	Cross	"And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." --Mark 10:16
	Invitatory Bead	They have taken my child from my heart and laid my gift in the ground.
	Cruciform Bead	"As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you;..." --Isaiah 66:13
	Week Beads	Make the wind to blow upon my face     that I may feel my child's sweet breath. Make your hand to touch upon my breast     that I may feel my child's warm body. Make your lips to whisper in my ear     that I may hear the sound of my child's     voice. Make your eyes to lay upon my sorrow     that I may remember my child's face. Make your angels to sing for me     that I may hear my child's laughter. Make your heavens to shine bright above     that I may hold onto my child's love. Make the sun to lighten up this darkness     that I may be at peace.
	Exit Cross	Most Gracious Lord, I give you thanks for the gift that was given to me through the love of this child. Grant me now, the gift of peace as I lay my child in your loving arms. May I in time come to hold true in my heart the knowledge of union again with my beloved one. In the name of our most precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
