(Another) Prayer for the Departed

Almighty God, we remember before you today your faithful

servant N.; and we pray that, having opened to him the gates

of larger life, you will receive him more and more into your

joyful service, that, with all who have faithfully served you in

the past, he may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ

our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the

Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

(BCP 253)
