"In memory of the dead"

"In memory of the dead"

(a prayer for All Saints and All Souls)




O God, thou merciful and gracious in the heavens, may the passed be given an eternal rest through your bosom along with the angels and saints. May you, and the lord Jesus Christ your son guide them and its surviving, and that may their memories be remembered, and Pardon every transgression which they have committed, whether by word, deed, or thought.

Everlasting is their heritage, and may the heavens be their home, in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away, and that life everlasting be given, all for a world that is to come.

Amen.
