One of the prayers I pray every night is the traditional prayer for the faithful departed. Given that I have heard in recent days of the passing of several friends of friends and others, I thought I would share that now.
“O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, we beseech Thee to grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of all their sins, so that through pious supplications they may obtain pardon which they have always desired, through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
Memorize it, folks. It is a very useful prayer to pray many times throughout the day.
