A Prayer For The Dead

Father in Heaven, Your might gives us life, Your care directs our paths, and by Your will, we return to the earth. Lord, those who pass from this life continue to exist in Your sight; their earthly journey may end, yet their essence remains. I lift up in hopeful prayer my family, friends, and all those departed known only to You. In unity with Christ, who has passed through death and now reigns, may they find joy in Your eternal realm, where every sorrow is soothed. Bring us together once more as one family, that we may endlessly glorify Your name.Amen.
