Réquiem aetérnam....

Listen kindly to our prayers, O Lord...

...and, as our faith in your Son,
raised from the dead, is deepened...

 

...so may our hope of resurrection for your departed servants
also find new strength....

 

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. 

Amen.
