You have preserved him from birth until this time. Now, my last request over him is that you grant him a peaceful death.

As much as I want him to live longer, I choose to submit to your will. And if that will is that you call him home now, I pray that you make it as painless and peaceful as possible so that when he closes his eyes in eternal rest, I will see a smile instead of a frown.

Lord, this will assure me that he is resting in your bosom.

Even though she will soon pass from this life, I ask that you save her soul from eternal damnation by convicting her to receive you into her heart.

Make her spiritually ready to meet you in glory with all sins confessed, having a pure conscience and spotless garment. Give her a peaceful end so she may rest certain in the hope that the perishable will be clothed with the imperishable as she places her faith in Jesus, who conquered death.

When she closes her eyes in death, may she know she is surrounded by your angels and waiting to be received by you.

Give him peace as he transitions to eternal life. Fill him with the hope of beholding your glorious sight in Heaven.

Take away every sad feeling from his heart. Instead of being depressed about those he will leave behind, give him the grace to look forward with eagerness to the time he will see Jesus face to face. May this hope fill his heart with peace and grant him the courage to face death bravely.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
