    Catholic Prayers for the Departed

    Prayer for All The Faithful Departed


    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.

    Prayer for Eternal Rest


    In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
    In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
    deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.
    The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise,
    where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with
    your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

    Prayer for Departed Loved Ones


    God our Father, Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives,
    and by Your command, we return to dust.
    Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
    their lives change but do not end. I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends,
    and for all the dead known to You alone. In company with Christ,
    Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
    where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family,
    to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen.

    Prayer of Commendation
    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.
    Amen.

    Prayer for Deceased Parents


    O God, Who has commanded us to honor our father and mother,
    have compassion in Thy mercy, on the souls of my father and mother;
    forgive them their sins, and grant that I may see them in the joy of eternal brightness.
    Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
    Prayer for Forgotten Souls

    O merciful God, take pity on those souls who have no particular friends and intercessors
    to recommend them to Thee, who, either through the negligence of those who are alive,
    or through the length of time are forgotten by their friends and by all.

    Spare them, O Lord, and remember Thine own mercy, when others forget to appeal to it.
    Let not the souls which Thou hast created be parted from thee, their Creator.
    May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
    Amen.

    Prayer for the Dying


    Go forth, Christian soul, from this world in the name of God the almighty Father,
    who created you, in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,
    who suffered for you, in the name of the Holy Spirit,
    who was poured out upon you, go forth, faithful Christian.
    May you live in peace this day, may your home be with God in Zion,
    with Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, with Joseph, and all the Angels and Saints. Amen.

    Prayer at the Hour of Death


    Eternal rest grant unto him/her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him/her.
    May he/she rest in peace. Amen.

    May his/her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,
    rest in peace. Amen.

    Let us pray.

    All-powerful and merciful God, we commend to you (Name) your servant.


    In your mercy and love, blot out the sins he/she has committed
    through human weakness. In this world he/she has died:
    let him/her live with you forever. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
