From Anam Cara, by John O ¢â‚¬â„¢Donohue:

 ¢â‚¬ËœA blessing for death ¢â‚¬â„¢

I pray that you will have the blessing
of being consoled and sure about your own death.
May you know in your soul that there is no need
to be afraid.

When you time comes, may you be given every
blessing and shelter that you need.
May there be a beautiful welcome for you in the
home that you are going to.
You are not going somewhere strange. You are
going back to the home that you never left.
May you have a wonderful urgency to live your
life to the full.
May you live compassionately and creatively
and transfigure everything that is negative
within you and about you.
When you come to die may it be after a long life.
May you be peaceful and happy and in the
presence of those who really care for you.

May your going be sheltered and your welcome
assured.

May your soul smile in the embrace of your
anam cara (soul friend).
