Liberating God, in Jesus you free us from death. We humbly pray:

O God, come to our assistance.

Give courage to those who experience transition, challenging decisions, or declining health.

O God, come to our assistance.

Sharpen our thinking skills and expand our capacity for compassion.

O God, come to our assistance.

Open the gates of heaven to those who have gone before us in faith.

O God, come to our assistance.

Our Father . . .

May God increase our faith, hope, and love, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
