A Gift for My Loved Ones

Another Gift for My Loved Ones

O relatives and close ones of the dead! Do for them what is needful for them and within your power. Use your money not for outward adornment of the coffin and grave, but in order to help those in need, in memory of your close ones who have died, for churches, where prayers for them are offered. Show mercy to the dead, take care of their souls.

- St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco
