Prayer for the Holy Souls (Our Departed Brothers and Sisters)

November is the month is the Church set aside to pray for the dead (although we should remember them in prayer all the time!) This prayer is from the Association of Marian Helpers. Visit them at www.marian.org or at prayforsouls.org.

Prayer for the Holy Souls

(for all our departed brothers and sisters)

Merciful Father, hear our prayer and console us. As we renew our faith in Your Son, whom You raised from the dead, strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in His resurrection, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Eternal rest grant unto them, O lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. 

Amen.
