Eternal memory of the newly departed!

Come, let us give our last kiss, brothers and sisters, to the deceased, thanking God, for she is impoverished from her kinship, and is yearning for the grave, no one caring about the vain, and about the multi-passionate flesh. Where are your relatives and friends now? Now that we are parting, let us pray to the Lord for peace.
