O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant, FATHER DAVID NOBLE, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving him the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name. We beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to forget his faults, admitting him speedily into Thy Holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labors. This we ask through Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

***

Father of mercies and God of all consolation, You pursue us with untiring love and dispel the shadow of death with the bright dawn of light. 

Comfort FATHER BRUCE in his loss and sorrow.

Be his refuge and his strength, O Lord, and lift him from the depths of grief into the peace and light of Your Presence.  We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

***

Eternal rest, grant unto FR. DAVID, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon him.

May he rest in peace. Amen.
