Fr Vincent :
All :
Eternal rest grant unto her , O Lord , and let perpetual light shine on her .
Receive her soul and present her to God the most high .
PRAYER OF COMMENDATION Fr Vincent :
All : Amen .
Into your hands , Father of mercies , we commend our sister Lyn in the sure and certain hope that , together with all who have died in Christ , she will rise with Him on the last day .
We give you thanks for the blessings which you bestowed upon Lyn in this life : they are signs to us of your goodness and of our fellowship with the saints in Christ .
Merciful Lord , turn toward us and listen to our prayers : open the gates of paradise to your servant Lyn and help us who remain to comfort one another with assurances of faith , until we all meet in Christ and are with you and with our sister for ever .
We ask this through Christ our Lord .
Fr Vincent :
In peace , let us take our sister ' s body to her final place of rest here on Earth .
