BLESSING OF THE COFFIN
Cel: Saints of God, come to their aid!
Come to meet them, angels of the Lord!
All: Receive their souls and present them to God the Most High.
Cel: May Christ, who called you, take you both to himself,
May angels lead you to Abraham’s side.
Receive their souls and present them to God the Most High.
All:
Cel:
All:
Give them eternal rest, O Lord,
And may your light shine upon both of them forever.
Receive their souls and present them to God the Most High.
Cel: Father, into your hands we commend our brother Jim and sister Noreen.
We are confident that with all who have died in Christ, they will be raised
to life on the last day and live with Christ forever.
We thank you for the blessings you gave them in this life to show your
fatherly care for all of us, and the fellowship which is ours with all the
saints.
Lord, hear our prayer, welcome our brother Jim and sister Noreen into
Paradise and help us to comfort each other with the assurance of our
faith until we all meet in Christ to be with you and with Jim and Noreen
forever.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
Cel: Jim and Noreen, may the angels lead you into Paradise, may the martyrs
come to welcome you both and take you to the Holy City, the new and
eternal Jerusalem.
People of the Lord, go in the peace of Christ.
All: Thanks be to God.
