Pray for Deceased Priests and Deacons - Diocese of Lake Charles

In this month of November when we pray for All Souls, please remember the deceased priests and deacons of the Diocese of Lake Charles. May they rest in peace!

A Prayer for Deceased Priests

O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant,
to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ,
according to the Order of Melchisedech,
giving him the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice,
to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar,
and to absolve the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name.
We beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to forget his faults,
admitting him speedily into Thy Holy Presence,
there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labors.
This we ask through Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord.
Amen.

A Prayer for Deceased Deacons

Heavenly Father,
since the time of the Apostles
you have inspired the Church
to commission certain members
to assist in a special way
in the pastoral mission of Christ.
Bless these deacons
who have served humble and faith-inspired lives
and gone to their rest with you,
in the hopes of rising again. May they rest in peace.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
