O loving Lord Jesus Christ, you wept at the death of your friend, Lazarus, and had pity at the sorrow of his sisters Mary and Martha. In your great mercy remember all those who have died, especially those I remember with love today (...). Lord, You dealt tenderly with the Widow of Naim over the death of her son, and You prayed with the family of Jarius when his daughter had died. I ask You to heal the sorrow of any family member or friend who has recently lost someone dear (...) and to strengthen in them Your gift of hope in life everlasting. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord -- and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
