</div> <div>Prayers you may find helpful to use</div> <div>Into your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brother Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In this life you embraced him with your tender love and opened to him the gate of heaven. The old order has passed away, as you welcome him into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen</div><div>

</div> <div>Most merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding, surround the Queen and the Royal Family with your love, that they may not be overwhelmed by their loss, but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the days to come. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.</div><div>

</div> <div>Attached are some prayers and reflections on grieving and how Prince Philip’s death may affect us particularly as we have been through so much during this Covid pandemic. There will be printed copies available at church.</div>
