Lord #Jesus,
we commend to you all those who have died,
especially those who, in their lifetime,
shared in the sacred ministry:
let them praise you for ever in heaven.

~ Be near us, Lord, this evening.

#Christ Blessing by J. Kirk Richards

Through the pastors of your Church
you give your sheep eternal life
and no one can steal them from you;
save the #FaithfulDeparted for whom you laid down your life.

~ Lord #Jesus save your people

Father, you exalted the Virgin Mary
& crowned her queen of heaven;
may the dead enter your kingdom
& rejoice with your saints for ever.

~ May the Virgin Mary intercede for us.
