    ORDER OF FAMILY PRAYERS ON VISITING THE CEMETERY

    My dear friends, we gather today to pray for our brothers and sisters
    whose bodies lie here in rest. They have passed from death to life in company
    with the Lord Jesus, who died and rose to new life, and are purified now of their
    faults. We pray that God may welcome them among all the saints of heaven.
    READING OF THE WORD OF GOD
    Brothers and sisters, listen to the words of the first letter of Paul to the
    Thessalonians
    We shall stay with the Lord for ever. We do not want you to be unaware,
    brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not
    grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose,
    so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
    The Word of the Lord.
    Let our response be:
    R. To you, 0 Lord, I lift up my soul.
    In you I trust; let me not be put to shame, let not my enemies exult over me. No
    one who waits for you shall be put to shame; those shall be put to shame who
    heedlessly break faith.
    R. To you, 0 Lord, I lift up my soul.
    Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths, Guide me in your
    truth and teach me, for you are God my savior, and for you I wait all the day.
    R. To you, 0 Lord, I lift up my soul.
    LITANY for the Faithful Departed:
    Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy
    Christ, have mercy Christ, have mercy
    Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy
    Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for them
    Saint Michael, pray for them,
    Saint John the Baptist, pray for them
    Saint Joseph, pray for them
    Saint Peter, pray for them
    Saint Paul, pray for them
    Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for them.
    All holy men and women, pray for them
    Christ,
    Christ,
    Christ,
    Christ,

    pardon all their faults: Lord, hear our prayer


    remember the good they have done: Lord, hear our prayer
    receive them into eternal life: Lord, hear our prayer
    comfort all those who mourn: Lord, hear our prayer

    Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy


    Christ, have mercy Christ, have mercy
    Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy
    With Christ there is mercy and fullness of redemption; let us pray as Jesus taught
    us:
    All: Our Father . . .
    PRAYER
    Almighty God and Father, by the mystery of the cross, you have made us
    strong; by the sacrament of the resurrection you have sealed us as your own.
    Look kindly upon your servants, now freed from the bonds of mortality, and
    count them among your saints in heaven.
    We ask this through Christ our Lord.
    R. Amen.
    CONCLUDING RITE
    Eternal rest grant unto them, 0 Lord.
    R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
    May they rest in peace. R. Amen.
    May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
    rest in peace.
    R. Amen.
