In your hands, O Lord,

we humbly entrust our mother and father.

In this life you embraced them with your tender love;

deliver them now from every evil

and bid them eternal rest.

The old order has passed away:

welcome them into paradise,

where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,

but the fullness of peace and joy

with your Son and the Holy Spirit

forever and ever.

Amen.
