O God, the giver of pardon, and lover of human salvation, we beseech Thy clemency to grant that the brethren, relations, and benefactors of our congregation, who are departed this world, may, by the intercession of the blessed Mary, ever virgin, and of all Thy saints, attain to the fellowship of eternal beatitude.

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, give to the souls of Thy servants departed, men and women, the remission of all their sins, that by pious supplications they may attain the pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest, with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

R. Amen.

V. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord.

R. And let perpetual light shine on them.
