Like everyone else, we too paid visit and offered prayers for our love ones who have gone before us. For me, both my parents already passed away, my mom just this year - March and I miss them very much. Though going to the cemetery to visit them is always a part of almost all of our Sundays, we made it point to visit today, offered special flowers and prayers.
A Prayer for Deceased Parentsby Scott P. Richert
O God, who hast commanded us to honor our father and our mother; in Thy mercy have pity on the souls of my father and mother, and forgive them their trespasses; and make me to see them again in the joy of everlasting brightness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Eternal Rest
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
