Prayer: Solemn Blessing for All Souls
In his great love,
the God of all consolation gave us the gift of life.
May he bless you with faith
in the resurrection of his Son,
and with the hope of rising to new life. Amen.
To us who are alive
may he grant forgiveness,
and to all who have died
a place of light and peace. Amen.
As you believe that Jesus rose from the dead,
so may you live with him forever in joy.
May almighty God bless you,
the Father, + and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thank you for this blessing. For me it is so consoling when the priest pronounces one of these beautiful blessings after Mass. It is truly a "blessing".
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynda. This is one of my favorite feasts of the liturgical year. It is good for us to remember our ancestors in the faith. They strengthen us.
