Byzantine Catholic Prayer for the Deceased
O Lord, grant rest to the soul of Your departed servant
Larry in a place of light, a place of green pasture, a place
of refreshment, where all pain, sorrow, and sighs have
fled away. As a good God Who loves humankind, forgive
every sin committed by him, in word, deed, or thought,
for there is no person who lives and does not sin. For
You are without sin, Your righteousness is everlasting,
and Your Word is truth. Through Christ Our Lord, amen
Prayer to the Blessed Mother in a Time of Bereavement
O sweet mother Mary, you knew the sadness
of mourning those your heart loved most:
Jesus, your Son, and Joseph, your devoted spouse.
Please pray for all affected in this time of loss.
Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
