UNISON PRAYER
Eternal God, we praise you for the great company
of all those who have finished their course in faith
and now rest from their labor.
We praise you for those dear to us
whom we name in our hearts before you.
Especially we praise you for Michael,
whom you have graciously received into your presence.
To all of these, grant your peace.
Let your light always shine upon them;
and help us so to believe where we have not seen,
that your presence may lead us through our years,
and bring us at last with them
into the joy of your home
not made with hands but eternal in the heavens;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
