that recalls her baptism, of which Saint Paul writes "All of us who were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death. Through baptism into his death we were buried with him, but just as Christ was raised from the dead, by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. ()

I ask the family to come forward to place the cloth.

FGS: On the day of her baptism, Mary put on white, and on the day of Christ's coming, may she be clothed with glory. ()

God, you have called your daughter Mary from this life.
Father of all mercy, fulfil her faith and hope in you,
and lead her safely home to heaven, to be happy with you forever.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your son,
who lives and reigns with you and the holy spirit,
one God forever and ever
