Quote after Larch's funeral


Was the prayer that Jane Alexander said after Dr. Larch's funeral original from the book or was it a quote from another source?

It's by Cardinal Newman i believe

Yes, that's right. (nothing like responding to a post three years later!)

it's Cardinal Newman's prayer of support:

"O Lord, support us all the day long,
until the shadows lengthen,
and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.

Then in your mercy,
grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest,
and peace at the last. Amen."
