Most merciful Father, we commend
our departed into your
hands. We are filled with the sure
hope that our departed will rise again
on the Last Day with all who have
died in Christ. We thank you for all
the good things you have given during
our departed’ earthly life.
O Father , in your great mercy,
accept our prayer that the Gates of
Paradise may be opened for your servant.
In our turn, may we too be
comforted by the words of faith until
we greet Christ in glory and we are
united with you and our departed.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen
