PRAYER FOR THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED SOULS

Leader: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

ALL SOULS ROSARY

All: We realize, O Lord, that our final reconciliation with You must come by the way of death. Help us through,

to reconcile ourselves, the inevitably of death itself. Help us see beyond death to rebirth in God. We know not

how or when we will die, but be it fast or slow, difficult or easy, we pray that You will be close. We believe that

those who die in Christ, will rise to new life. We believe that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. We believe

that we shall live and never die the death of sin, as long as we remain faithful to You. At the time of death, we

celebrate the new life of the one who has died. Still, we also grieve the loss of our faithful departed (mention

name here) for which this Holy Rosary is being offered. Please support us who remain behind and comfort

us with the knowledge that a person who died in Christ now lives in eternal joy. You told us that those who

mourn are blessed, because they shall be comforted. We trust in Your compassion and comfort. We rejoice in

our newborn saint. We are confident that our greatest comfort will be to share one day in the happiness of

heaven, reunited to our loved ones in our union with Christ. O Lord, we would also like to pray for all the living,

that we might be reconciled to our own need, to die in order to rise, that we might be reconciled to the loss of a

dear friend, and that finally, we might be fully reconciled to You in heaven’s joy. AMEN

Leader: O good Jesus, have mercy on the soul of _______________

All: And grant him/her eternal rest. AMEN.

 THE HOLY ROSARY

The Apostle’s Creed

All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our

Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontious Pilate, was

crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell, the third day He rose again from the dead. He

ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty. From then He shall come

again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of

Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. AMEN.
