Prayers for the Dead from Mass

Catholic Collect from the Mass for the Dead
[for all our departed brothers and sisters]
Merciful Father,
hear our prayer and console us.
As we renew our faith in Your Son,
whom You raised from the dead,
strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters
will share in His resurrection,
who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen
Requiem Aeternam
Eternal Rest grant unto them (him/her)O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them (him/her).
May they (he/she) rest in peace.
In Latin:
Requiem aeternam dona eis (ei)Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis (ei).
Requiescant (-at) in pace.
Amen.
Benedictine Collect for All Souls Day
We suppliants, O Lord,
pour forth our prayers for the souls of Thy servants and handmaids,
that Thou wouldst mercifully pardon whatsoever they have committed
through human frailty and graciously bring their sufferings to an end.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen
