LET US PRAY.
O GOD! the author of mercy, the lover of the salvation of mankind, we address thy clemency on behalf of our brethren, relations and benefactors, who are departed this life, that by the intercession of blessed Mary ever Virgin, and of all the saints, thou wouldst receive them into the enjoyment of eternal happiness, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
