Ever-faithful Father, we plead for our beloved, whose final illness has now ended. We cry out for mercy, that he would pass from this world into the next, surrounded by your angels. Wipe away all tears from his face, and enfold him in your embrace, we pray. May he awake to everlasting life. Surely you have ransomed him from the power of the grave, and you have redeemed him from death. We praise you, for you are the resurrection and the life. Amen.
