Father of all mercies and God of consolation, You love us eternally and transform the shadows of death into the dawn of life. Look upon our grief; be our refuge and comfort so that our sadness and sorrow may turn into the light and peace of Your presence. Grant at the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may found in His company with our brothers and sisters. There, You shall wipe away every tear. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
