We always pray for those who have died and we do so with special devotion
in November, the month of All Souls.
You might pause for a moment and
remember, perhaps even write down,
the names of those who have died for
whom you want to pray.
Then pray these words from the 1969 Funeral
Rite:
Peace be with those who have left us,
with those who have gone to God.
May they be at peace.
May they be with God.
May they be at peace.
May they be with God.
May they be with the living God.
May they be with the immortal God.
May they be in God's strong arms
and gentle hands.
May they sleep in peace.
May they live in peace.
May they be where the name of God is great.
May they be with the living God now and on the day of judgment.
May they live with God.
May they live in eternal light.
May they live in the peace of the Lord.
May they live forever in peace,
With God in peace.
...................................................................
Protect us, Lord, while we're awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Deep Peace by John Rutter, performed by Libera
