Prayer For the Absent

We humbly beseech thee graciously to behold and bless those whom we love, now absent from us.

O God,

whose fatherly care reacheth to the uttermost parts of the earth.

We humbly beseech thee graciously to behold and bless those whom we love, now absent from us.

Defend them from all dangers of soul and body;

and grant that both they and we, drawing nearer to thee,

may be bound together by thy love in the communion of thy Holy Spirit, and in the fellowship of thy saints;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
