God, lover of souls,
You hold dear what You have made and spare all things,
for they are Yours.
Look gently upon Your servant (Name),
and by the Blood of the cross
forgive his/her sins and failings.
Remember the faith of those who mourn
and satisfy their longing for that day
when all will be made new again in Christ,
our risen Lord,
who lives and reigns with You forever and ever.

Amen.
