 death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ, that, as we have put away the old life of sin, so we may be renewed in the  spirit of our minds, and live in righteousness and true holiness;  through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you,  in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Preface of Baptism

8. For the Departed

Eternal Lord God, you hold all souls in life: Give to your whole Church in paradise and on earth your light and your  peace; and grant that we, following the good examples of  those who have served you here and are now at rest, may at  the last enter with them into your unending joy; through  Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the  unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Almighty God, we remember before you today your faithful servant N.; and we pray that, having opened to him the gates  of larger life, you will receive him more and more into your  joyful service, that, with all who have faithfully served you in  the past, he may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ  our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the  Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
