O Sovereign Lord, who in Your infinite wisdom, justice, and mercy, governs all creation, we humbly come before You today to pray for the soul of [Name], who has departed from this life outside the visible bounds of the Holy Catholic Church.
You alone know the hearts of men and the mysteries of Your grace. We entrust [Name] to Your loving care, knowing that Your mercy is boundless and Your justice is perfect.
Grant, O Lord, that in Your compassionate judgment, You may look upon [Name]’s faith in You and the love they bore towards Your Holy Name. Forgive any sins they may have committed, whether in thought, word, or deed.
In Your mercy, purify their soul, and if it be in accordance with Your divine will, welcome them into the eternal joy of Your heavenly kingdom. May they behold Your face in glory and be united with all the saints and angels in praising You forever.
O Mary, Mother of Mercy, intercede for [Name] and bring their soul before Your Divine Son. May all the saints, including St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Joseph, the patron of a happy death, pray for [Name]’s swift entry into eternal rest.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.… Read the rest
