Final Farewell
Cel :
Our brother Don has fallen asleep in Christ . Confident in our hope of eternal life , let us commend him to the loving mercy of our Father and let our prayers go with him . He was adopted as God ’ s son in baptism and was nourished at the table of the Lord ; may he now inherit the promise of eternal life and take his place at the table of God ’ s children in heaven .
Let us pray also on our own behalf , that we who now mourn and are saddened may one day go forth with our brother to meet the Lord of life when he appears in glory .
All pray in silence and the body is incensed .
