The Path Less Taken


The Path Less Taken


OH, YOU WHO WE HAVE LOVED, WE LOVE YOU STILL

 Our dear friend, Danny Risdon is in the throes of grief on account of the sad passing of his close friend and spiritual director, Father Philip Cross. On May 3rd, Father Philip died at the age of 86. 

Danny and Father Philip used visit the graveyard together and recite De Profundis for the souls of the dearly departed. We may now do for Father Philip that which he did for other souls:



Out of the depths I have cried unto Thee, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.  Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If Thou, O Lord, shalt mark our iniquities: O Lord, who can abide it?For with Thee there is mercy: and by reason of Thy law I have waited on Thee, O Lord. My soul hath waited on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord. From the morning watch even unto night: let Israel hope in the Lord.  For with the Lord there is mercy: and with Him is plenteous redemption.

And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

(Eternal rest or "Requiem aeternam")
Eternal rest give to them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.

V/. Lord, hear my prayer.
R/. And let my cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful; grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins, that by our devout supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

V/. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.
R/. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
V/. May they rest in peace.
R/. Amen.
