Just as Jesus mourned the death of his friend, Lazarus, so we mourn those who have died.

We mark this day thinking about the gift they have been to us; the difference they still make to our lives and we offer this traditional prayer:  (AVAILABLE HERE AS A 1:00 VIDEO)

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. AMEN.
