Closing Prayer (Preface at a funeral Mass)

Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well

always and everywhere to give you thanks through

Jesus Christ our Lord.

In him who rose from the dead, our hope of

resurrection dawned. The sadness of death gives

way to the bright promise of immortality.

Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not

ended. When the body of our earthly dwelling lies in

death, we gain an everlasting dwelling place in

heaven.

And so, with the choirs of angels in heaven, we

proclaim your glory, and join in their unending hymn

of praise. Amen
