Let us bless Christ, the compassionate and merciful Lord,

who wipes away the tears of those who weep.

Let us cry out to him in love and ask:

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Lord Jesus, you console the humble,

be attentive to the tears of he poor.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Merciful God, hear the cries of the dying,

comfort them with your presence.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Make exiles aware of your providential care,

may they return to their homes on earth and finally enter their home in heaven.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Be merciful to sinners who have fallen away from your love,

reconcile them to yourself and to your Church.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Save our brothers and sisters who have died,

let them share in the fullness of redemption.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Now, gathering our prayers and praises into one,

let us together offer the prayer Christ himself taught us.

Our father…
