with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.

I commend you, my dear brother/sister,
to almighty God,

come to meet you as you go forth from this life.
May Christ who was crucified for you
bring you freedom and peace.

admit you into his garden of paradise.

Acknowledge you as one of his flock.
May He forgive all your sins,
And set you among those He has chosen.

And enjoy the vision of God for ever.
