Requiem aeternam....

Merciful Father,
hear our prayer and console us....
...As we renew our faith in Your Son,
whom You raised from the dead...
...strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in His resurrection...
...who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever....
Amen.
--Opening Prayer
Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls' Day)
