Let us also pray for all who mourn, that they may cast their 
care on God, and know the consolation of his love.

*Silence may be kept; after which the Celebrant says*

Almighty God, look with pity upon the sorrows of your 
servants for whom we pray.  Remember them, Lord, in your mercy; 
nourish them with patience; comfort them with a sense of your 
goodness; lift up your countenance upon them; and give them 
peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.


*If the Burial service is not to follow immediately, the body is then 
brought into the church, during which time a suitable psalm or anthem 
may be sung or said.  Appropriate devotions, such as those appointed for 
the Vigil on page 465, may follow.*

*When the order for the Burial of the Dead follows immediately, the 
service continues on page 469 or 491.*

*A member of the congregation bearing the lighted Paschal Candle may 
lead the procession into the church.*
