Grant that our brother may sleep here in peace until you awaken him to glory, for you are the resurrection and the life.
Trusting in God, we have prayed together for our brother and now we come to the last farewell. There is sadness in parting, but we take comfort in the hope that one day we shall see him again and enjoy his friendship. Although we will disperse in sorrow, the mercy of God will gather us together again in the joy of his kingdom. Therefore, let us console one another in the faith of Jesus Christ.
