Please pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. N, a long-time resident priest of my parish who retired in October and died on Sunday evening. He was 88.

I didn’t know Father well at all, but the few times we did interact he was always kind to me, which apparently was unusual because he was known for being quite stern. His funeral Mass will be held on Friday.

Requiescat pater in pacem.
 
Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.

Amen.
 
May he rest in peace.

Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.

Amen
 
Lord, grant your servant, Father N, eternal repose in your loving arms. Comfort all those who suffer from this loss, and lead all those to heaven with help from his example and the guidance of holy angels. Mary, pray with us. Amen.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Jesus saves!
 
Lord, please have mercy on his soul and grant him eternal rest.

Our Father…

Amen.
 
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
 
My gratitude to all who are praying for Fr. N. 🙂

I attended his funeral yesterday—the first time I’ve been to a priest’s funeral—and it was a beautiful experience. Our priests are truly a treasure.

Thank you again.Sauve-nous, Seigneur, quand nous veillons ; garde-nous quand nous dormons ; *nous veillerons avec le Christ *et nous reposerons en paix.

Maintenant, ô Maître souverain, +
tu peux laisser ton serviteur s’en aller
en paix, selon ta parole.

Car mes yeux ont vu le salut
que tu préparais à la face des peuples :

lumière qui se révèle aux nations
et donne gloire à ton peuple Israël.

Sauve-nous, Seigneur, quand nous veillons ; garde-nous quand nous dormons ; *nous veillerons avec le Christ *et nous reposerons en paix.

—Nunc Dimittis, Compline (French breviary)
 
Eternal life grant unto him O Lord
may pereptual light shine upon him
and may he rest in peace Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
