God is a God of the living. With confidence, we pray:Raise them up, O Lord!
For all the dead whom we have loved in life:
Raise them up, O Lord!
For all the dead of our parish:
Raise them up, O Lord!
For all the dead among those who have harmed us:
Raise them up, O Lord!
For all the dead whom no one remembers in prayer:
Raise them up, O Lord!
O God, in your death of your only Son, you gave life to the world. Raise up in joy all those who have died in peace or terror, in confidence or in despair, through the mercy you have shown us in Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen
