Lord Jesus, our Redeemer,
You willingly gave Yourself up to death
so that all people might be saved
and pass from death into a new life.
Listen to our prayers;
look with love on Your people
who mourn and pray for their dead brother/sister.
Lord Jesus, You alone are holy and compassionate;
forgive our brother/sister his/her sins.

By dying You opened the gates of life
for those who believe in You;
do not let Your brother/sister be parted from You,
but by Your glorious power give him/her light,
joy, and peace in heaven
where You live for ever and ever.

Amen.
