PRAYING FOR THE DEAD

"Bury my body wherever you will...One thing only I ask you, that you remember me at the altar of the Lord wherever you may be."
~St. Monica

"St. Thomas teaches that Christian charity extends not only to the living but also to all who have died in the state of grace. Hence, as we are bound to relieve our living neighbors who require our aid, so we are obliged to comfort these holy prisoners."
~St. Alphonsus Liguori
*******
PRAYER FOR ALL THE DEAD
Accept this prayer which I offer You, merciful Father, for those who have died, those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, and those whose faith in this life was known to You alone. Have mercy on them all and bring them into Your kingdom of peace and light without end where You and Your saints live in the happiness which this world has not known and cannot give. Amen.

Please pray for the repose of Sally Mezzacapa, a young woman who just passed. Thank you!!
