God, as Mary stood at the foot of the cross, we stand before you with broken hearts and tearful eyes. Keep us mindful that you know our pain, and free us to see your resurrection power already at work in N.’s life. In your time, raise us from our grief as you have raised N. to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

emember N., Holy God, with the favor you have shown to your people in ages past, that s/he may increase in the knowledge and love of you and go from strength to strength in a new life of perfect service in your eternal reign; through Jesus Christ, the Servant and Savior of all. Amen.

Holy God, in your creating power you renew the face of the earth and call those who sleep in death to awake to new life with you.  Wake this sleeper, N. who has died in time of conflict after giving his/her dedicated service for us, and her/his country.  Keep him/her in that place of light and safety where fear and dread are banished and where your beloved children enjoy your full Presence until that time when they are united again with all those whom they love.  We ask this in your holy and life-giving Name. Amen.
