Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the laws of Christ
~Galatians 6:2
O Lord, who watches over little children in this present life and in the life which is to come because of their simplicity of mind and innocence, satisfying them in Abraham’s bosom and bringing them to brightly radiant places where the spirits of the righteous dwell: Receive in peace the soul of they servant, the child (name), for thou thyself hast said: Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. For thou art the Resurrection and the Life and the Repose of thy departed servant (name), O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with thine unoriginate Father and thine all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Few things in this life are more difficult to bear than the loss of a cherished loved unborn child. With this in mind, Fr. Aidan and Fr. Andrew have blessed the Myrrhbearers to offer a Service of Prayer After a Miscarriage or Stillbirth to any St John member who suffers this loss.
For these family members, we are able to offer the following support:
Light Refreshments
For families who have suffered an early miscarriage or still birth
a Service of Prayer After a Miscarriage or Stillbirth
Light refreshments to be sent home with the family following the prayer service
The Church’s prayer service for an infant lost at a later stage may be different, and support for this can be addressed in individual circumstances.
——————-
The offering of the prayer service and communal support is an act of mercy, and a beautiful way we can bear each other’s burdens. We hope it provides you with comfort, and hope in the universal resurrection!
