In peace, let us pray to the Lord.

Almighty God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of thy Son  Christ our Lord:  Grant, we beseech thee, to thy whole  Church in paradise and on earth, thy light and thy peace. Amen.

Grant that all who have been baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection may die to sin and rise to newness of life, and  that through the grave and gate of death we may pass with  him to our joyful resurrection. Amen.
