time can soften
the moment of death, can bring grace to bear on grief and loss, can
hearten us for our journey forward without the physical presence of the
person we love, can be a healing release from fear, can confirm faith and
belief, with a spiritual knowing not previously known, especially if you are
able to be with the person at the end, holding them in your love and
prayers, whether you are able to be with them physically or spiritually.
There is no separation in Love and prayer. There is no distance between
you in Mercy, which is the Totality of Love, in which there is only Light.
Oh Child of Love,
Oh Child of Light,
You came for a reason
And the reason was Love.
You only stayed here a while,
Then you left for the Light.
Now our hearts they are full of tears
But we still feel you near.
There’s only Love.
There’s only Love.
There’s only Love.
There’s only Light.
God’s Love.
God’s Light.
Every single prayer that you have ever prayed has touched someone and
helped someone and all those prayers that you have ever prayed come
back to you now and they touch you and they hold you.
And all that love and energy of prayer is blessing you right now, giving you
comfort, and strength and peace and healing and confidence in the Lord
and confidence in Spirit and confidence in prayer, confidence in the truth
of God with you, now and always.
And There is no fear now, only Love, only Peace, only Truth, only Joy of Love
and Light; God’s Light with you. Christ’s Light with you. Christ’s Light shining
before you. Christ’s Light filling you.
This is my hope, that innerly you will feel God’s Light within you, filling you,
comforting you. You will be strengthened spiritually in Him and feel His
blessing upon you.
And remember this:
Lord, shine Your Light for me
That I may be led to You now.
Be a safe light in any darkness
That might surround me,
Giving me hope and trust in the path
That leads me to You.
For You are the Light of Life.
You are my Comfort
And my Hope.
Amen

Prayers For Others
The Word of God is whole and complete.
It has no sound.
It is silence,
Pure light returning to the Father,
Bringing completeness
And awareness,
A return of love to love, being love
As it proceeds
Through time and space.
Prayers For Others

And all the time,
Holding our loved ones
Forever.

You give us the strength

To reach out in Love,
In genuine compassion,
Not for ourselves,
Not for anyone
Except the one whose need is great,
For that is our focus.
And there You place
Your Peace beyond all knowing
So that we all know it too
And there it remains with us
Beyond the passing,

To heal us,
In all our broken moments,

When suffering feels beyond endurance, hold fast to the Lord and when
you read a word of God or when you pray, we hope you find strength and
peace in every word. Remember that God glistens to you in every word.
And God blesses you with every single prayer.
Confidence in the Lord
With God, how far can you get above suffering,
I ask?
How high can you get above pain?
God answers:
As far as the sky and as near as the breath,
You can enter that Peace
of Loving Transcendent Mystery
And there find a Peace beyond all knowing.
How wide is that Peace, I ask?
Why, it is as vast as the oceans
And way beyond all the stars
That sparkle through the Universe.
It is as huge as the sea is to a raindrop.
It is as comforting as an endless tenderhug.
It is as gentle as a fleecy coat
of the finest spun lambswool.
It is always and everywhere
Forever sparkling to bless you.
Amen
Confidence in the Lord
Put out into the deep dear friend.
Put out deep and trust in theLord
Immerse yourself in His Spirit
For you will then travel a new path,
You will find a new way,
Abundant with Love,
Guided by Truth,
Inspired by His Wisdom,
For, He says,
My Way is always Light.
My Way is always True.
My Way is always Love
And above all,
My Way is filled with Mercy.
Therefore feel safe as you journey.
Be of good peace in your heart.
Trust in that which is yet to come.
Be filled with compassion for each other.
My Love knows no bounds.
Remember that I am always with you
And thus, you cannot fail to find me.
So put out into the depth of your own heart, dear friend
And Know that I am with you.
Journey with God:
Put Out into the Deep.
