On the morning of 17 August, after Brother Roger’s death, the following prayer was read in the church:
“Christ of compassion, You enable us to be in communion with those who have gone before us, and who can remain so close to us. We confide into Your hands our Brother Roger. He already contemplates the Invisible. In his footsteps, You are preparing us to welcome a radiance of Your brightness.”
God, may we follow in the footsteps of your servant Brother Roger, as he followed in the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth. May our lives not be concerned for our own interests but for your kingdoms' interests, and for the interests of others. Thank you for lives like Br. Roger's that have been used to further your kingdom here on Earth. Amen.
