Catholic Prayer

O God! great and omnipotent Judge of the living and the dead!

before Whom we are all to appear after this short life, to render an account of our works. Let our hearts, we pray

Thee, be deeply moved at this sight of death, and while we consign the body of the deceased to the earth, let us be

mindful of our own frailty and mortality, that walking always in thy fear and

in the ways of Thy commandments, we may after our departure from this world

experience a merciful judgment and rejoice in everlasting happiness, through

Christ our Lord.
