All mighty father, eternal god, hear our prayers for our son Sonny whom you have called from this life to yourself. Grant him light, happiness, and peace. Let him pass in safety through the gates of death, and live forever with all of your saints in the light you promised to Abraham and to all his descendants in faith. Guard him from all harm and on that great day of resurrection and reward raise him up with all of your saints. Pardon his sins and give him eternal life in your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
