Prayer For Our Dead Loved Ones

Accept, O merciful God,
the prayers which I offer for them,
and call them to the glory of Heaven.
I recommend to You the souls of my relatives,
friends and benefactors,
and in a special manner
of those to whom I may have been an occasion of sin
by my bad example.
Most Holy Virgin,
Mother of Mercy,
Comforter of the afflicted,
intercede for those souls, that,
by your powerful intercession,
they may be admitted to enjoy that Kingdom
which is prepared for them.

Amen.


Almighty God, Who by the love
which You have for men,
have willed to take our humanity,
to live a life of hard work,
to suffer a most cruel Passion,
and finally to die on the Cross,
I beseech You,
by the infinite merits purchased for us
with Your Precious Blood,
look mercifully on the suffering
which is endured by the holy souls in Purgatory.Amen


Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that the soul of Thy servant Bishop (Name here), which Thou hast taken from the toilsome conflict of this world, may have fellowship among Thy saints. Through Christ our Lord. Amen


May the light of Jesus and the Angels bring Peace and Salvation to my dad. May he rest in peace knowing that his soul belongs to GOD and GOD only. No demon, no devil, no principality, no evil spirit has access to his light and salvation. All is well with us DAD go home and rest. We love you and one day soon we will see you in HEAVEN!


We thank You Lord for the passing of our brother/sister. We exalt Your name for the good life he/she lived. We pray oh Lord, that everlasting life be given unto him or her. And as he or she abides in Your garden, let Your angels touch what he/she cannot touch again. Father, be with his/her soul and may he/she rest in perfect eternal peace. Amen


I commend you, my dear [name] to almighty God, and entrust you to your Creator.

May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth.

May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life.

May Christ who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace.

May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise.

May Christ, the true Shepherd, embrace you as one of his flock.

May he forgive all your sins, and set you among those he has chosen.

May you see your Redeemer face to face, and enjoy the vision of God, forever.


O Lord, your sorrowing Mother stood by your cross; help us in our sorrows to share your sufferings.

Like the seed buried in the ground, you have produced the harvest of eternal life for us; make us always dead to sin and alive to God.

Shepherd of all, in death you remained hidden from the world; teach us to love our hidden spiritual life with you and the Father.

In your role as the new Adam, you went down among the dead to release all the just there since the beginning; grant that all who are dead in sin may hear your voice and rise to new life.

Son of the living God, you have allowed us through baptism to be buried with you; grant that we may also rise with you in baptism and walk in newness of life. Amen.


Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
