May Life grant them wellness of body, spirit, and mind. And if this cannot be so, may they find in this transformation and passage moments of meaning, opportunities for love and the deep and gracious calm that

comes when they allow themselves to move on. We make our prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
