Lord God, ever caring and gentle,
we commit to Your love this little one,
quickened to life for so short a time.
Enfold him/her in eternal life.
We pray for his/her parents
who are saddened by the loss of their child.
Give them courage
and help them in their pain and grief.
May they all meet one day
in the joy and peace of Your kingdom.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
