ABT Synod - For Those Who Mourn

Mary Louise Rostad

 

The following notification is being sent from the Synod office on behalf of Bishop Larry.


Bishop Larry invites your prayers for the family and friends of Mary Louise Rostad, widow of Pastor Edward Rostad who died this past December.  Mary Rostad died peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, September 9, 2021; her funeral will take place Monday, September 27, 2021, at the United Church in Coronation.

Those wishing to view the funeral online may find a link here, along with an obituary. 

"Lord, now let your servant go in peace for my eyes have seen your salvation." (Luke 2:29)

Perhaps the following might guide our prayer:

"Eternal God, your love is stronger than death, and your passion more fierce than the grave.  We rejoice in the lives of those whom you have drawn into your eternal embrace.  Keep us in joyful communion with them until we join the saints of every people and nation gathered before your throne in your ceaseless praise, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen." (EvLW: Life Passages, page 82) 

"Almighty God, we give you heartfelt thanks for the grace you have granted to Mary Rostad, and to all who have finished their course in faith and now rest from their labors.  Raise us with them from death to life, that when we die we may rest in our Redeemer, receive the inheritance prepared for us from the beginning of the world, and find perfect fulfillment and joy in your everlasting glory; through Jesus our Saviour and Lord.  Amen."   (EvLW:  Occasional Services for the Assembly, page 352)


Blessings,
