Let us close our service here by uniting our thought in reciting the Lord's Prayer: "Our

Father, which art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as

we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For

thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

•

In this moment we are ready to pray. I am here Lord. How I came to be and what shall

be is a mystery to me, but I know I am here with thee. It is the soul that goes on, the

spirit to whom we wish God speed. We are not dismayed that what appears to be, fades

away; that which is, lives eternally.

Amen

The coffin has been sealed, and now we must say “AMEN”. I wonder if you know that

amen means “sealed in faithfulness”. We have the faith to know that _________ is not in

there, but in here and here and everywhere the presence of God, of Life is to be found.

AMEN. Our words in prayer are sealed with an AMEN, because they are spoken in faith,

in love, in truth. Our thought is complete, our love is perfect. Nothing can be added to this

moment, nor taken from it; so we seal it with an AMEN. God has blessed us with the

presence of _____________, and for that we are eternally grateful. AMEN.
