Prayer for the Dead by St. Alphonsus Liguori


My God! I recommend to Thee the souls of my relations, my benefactors, my friends, and my enemies, and of those who are in purgatory on my account.

I recommend to Thee the souls of evangelical laborers, of religious and priests, and especially of those who had charge of my soul.

I recommend to Thee the souls of those who were most devout to the Passion of Our Lord, to the Blessed Sacrament, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the souls who are most abandoned, those who suffer most, and those who are nearest to the entrance into Paradise. Amen.
