Dear Lord, please watch over the soul of Antonin Scalia and bring him swiftly into Your presence.
St. Thomas More, patron of lawyers and judges and of the diocese in which Justice Scalia lived, I ask you also to intercede on his behalf.
Lord, please also comfort and console his family, friends, and all who are saddened by his death.
(Since Justice Scalia regularly attended the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, I include the Collect from the Mass on the Day of Death: )
Deus, qui proprium est misereri semper et parcere, te supplices exoramus pro anima famuli tui Antonin, quam hodie de hoc sæculo migrare jussisti: ut non tradas eam in manus inimici, neque obliviscaris in finem, sed jubeas eam a sanctis Angelis suscipi, et ad patriam paradisi derduci; ut, quia in te speravit et credidit, non poenas inferni sustineat, sed gaudia æterna possideat. Per dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculorum.
(Trans: O God, whose property is ever to have mercy and to spare, we humbly entreat Thee on behalf of the soul of Thy servant Antonin, whom Thou hast bidden this day to pass out of this world: that Thou wouldst not deliver him into the hands of the enemy nor forget him for ever, but command him to be taken up by the holy Angels, and to be borne to our home in paradise, that as he had put his faith and hope in Thee he may not undergo the pains of hell but may possess everlasting joys. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.)
