God of love whose compassion never fails we bring to you the sufferings of all mankind but especially the sorrows of the bereaved. Strengthen and comfort them according to their needs and of your great mercy

A prayer for the sick...

O God the giver of life and health we pray for all who suffer. Through the skill and understanding of those who have the ability to assist their recovery, may they by your mercy be restored to health of body and mind.

O God our Father we thank you for all the good things of life. Help us to see and remember them all that our lives may be lived in ceaseless praise, through Jesus Christ our Lord
