Lord Jesus, our Redeemer,

you willingly gave yourself up to death so that all people might be saved and pass from death into a new life.

Listen to our prayers, look with love on your people who mourn and pray for Fr Jim.

Lord Jesus, holy and compassionate, forgive his sins.

By dying you opened the gates of life for those who believe in you.

Do not let our brother be parted from you, but by your glorious power give him light, joy and peace in heaven

where you live for ever and ever.

AMEN.

May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
