All: Almighty and everlasting God, you have dominion over the living and the dead, and you are merciful to
all who you foreknow will be yours by faith and good works; we humbly beg you that those for whom we
intend to pour forth our prayers, whether this present world still detain them in the flesh, or the world to
come has already received them out of their bodies, may, through the intercession of all your saints, by the
clemency of your goodness, obtain the remission of all their sins, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
