God of glory, you are forever faithful. With hearts fixed on the glorious splendor of your majesty we pray: 

God, raise us to new life.  

Reflect your goodness in our words and actions so present and future generations may know of your great love.  

God, raise us to new life. 

Rescue those who are entrapped in human trafficking, drug addiction, or abusive relationships. 

God, raise us to new life. 

Welcome all the faithful departed into the light of your presence.  

God, raise us to new life. 

Our Father . . .  

May God bless us with every gift of the Spirit and lead us to grow in wisdom and grace, through Jesus our brother. Amen.
