Prayer for the Departed

Prayer for the Departed

Have mercy, Lord Jesus Christ, upon the souls of those who are already beyond the grave, yet still in need of purification, that in the fire of suffering and torment they may be granted the garment of holiness. Remember, Lord, that for their redemption You took on a human body and became one of us. Have mercy upon their weeping and prayers which they raise to You, and release them from their punishments. And what they lack for attaining eternal happiness, supplement with Your merits and the merits of Your Most Holy Mother and all the saints.

Grant them Your saving hand and lead them into the bright places of coolness, rest, and peace. God, You desire the salvation of all people, for they are Your children. Therefore we ask You: grant the bliss of Heaven to our departed fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, and to all relatives, the virtuous and friends, to those who died a violent, unexpected death, to those most forgotten and most in need of help, and to all the dead. Remember them all, Lord. Amen.
