kia koa matau i to whakaahurutanga
me te mohio e kore rawa tetahi mea e kaha ki te momotu i a matau i to aroha
i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, i to matau Ariki. Amine.

ki a Ihu Karaiti to matau Ariki. Amine.

For those who mourn

Father,
you know our hearts and share our sorrows.
We are hurt by our parting from those whom we loved:

turn our grief to truer living,
our affliction to firmer hope
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

mo era katoa ka maumaharatia i tenei ra;
whakaritea i roto i a ratau te koronga o tou aroha;
a, kawea ake tatau ngatahi ki tou koa mutunga kore;
ko Ihu Karaiti hoki to matau Ariki. Amine.
