Siloah Cemetery Historical Marker Dedication Prayer

Let us pray….

God of Abraham and Moses, Lord of the living, who visited Jesus within his grave and filled Him with the fullness of eternal life,

Hear our prayers this day as we come to Siloah Cemetery.

As we bless this historical marker, we give thanks that the names of these loved ones buried here have been written for all ages in the palm of Your hand.

May the breath of creation that surrounds Siloah – the trees, the grass, the birds, the wind, and the sun – join us today in prayer.

May the dedication remind us of what our faith teaches – that our souls do not die, but rather are transformed into new life through Christ.

Lord, with reverence, we leave our prayers and love at these graves, and we remember in faith the reality of that Easter morning when all the dead shall rise in the splendor of Your glory.

We place this prayer before you through Christ our Lord. Amen
