Prayers for the Feast of All Souls

 Trappist Cemetery ~ Our Lady of Gethsemani ~ Kentucky



For the Departed

Eternal Lord God, you hold all souls in life: Give to your whole Church in paradise and on earth your light and your peace; and grant that we, following the good examples of those who have served you here and are at rest, may at the last enter with them into your unending joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. 


Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to you our brothers and sisters, who were reborn by water and the Spirit in Holy Baptism. Grant that their deaths may recall to us your victory over death, and be an occasion for us to renew our trust in your Father's love. Give us, we pray, the faith to follow where you have led the way; and where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Sprit, to the ages of ages. Amen.
