3 steps to pray at the cemetery

An example of prayer for our deceased

Here is an example of a prayer to include in a booklet, proposed by the parishes of Saint-Paul-en-Baugeois and Notre-Dame-du-Loir (Maine-et-Loire):

“Life is short and fragile, death reminds us of that.
Today, All Saints’ Day, we are in front of the tomb of X…
With love, we decorated his grave with flowers. We spend a few moments in silence.
X…, you are now in communion with us, a new communion, different from that which brought us together when you were among us. We are here to gather, remember and celebrate you.

One day, yes, we believe, you will be resurrected. And we will see you again face to face.
In this expectation, we will continue to pray for you. And you, pray for us, protect us, support us, and give us your help, because we always need you!
Let us pray together too, you and us. »
