Prayers for Occassions

Prayers for the Departed

O eternal Lord God, who holdest all souls in life:
Give, we beseech thee, to thy whole Church in paradise and on earth
thy light and thy peace; and grant that we,
following the good examples of those
who have served thee here and are now at rest,
may at the last enter with them into thine unending joy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.   Amen.

or this

Almighty God, we remember this day before thee thy faithful
servant N.; and we pray that, having opened to him/her the gates
of larger life, thou wilt receive him/her more and more into thy
joyful service, that, with all who have faithfully served thee in
the past, he/she may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ
our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
