For all our brothers and sisters who rest in the Verano Cemetery and in all the graveyards in Rome and of the world, may the words of Christ in the Sermon on the Mount become the Good News of eternal salvation.
May the kingdom of heaven be theirs.
May they possess it as a Promised Land."
May they have eternal joy.
May they be satisfied in their hunger and thirst for righteousness.
May they be called the children of God forever.
May they see God face to face.
May their joy and happiness be full and unlimited.
Let us pray:
O God, the glory of believers and the life of the just who saved us by the death and resurrection of your Son, be merciful to our deceased brothers and sisters. When they were in our midst they professed faith in the resurrection; give them endless bliss. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer of Pope John Paul II
May all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, OCDS
