Mass for the Dead  (Various Commemorations)

Entrance Antiphon
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,

and fill their souls with splendor.

Collect
O God, who willed that your Only Begotten Son, 

having conquered death,

should pass over into the realm of heaven,

grant, we pray, to your departed servants

that, with the mortality of this life overcome,

they may gaze eternally on you,

their Creator and Redeemer.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God, for ever and ever.

Prayers Over the Offerings
Look with favor, we pray, O Lord,

on the sacrificial offerings

we present to you for the souls of your servants

and, just as you bestowed on them

the dignity of the Christian faith,

grant them also its reward.
Through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antiphon (1 Jn 4: 9)
God sent his Only Begotten Son into the world,

so that we might have life through him.

Prayer after Communion
Through these sacrificial gifts,

which we have received, O Lord,

bestow on your departed servants your great mercy,

and, to those you have endowed with the grace of Baptism,

grant also the fullness of eternal joy.

Through Christ our Lord.
