for deceasedThis is an ancient prayer from the Byzantine tradition (Compendium of the Catholic Church), to be said for the deceased.
God of spirits and of all flesh,
who has trampled on death,
who has brought the devil to nothing
and gave your life to the world;
Give yourself,
Lord, to the soul of your deceased servant N... the rest in a bright place,
green and cool, far from suffering,
pain and groaning.
May the good and merciful God
forgive him all his sins
committed in word, deed and thought.
For there is no man
who lives and does not sin;
you alone are without sin,
your righteousness is righteousness for ever and
your word is truth.
O Christ our God, since you are the Resurrection,
the life and the rest of your deceased servant N...,
we give you thanks with your uncreated Father
and with your most holy, good and life-giving Spirit,
today and for ever. Amen.
May they rest in peace. Amen.

Losing a loved one is often a daunting ordeal.
If we consider death as the end of biological life, it is also a passage to the fullness of real life. Praying for a deceased person is asking that he or she may experience this passage of heavenly joy. Remember these words from Sacred Scripture: "It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be delivered from their sins" (2M 12:46).
