Guest S.U.S.S. Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7046808.stm Balkan pop star dies in car crash Proeski's fame transcended ethnic divisions in the Balkans Macedonian pop star Tose Proeski, a hugely popular singer in the Balkans, has died in a car crash in Croatia. Proeski sang for Macedonia in the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest and won many awards in former Yugoslavia. Police said the 26-year-old's car was in a collision with a lorry on a motorway near the eastern Croatian town of Nova Gradiska. In the Macedonian capital Skopje people wept in the streets. A day of national mourning will be held on Wednesday. Local radio stations started playing Proeski's songs back-to-back. When the car crashed Proeski was asleep in the passenger seat "We all have been blessed with such a great singer and with his immense soul filled with love," Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski said. "Macedonia and the Balkans lost an angel," said the head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Stefan. Two other people in Proeski's car were injured. Proeski started his career aged 15, releasing his first album at 18. I'm in shock. Macedonia has lost its greatest cultural ambassador Vojo Mihajloski, Tetovo, Macedonia He had several number one hits in four former Yugoslav republics - Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Croatia. Among Proeski's hits were Cija Si (Whose Are You?) and Ako me poglednes vo oci (If You Look Me In The Eyes). He sang both in Macedonian and in Serbian and was seen as a bridge between people in a region often divided by ethnic hatreds, correspondents say. Sadly someone who could have helped bring these people together will now not be able to further his good work. Perhaps in death he can do so.

i8hibsh Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Remember, Lord, your compassion and love, for they are everlasting. Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions, but think on me in your goodness, O Lord, according to your steadfast love. Christ, have mercy. [All Christ, have mercy.] O keep my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I have put my trust in you. Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] 9 Lord Jesus, you have shown us the way to the Father: Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] Lord Jesus, your word is a light to our path: Christ, have mercy. [All Christ, have mercy.] Lord Jesus, you are the good shepherd, leading us into everlasting life: Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] 10 Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] Who forgives all your sin and heals all your infirmities: Christ, have mercy. [All Christ, have mercy.] Who saves your life from destruction and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness: Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] 11 Out of the depths I cry to you: Lord, hear my voice. Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] If you should mark what is done amiss: who may abide it? Christ, have mercy. [All Christ, have mercy.] Trust in the Lord, for with him there is mercy: for with him is ample redemption. Lord, have mercy. [All Lord, have mercy.] Absolutions 12 May the God of love bring us back to himself, forgive us our sins and assure us of his eternal love in Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. The following absolution is particularly appropriate when the Funeral service is set within Holy Communion 13 May God our Father forgive us our sins and bring us to the fellowship of his table with his saints for ever. All Amen. Collects for Funeral and Memorial Services 14 Merciful Father, hear our prayers and comfort us; renew our trust in your Son, whom you raised from the dead; strengthen our faith that [N and N] all who have died in the love of Christ will share in his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you, now and for ever. All Amen. 15 Eternal God, our maker and redeemer, grant us [with N] and all the faithful departed the sure benefits of your Son's saving passion and glorious resurrection: that, in the last day, when you gather up all things in Christ, we may with them enjoy the fullness of your promises; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. All Amen. Thanksgiving for the Life of the Departed 16 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us all with the gift of this earthly life and has given to our brother/sister N his/her span of years and gifts of character. God our Father, we thank you now for all his/her life, for every memory of love and joy, for every good deed done by him/her and every sorrow shared with us. We thank you for his/her life and for his/her death, we thank you for the rest in Christ he/she now enjoys, we thank you for giving him/her to us, we thank you for the glory we shall share together. Hear our prayers through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. 17 Merciful Father and Lord of all life, we praise you that we are made in your image and reflect your truth and light. We thank you for the life of your child N , for the love he/she received from you and showed among us. Above all, we rejoice at your gracious promise to all your servants, living and departed, that we shall rise again at the coming of Christ. And we ask that in due time we may share with our brother/sister that clearer vision, when we shall see your face in the same Christ our Lord. All Amen. 18 Lord of all, we praise you for all who have entered into their rest and reached the promised land where you are seen face to face. Give us grace to follow in their footsteps as they followed in the way of your Son. Thank you for the memory of those you have called to yourself: by each memory, turn our hearts from things seen to things unseen, and lead us till we come to the eternal rest you have prepared for your people, through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. 19 Father in heaven, we praise your name for all who have finished this life loving and trusting you, for the example of their lives, the life and grace you gave them, and the peace in which they rest. We praise you today for your servant N and for all that you did through him/her. Meet us in our sadness and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving, for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ. All Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
