Eternal rest grant 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.
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.

Question, is “may their souls” commonly used? New Catholic here and my Laudate app omits that. It only includes faithful departed

May their souls… could grammatically be omitted if one were praying solely for the souls in Purgatory.
I often pray for a particular person who has died:
May his/her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed…
ETA: doing research after I post
, I think that when we pray for all the souls in Purgatory we pray without the his/her soul part, but when we pray for one or a group of people, we include the phrase, and go on to include all the rest of the souls in Purgatory.

You can eat any number of foods. I have been in grocery stores the past week or two that would have been considered as having abundant food in great variety in traditional cultures throughout the world — this in spite of some categories of food being cleaned out.
Alternatives to toilet paper, on the other hand, are rather limited.
Limited only by one’s creativity and aesthetic tolerance. I will “leave” it at that, as I do not wish to get flagged or dinged for posting perceived offensive content. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.HomeschoolDad:
Leaves?
I thought the other day, when I went to Walmart, yes, by American standards, many perceived staple foods were pretty much cleaned out. But Americans are kind of picky about what they will eat — a typical store will have 30 different types of pasta sauce, 10 brand names of white bread, potato chips in every flavor imaginable, and so on. In poor African countries, they’d just be tickled to death to have food, any food. Brands and variety really didn’t exist in the communist countries of Eastern Europe — you got what they had, and you were happy to have it. Traditionally, many poor Appalachian families more or less lived on pinto beans and cornbread, and fried bologna was a treat. And so on.

Fr. Giuseppe Berardelli, a 72-year-old priest in Bergamo, Italy, who gave a respirator (that his parishioners had purchased for him) to a younger patient (whom he did not know), has died from coronavirus.
“Greater love has no person than the one who lays down his life for his friends.” (Jn 15:13)
He is a “Martyr of Charity,” a saint like St. Maximilian Kolbe, who in Auschwitz volunteered to take the place of a condemned man with a family, and was killed.
Don Giuseppe Berardelli, patron of those who suffer from coronavirus and all who care for them, pray for us!

There’s a bbc article discussing Father’s sacrifice here.

Coronavirus: At least 50 priests killed by coronavirus
Earlier reports that one of them, Giuseppe Berardelli, gave his respirator away have been denied.

One feature of the coronavirus phenomenon - not the disease, but the social and cultural dynamics surrounding it - is that it’s upended normal routines, generating unexpected and, occasionally, surreal new experiences.

“Why are you afraid? Have you no faith”? Faith begins when we realise we are in need of salvation. We are not self-sufficient; by ourselves we flounder: we need the Lord, like ancient navigators needed the stars. Let us invite Jesus into the boats of our lives. Let us hand over our fears to him so that he can conquer them. Like the disciples, we will experience that with him on board there will be no shipwreck. Because this is God’s strength: turning to the good everything that happens to us, even the bad things. He brings serenity into our storms, because with God life never dies.
