A Prayer for The Honorable Lorraine Weil

Lorraine Weil was a Catholic Biblical School student in her second year of study. She died unexpectedly on Sunday.

The funeral will be held at St. Joan of Arc Church in Hamden, Friday, May 1, 10:00 am. Calling hours are Thursday from 5:00-8:00 pm at the North Haven Funeral Home.

We mourn our loss and celebrate her joy in the arms of Jesus.

Her classmate, Peter Thomas, honors her with this prayer. May we all pray together for Lorraine, for her husband and family, and for all the deceased of the Hartford Catholic Biblical School:


Dear Lord, As we gather together as sisters and brothers in faith, we ask that you send your spirit to wrap us in a blanket of Grace. We ask you to comfort us as we learn to accept your decision to call Lorraine away from us and all who love her. She was a blessing in all our lives and showed us how to graciously and gracefully overcome life's challenges with a warm smile, piercing wisdom and a giving heart. Please be with her closest friends and her cherished family. Let her revel in the infinite joy, knowledge and peace of being with you in your kingdom. Finally, lead us in ways that will bring us all to be with you and her when you call us to your palace. Amen.

Rest in Peace, dear friend.
