How to pray for the death of a loved one

Many times, the reality of life is difficult to accept, above all when a loved one dies.

Their disappearance makes us feel a great loss. And, usually, this happens because we consider death to be the end of a person's earthly and eternal existence. But is not so!

We should see death as that means by which we transcend from this earthly realm to the realm of our lovely and loving Father.

When we understand this, we will not feel the loss even more painfully because our deceased loved ones are alive with Jesus Christ.

"25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live; 26 whoever lives and believes in me will not die forever. Do you believe this?". (John 11: 25-26).

Here is a prayer to say for the loss of a deceased loved one.

“Our Heavenly Father, our family prays that You will find mercy for the soul of our brother (or sister) and friend (or friend).

We pray that after his unexpected death his soul may find peace because he (she) lived a good life and did his best to serve his family, workplace and loved ones while on earth. .

We also seek, sincerely, the forgiveness of all his sins and all his shortcomings. May he (she) find the assurance that his family will remain strong and steadfast in serving the Lord as he (she) advances on his journey to eternal life with Christ, his Lord and Savior.

Dear Father, take his soul into your kingdom and let the perpetual light shine on him (her), may he rest in peace. Amen".
