How do you pray for the dead? Specifically I would like to pray for my mother and other people I know who have passed on.

Well one way is this…
Eternal rest grant unto (name) O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon them
May their soul and the souls of all the faithful departed
rest in peace
Amen.
Another way is to simply offer a set prayers or specific devotion for a given person or persons.
For instance pray a rosary or divine mercy chaplet for the repose of the soul of your mom.
Or you can just make up a set of prayer for the purpose. Say - maybe - three Our Fathers offered for the soul of someone.
Arranging for masses to be said is another good thing to be done. You can contact your parish office for this purpose. A small offering is generally made say five or ten dollars.
So any of these are perfectly acceptable ways to pray for the dead.
Peace

Pax Christi!
There are many good books and websites to help you in your devotion to the poor souls in Purgatory, as they are called. Also, in CAF there are groups dedicated to these souls, also called the Holy souls in Purgatory.
God bless.

Two powerful intercessors on behalf of the departed are Blessed Mary of Porvidence, foundress of the Society of the Helpers of the Holy Souls, and Saint Nicholas of Tolentino.
Prayer for the souls in Purgatory:

Be not severe in Your judgements, but let wome of Your Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames.
And, Merciful Savior, send Your angels to conduct them to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Hi janesansible,How do you pray for the dead? Specifically I would like to pray for my mother and other people I know who have passed on.
Do you mean what would be a really effective prayer? I think that prayers offered while at Eucharistic adoration have a great deal of potency. Or even having a mass offered in their name, which would have other members of your church praying for them too would be good.
Or are you asking if there is a special kind of prayer or ritual specifically for praying for the dead?
