"O Lord, we remember those who have died this year, and we pray for their joyful reunion with you, their loving creator. Lord, as you command, we reach out to the fallen. We call on you on behalf of those we could not reach this year. You raised your son from the dead that all may share in his joyful resurrection." In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
