Father of all mercies and God of consolations, you love us eternally and transform the shadows of death into the dawn of life. Look upon our grief, be a refuge, and our comfort so that our sadness and our sorrow may turn into the light and peace of your presence. In dying, your son destroyed death, in rising, he restored life. Grant that at the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may be found in his company with our brothers and sisters. There, you shall wipe away every tear. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
