We pray for our dearly departed love ones and those who have no particular friends and
intercessors to recommend them to Thee, who, either through the negligence of those who are
alive, or through the length of time are forgotten, by their friends and by all, that they may rest in
peace. Let us pray to the Lord.

Response: Lord, here us.
