Start with Just Two Minutes a Day to Remember Your Loved One
Read and pray this poem for your loved one twice a day.
As little as two minutes a day can make a positive difference in coping with grief. When you change your imagination, your gifts of love, faith and hope come alive in how you relate to your loved one and to God.
A deceased loved one in God's hands
Lives the fullness of 3 strands.
Three strands of love, faith and hope
Weave a stronger bond than rope.
One lasting love, a braid of three
Formed by God, my deceased loved ones and me.
May these three strands unite as one
at home with God when time is done.
(c) 2006 Dave Pipitone
All three strands unite as one - love, faith and hope - the greatest and lasting of these is love (see Chapter 13 of St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians in the Bible.)
Remember this: God is on your side; God loves all people and all creation, including you and all of your loved ones. What does it mean that God is on your side? Just look at this list:
- God believes in you and your loved ones.
- God builds up the hope for a better future with you.
- God loves you and your loved ones for all eternity.
- God wants to create new life in you and your loved ones forever.
- God wants your life and the life of your departed friends to be a shining beacon of love and hope to others.
- God wants to be with you and your loved ones every day of your life – on earth and in eternity.
