“God of the living and the dead,
accept our prayers for those who have died in Christ
and are buried with him in the hope of rising again.
In your mercy grant them rest.”
Amen.

Catholic Prayers for a Deceased Relative or Friend
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
——————————
I commend you, my dear [name] to almighty God, and entrust you to your Creator. May you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth. May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life. May Christ who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise. May Christ, the true Shepherd, embrace you as one of his flock. May he forgive all your sins, and set you among those he has chosen. May you see your Redeemer face to face, and enjoy the vision of God, forever.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Some people think it’s morbid to think about death.
I disagree.
It’s healthy to think about death.
It puts things in perspective and reminds us what really matters.
The inevitability of death should inspire us to get busy living.
May the angels lead you into paradise: may the martyrs come to welcome you.
May choirs of angels welcome you.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
