Lord Jesus Christ,
by Your own three days in the tomb,
You hallowed the graves of all who believe in you
and so made the grave
a sign of hope
that promises resurrection
even as it claims our mortal bodies.
Grant that our brother, Father Phil,
may sleep in peace
until you awaken him to glory,
for You are the resurrection and the life.
Then he will see you face to face
and in Your light will see light
and know the splendour of God,
for You live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
