O Virgin most kind, Mary, Mother of God, most loving consoler of those in distress, commend to your Son the souls of the Faithful Departed so that, because of your motherly intervention, they may joyfully arrive in your company as their longed-for home in heaven.      Amen.

O Lord,
grant those who have died the joy of your presence,
and us who are living the happiness of knowing this.
