O God, bountiful in forgiving,
and lovingly desirous of man's salvation,
we humbly ask Your mercy in behalf of our friends,
relations and benefactors,
who have passed from this world, that,
through the intercession of Blessed Mary ever Virgin
and all the Saints,
You would permit them to come
to the full participation of everlasting happiness.
Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
