In Loving Memory

Sara Lu Miller Morrison

December 29, 1927 — September 26, 2026

Be not afraid elaborate You shall cross the barren desert But you shall not die of thirst You shall wander far in safety Though you do not know the way You shall speak your words to foreign men And they will understand You shall see the face of God and live Be not afraid I go before you always Come, follow me And I will give you rest If you pass through raging waters in the sea You shall not drown If you walk amid the burning flames You shall not be harmed If you stand before the power of hell And death is at your side Know that I am with you through it all Be not afraid I go before you always Come, follow me And I will give you rest And blessed are your poor For the kingdom shall be theirs Blessed are you that weep and mourn For one day you shall laugh And if wicked men insult and hate you All because of me Blessed, blessed are you Be not afraid I go before you always Come, follow me And I will give you rest Composed by Bob Dufford, St. Louis Jesuit priest

Ava Maria HymnFrisk Miller

Ava Maria

Ave Maria! Maiden mild! Listen to a maiden’s prayer! Thou canst hear though from the wild, Thou canst save amid despair. Safe may we sleep beneath thy care, Though banished, outcast and reviled — Maiden! hear a maiden’s prayer; Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! undefiled! The flinty couch we now must share Shall seem this down of eider piled, If thy protection hover there. The murky cavern’s heavy air Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled; Then, maiden! hear a maiden’s prayer; Mother, list a suppliant child! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! stainless styled! Foul demons of the earth and air, From this their wonted haunt exiled, Shall flee before thy presence fair. We bow us to our lot of care, Beneath thy guidance reconciled; Hear for a maid a maiden’s prayer, And for a father hear a child! Ave Maria! (Franz Schubert)
