Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 11/25



The Catholic funeral rite was revised in 1969 and then again in 1989. A text in the earlier edition is a beautiful prayer for November, the Month of All Souls.  You might pause for a moment and remember, perhaps even say aloud or write down the names of those who have died for whom you want to pray.  In whatever way you choose, bring those names to the Lord and then pray these words:

Peace be with those who have left us
and have gone to God.
May they be at peace.
May they be with God.

May they be with the living God.
May they be with the immortal God.
May they be in God's hands.

May they sleep in peace.
May they live in peace.
May they be where the name of God is great.

May they be with the living God
now and on the day of judgment.
May they live with God.
May they live in eternal light.

May they live in the peace of the Lord.
May they live forever in peace,
With God in peace.
Amen.
