Almighty God, in whose hands are death and life, grant to us life eternal, the life that is being one with you as you are one with the Son and Holy Spirit, that we might be with you in eternity, safe from all that would tear us away from you, our source of all that is good, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ‘I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.’ – John 10:28
