IMAR Prayer Resources

Prayers for the Aging  
Lord Jesus Christ, you heard the prayers of your two disciples at Emmaus and stayed with them at eventide. Stay, we pray you, with all your people in the evening of their life. Make yourself known to them, and let your light shine upon their path; and whenever they pass through the valley of the shadow of death, be with them to the end. This we ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Room Blessing is used when each Sister moves into our facility.  The Moderator and Pastoral Care Director lead the prayer.  The sister is asked to recite the blessing if she is able to do so.  We pray the Our Father together.  In our case we end by singing The Good God.  The Sister is given a printed copy of the blessing to hang in her room.
