Prayers for the Dead

Our help is in the name of the Lord.

Who made heaven and earth.

Our Father...

Give us today...

Merciful Lord, you know that we are struck by grief and sorrow, at the departure of our dear N., for his eternal reward. Your Son has said: “Come to me all you who are heavy laden. I will give you rest.” Relying on this promise we ask you to hear our cry for help. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Antiphon: May the holy name of the one who raises the dead receive praise and adoration.

Psalm 130: Out of the depths I cry to you O, Lord...

Lord, we pray that we may constantly receive your loving mercy and forgiveness of all our sins and failings. May the grace and blessing of the holy Triune God come to the aid of our dear N.. We ask this in the name of the One who is our resurrection and life.

Amen.

Accept him, O Lord, accept him into your loving embrace.

Let those days of sin, strife and misery be forgotten.

Accept him, my Lord.

We have gone after many worldly pursuits; we are not worthy to be counted among your children.

Accept him, O Lord.

Lord, as you have accepted the offerings of Noah, Abraham and Isaac,

Accept him, O Lord.

Lord, as your Son’s apostles offered their lives as living sacrifice.

Accept him, O Lord, into your fold.

Let us pray.

Lord, you gave new life to Lazarus. On the Day of Judgment may your servant and our brother be able to hear the voice of your calling and may he be given a place on your right hand side. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lord, bless all those who have taken part in this service. May your grace always rest

on your chosen ones. May the blessing of Almighty God be with you all forever and

ever. Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

And let perpetual light shine on him.

May (s)he rest in peace. Amen.
