A Prayer for the Faithful Departed
Prayer of intercession
The Church's ancient collect for all the faithful departed, 'Fidelium, Deus, omnium conditor', prayed on All Souls Day and whenever the dead are remembered.
O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants departed the remission of their sins, that, through pious supplications, they may obtain the pardon which they have always desired. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
