Prayer for All Souls

God of everlasting life,
In your abundant love, you give us the gift of life. Strengthen our faith in the resurrection of your Son, and our hope of rising to new life in him.

To us who are living, grant forgiveness; to all who have died, your light and peace.

May our belief that Jesus rose from the dead console all who mourn, trusting that we will live with him forever in joy.

Amen.
