Our Prayer for an Angel - Maria Stella

Prayer for Stella

Almighty Father, eternal God, hear our prayers for Your daughter, Stella, whom You have called from this life. Give her eternal rest as You let her pass in safety through the gates of death, and live forever with all Your saints in the light You promised to Abraham and to all his descendants in faith. Guard her from all harm; and on that great day of resurrection and reward, raise her up with all Your saints. In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins she may have committed and grant her eternal life in Your kingdom.

Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, You willingly gave up Yourself to death so that all people might be saved and pass from death into a new life. Listen to our prayers; look with love on Your people who mourn and pray for Stella. Lord Jesus, You alone are holy and compassionate; forgive her sins. By dying, You opened the gates of life for those who believe in You; may Your perpetual light shine upon her. Receive her soul and bestow her to God, the Most High. By Your glorious power, give Stella light, joy, and peace in heaven where You live for ever and ever.

Amen.
