Eternal God,
you made the union of man and woman
a sign of the bond between Christ and his church.
Grant peace and mercy to ___,
who was united in love with ___.
May the care and devotion of her life on earth
find a lasting reward in heaven.
Look kindly on her children,
family and friends
as they turn to your compassion and love.
Strengthen their faith and lighten their loss.
We pray, in the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen.
