From the Book of Wisdom, Chapter 3:
The souls of the just are in the hand of God.
No torment shall touch them now.
Gracious and merciful God, on this day of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter, we pray in gratitude for the witness of his life. He lived with generosity, courage, integrity, and joy. He loved his God, and he loved his neighbor. May each one of us honor his memory by taking inspiration from his dedication to all, regardless of race or creed. May we act courageously to continue his work for the good of humanity by encouraging love, mercy, and justice in all that we do. And may he now rest in Your loving embrace, along with the love of his life, Rosalynn. We ask this in Your name.—AMEN.
