We give back to You, O God, those whom you gave us. You did not loose them when You gave them to us and we do notlose them by their return to You. Your dear Son has taught us that life is eternal and love cannot die, so death is only an horizon and an horizon is only the limit of our sight. Open our eyes to see more clearly and draw us close to You that we may know that we are nearer to our loved ones who are with you. You have told us that you are preparing a place for us; prepare us also for that happy place, that where You are we may also be always, O dear Lord of life and death.
