While I am not Roman Catholic (yet), I want to congratulate roachie and ventana for their bold steps of faith. I hope it is not out of turn to include an Anglican prayer that is a treasure to me. I hope I don't offend by posting it here, but it is really the only thing I have to offer:

O God, the King of saints, we praise and magnify thy holy Name for all thy servants who have finished their course in thy faith and fear; for the Blessed Virgin Mary; for the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs; and for all other thy righteous servants, known to us and unknown; and we beseech thee that, encouraged by their examples, aided by their prayers, and strengthened by their fellowship, we also may be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through the merits of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

That deserves a Pre-Raphaelite angel.

[Salvation]

Beautiful prayer, thanks.

[chatham]

A very beautiful prayer,thanks.

Just like the Marines the Catholic Church "Needs a few good Men" (or women).

What a beautiful prayer, thank you for posting it. I'll do it again if you don't mind!

O God, the King of saints, we praise and magnify thy holy Name for all thy servants who have finished their course in thy faith and fear; for the Blessed Virgin Mary; for the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs; and for all other thy righteous servants, known to us and unknown; and we beseech thee that, encouraged by their examples, aided by their prayers, and strengthened by their fellowship, we also may be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through the merits of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
