Rest In Peace

In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with
your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command, we return to dust.
Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone. In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen.
