It is truly right
and just, proper and helpful toward salvation, that we always and everywhere give thanks to You, O Lord, holy Father, almighty
and eternal God, through Christ our Lord. In the same Christ the hope of a blessed resurrection has dawned for us, bringing
all who are under the certain, sad sentence of death the consoling promise of future immortality. For those who have
been faithful, O Lord, life is not ended, but merely changed; and when this earthly abode dissolves, an eternal dwelling place
awaits them in heaven.
Eternal rest grant them O Lord and let perpetual light
shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
