(PV36)

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 are united with you and our departed.

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen.
