O God, almighty Father, our faith professes that your Son died and rose again; mercifully grant that your servants who have fallen asleep in Christ, may rejoice to rise again though Him. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. \u00a0Amen.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
