Prayer for the Holy Souls

Prayer for the Holy Souls

O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the deep pit; Deliver them from the lion’s mouth, that hell engulf them not, nor they fall into darkness, but let Michael, the holy standard bearer, bring them into the Holy Light which Thou once promised to Abraham and his seed we offer Thee, O Lord, sacrifices and prayers of praise; Do Thou accept them for those souls whom we this day commemorate; Grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to the life which Thou once didst promise to Abraham and his seed.
