Nana

A cream shawl rests on an empty armchair beside a small table with a candle.
Love can reach toward those we never had the chance to know.

God look after my nanna, my nanna that I did not know. God look after all those relatives that people have lost. We understand that we have nothing to fear, for you watch over them and us, as well as others that are dear. Please help the people in purgatory or heaven to keep their faith and not lose sight of God. We shall soon see them again in the return of Jesus as we arrive in the Kingdom of God. Bless us and cleanse us of any sins, Amen.
