Re: Bishop Walter Dixon of Atlanta, GA Official Press Release of the Death of Our Sister in Christ Hollywood Actress Rue Mc.Clanahan.
May God Be With Our Beloved Sister In Christ, Golden Girl Actress Rue Mc Clanahan.
Merciful Lord, who art the strength of sufferers and the comfort of those who are heavy of heart: incline thine ear, we beseech thee, to the prayers of all who cry unto thee in their troubles; succor the distressed, uphold the fainting, relieve the suffering, console the sad, and make thy face to shine upon the family of Rue Mc.Clanahan,
O lord, thou lover of souls whose wisdom is beyond our understanding, surround the family of Sister Rue Mc Clanahan with your love, that they may not be overwhelmed by their loss but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the day to come. May our Lord Jesus Christ be near the family to defend them, within us to refresh us around us to preserve us, before us to guide us, behind us to justify us, above us to bless us? Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Ghost. Her soul is bound up in ours forever.
We see her now with the eyes of memory, hi faults forgiven, and her virtues grown larger. So does goodness live and weakness fade from sight? We remember her with gratitude and bless her name. Her memory is a blessing for ever. And we remember as well the fallen one who but yesterday was part of our community. To all who cared for her and labored for all people, we pay tribute.
May we prove worthy of carrying on the tradition of our faith for the task is now her family. Her soul is bound up in all of ours forever. We give you thanks that she now live and reign with you. As a great crowd of witnesses, she surrounds us with her blessings, and offer your hums of praise and thanksgiving.
That she are alive for ever more in your kingdom. Let us remember and thank God whom we worship for making us your children by grace and for sustaining us with the bread of life: We thank you, Lord. For your presence wherever we have gathered: We thank you, Lord. For the pardon of our sins, especially when Christians have martyred Christians, who restores us to the fellowship of your faithful people, the saints:
We thank you, Lord. For the faith of all who have gone before us, thru their encouragement to their families: We thank you Lord. Aman
