Prayer for Everlasting Life

Tender God of Mercy, You so loved us that You sent Your only Son, Jesus, to be our Redeemer. In Him, we have come to know You and love You. As we draw closer to You, we seek to share the Good News of Your powerful life-giving love.

In this month of the Holy Souls, we pray for all the faithful departed, and especially for the relatives, friends, and neighbors who brightened our lives. Make room for them in the embrace of Your love--and in Your enormous Heart (here pause to mention those you wish to specifically remember).

Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of God, and of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, I commend them to Your Divine Mercy. May they welcome them into Your heavenly garden.

Tender God of Mercy, may these souls, all who sleep in Christ, and all who seek You with a sincere heart, find in Your Presence light, happiness, and peace. Lead them to the fullness of the resurrection and gladden them with the light of Your Face. Amen.
