LET US PRAY.
DEPART, O Christian soul, out of this miserable world, in the name of God the Father Almighty, who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who suffered for thee; in the name of the Holy Ghost, who sanctified thee; in the name of the Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations, Cherubim and Seraphim; in the name of the patriarchs and prophets, of the holy apostles and evangelists, of the holy martyrs and confessors, of the holy monks and hermits, of the holy virgins and of all the Saints of God; let thy place be this day in peace, and thy abode in holy Sion: Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
GOD of clemency, God of goodness! O God! who, according to the multitude of thy mercies, forgivest the sins of such as repent, and graciously remittest the guilt of their past offences; mercifully regard this thy servant, N., and grant him [her] a full discharge from all his [her] sins, who most earnestly begs it of thee. Renew, O most merciful Father! whatever is corrupt in him [her] through human frailty, or by the snares of the enemy; make him [her] a true member of the Church, and let him [her] partake of the fruit of thy redemption. Have compassion, O Lord! on his [her] tears, and admit him [her] to the sacrament of thy reconciliation, who has no hope but in thee: Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
I RECOMMEND thee, dear brother [sister], to Almighty God, and commit thee to his mercy, whose creature thou art; that having paid the common debt by surrendering thy soul, thou mayest return to thy Maker, who formed thee out of the earth. May, therefore, the noble company of Angels meet thy soul at its departure; may the court of the Apostles receive thee; may the triumphant army of glorious martyrs
