    ORDER FOR THE BLESSING

    OF THE DEAD
    INTRODUCTION

    Presider: My dear friends, we gather today


    to pray for the souls of our brothers and sisters.
    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 grant
    to the souls of our brothers and sisters,
    the reward of their labors.

    LITANY
    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
    Saint John the Baptist
    Saint Joseph
    Saint Peter and Paul
    Saint Andrew
    Saint Stephen
    Saint Ann,
    Saint Teresa
    Saint Catherine
    Saint Lorenzo Ruiz
    Saint Pedro Calungsod
    All holy men and women

    Christ, pardon all their faults Lord, hear our prayer.


    Christ, remember the good they have done
    Christ, receive them into eternal life
    Christ, comfort all those who mourn
    Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
    Christ, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
    Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

    PRAYER OF BLESSING

    Presider:
    All-powerful God,
    whose mercy is never withheld
    from those who call upon you in hope,
    look kindly on your servants,
    who departed from this life confessing your name,
    and number them among your saints for evermore.
    We ask this through Christ our Lord.

    All:
    Amen.

    The choir sings “Requiem Aeternam” while the presider sprinklesthe holy souls box with holy water
    and, if desired, may also incense them.
    Requiem Aeternam
    Presider:
    Hail Mary,
    Full of Grace,
    The Lord is with thee.
    Blessed art thou among women,
    and blessed is the fruit
    of thy womb, Jesus.
    Holy Mary,
    Mother of God,
    pray for us sinners now,
    and at the hour of our death.

    Amen.

    CONCLUDING PRAYER

    Presider: Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.

    All: And let perpetual light shine upon them.

    Presider: May they rest in peace.

    All: Amen.

    Presider: May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed,
    through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

    All: Amen.
