Seasonal & Liturgical Prayers
Prayer for All Souls
The Requiem aeternam with the collect Fidelium Deus, prayed on All Souls' Day, at funerals, and at graves in November.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.
O God, the creator and redeemer of all the faithful,
grant to the souls of your servants departed
the remission of all their sins;
that through our devout prayers
they may obtain the pardon they have always desired.
May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Roman Missal, Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
