Priest: My brothers and sisters, Christ is risen from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father, when he intercedes for us. In confidence, we now join our prayers to his prayers as we pray for our brother Jeffrey. The response to each prayer will be: Lord hear our prayer.
1. In baptism, our brother Jeffrey was given the pledge of eternal life. May he now be admitted to the company of the saints. We pray to the Lord.
2. For our brother, who ate the body of Christ, the bread of life, that he may be raised up on the last day. We pray to the Lord.
3. For Jeffrey’s family and friends, that they may be sustained by their faith and by the knowledge that they will be reunited with their sister one day in God’s heavenly Kingdom. We pray to the Lord.
4. Many friends and members of our families have gone before us and await the Kingdom. Grant them an everlasting home with your Son. We pray to the Lord.
5. Many people die by violence, war, and famine each day. Show you mercy to those who suffer so unjustly there sins against your love. Gather them to the eternal kingdom of peace. We pray to the Lord.
Priest: Lord God, giver of peace and healer of souls, hear the prayers of our Redeemer and the voices of your people. Grant all those who sleep in Christ a place in your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
