You are the Resurrection and the Life
A beautiful prayer for use in times of grief and mourning.
Here at CAFOD we hold all our supporters, volunteers, staff, and those we have worked alongside overseas who have died in our prayers.
We also pray for their friends and family and for all those who mourn, that they may find comfort in this difficult time.
God of our longing
A prayer to give us hope and courage when we are at our most vulnerable
The burden of grief
Inspired by Psalm 30:11, this prayer asks God to turn our mourning to dancing and to clothe us with joy.
Prayer for those who mourn
A prayer for all who are grieving, that they may find comfort in God's love.
The light of God's promise
As we remember our loved ones who have died, we pray that God may be us in our sorrow and comfort us in our loss.
A step along the way
This beautiful reflection, with words often attributed to Saint Oscar Romero, encourages us to consider the contribution we can all make to build a brighter future for generations to come.
Hold me to your heart
A prayer for all those who mourn, asking God to hold us close and grant us hope.
Lord of life and love
We give thanks for the past, seek courage to face the present and look with hope to the future.
