Remembering Those Who Have Passed

"I am the resurrection and the life."

— John 11:25

God of life,

I remember those who have passed. My deceased loved ones, those I loved, those I miss. Death is a painful separation.

Welcome them into Your eternal peace. Console those who mourn, comfort those who grieve. May death not be an end but a passage to You.

May I honor their memory by living well. By loving as they loved me, by passing on what they gave me, by keeping their memory alive.

Amen.

Reflection

Whose memory do you want to honor today? How does their memory live in you?

For all the deceased and for those who are grieving.
