Please pray for Deacon James F. Ambury, M.D., SFO, who died earlier this week and was buried to day. Eternal memory to Dr. Ambury!
Dr. Ambury was as wonderful and kind a human being as you will ever meet on this earth.
My Franciscan brothers and sisters will miss Dr. Ambury, and will remember him fondly when we gather this Sunday afternoon to meet and have Vespers and Benediction.

May the angels take him into Paradise, may the Martyrs come to welcome him, and may he, with the once poor Lazarus, have Eternal Life!
Grant rest among the Saints O Lord to the servant of the Holy Altar, the Deacon James and may forgive him all his sins. May the Lord remember him forever!
In the Risen Lord Jesus,
+Fr. Gregory
+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who asks for your holy prayers!

O Lord, receive the soul of Your servant, Deacon James, who has departed from this earthly place to repose in Your Bosom; lead his soul to rest in a place of light, happiness, and peace, where there is neither pain nor suffering, neither grief nor sighing, but only life everlasting. And as You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, remember his years of service to You and to Your people, and forgive him every sin he has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for there is not a man who lives and does not sin, for You alone are without sin and You are the Resurrection and the Life.
Holy and Sainted Proto-Martyr Stephen, you who art the Proto-Deacon and Patron of those who serve this Holy Office, meet and vest your brother, James, at Heaven's Gate, that he may serve Our Lord God, the Great Priest, at the Heavenly Altar.
