Remember, O Lord, all who have been buried without
prayer.
Receive, O Lord, into Thy dwellings all who have died of
sorrow or joy by a sudden or untimely death.
O Lord of unutterable Love, remember Thy servants who
have fallen asleep.
We are to blame for the calamities in the world, for the
sufferings of dumb creatures, and for the diseases and
torments of innocent children, for through the fall of man the
beatitude and beauty of all creation has been marred. O
Christ our God, greatest of innocent Sufferers! Thou alone
canst forgive all. Forgive, then, all and everything, and grant
to the world its primordial prosperity, that the living and the
dead may rejoice and cry: ALLELUIA.
O Glad Light, Redeemer of the world, embracing the whole
universe with Thy love: behold, Thy cry from the Cross for
Thy enemies is heard: "Father, forgive them." In the name of
Thy all-forgiving love we make bold to pray to our Heavenly
Father for the eternal repose of Thy enemies and ours.
Forgive, O Lord,
those who have shed innocent blood,
those who have sown our path of life with sorrows,
