A Prayer for  Those Who Have Died

God of Consolation
We remember those wo have died.
For those who passed away quietly,
We ask for a joyful passage
into your spacious heart.

For those who suffered great pain,
We ask for respite
and the comfort of your
compassionate embrace.

For those who died too soon,
in sudden and unexpected ways,
We ask for peace and surrender
into your loving care.

Grant all those who have died the grace of your
eternal light and love. Amen.
