Forgiving and merciful God, may your goodness extend over all spirits who ask for our prayers, especially
the soul of our brother. Good spirits, whose only concern is to do good, intercede with me for their consolation. Make a ray of hope shine on their eyes, and may the divine light enlighten them regarding the imperfections that keep them from the dwelling place of the blessed. Open their hearts to repentance and the desire to purify themselves to hasten their advancement. Enable them to understand that, through their efforts, they may shorten the time of their trials. May God in his goodness give them the strength to persevere in their good resolutions! May these benevolent words soften their suffering by
showing them that there are people on the earth who sympathize with them and desire their happiness.
