Mahitungod niining pag-ampo
These original intercessions may be prayed by family and friends. They are devotional prayers, not the official Catholic funeral rites; arrange the liturgical celebration with the parish.
Teksto sa pag-ampo
God of tenderness, we gather in sorrow and in hope to remember the person who has died. Receive them into your mercy, forgive their sins, and bring them to the fullness of life with you. We thank you for the gifts of their life and entrust what was unfinished to your compassion. Comfort those who mourn, especially anyone carrying loneliness, regret or fear. Give us patience with one another’s grief and courage for the days ahead. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, strengthen our hope that love is not lost in you. Amen.
Dugang nga pag-ampo sa komunidad
Wala usba ang orihinal nga pag-ampo sa ibabaw. Kining lahi nga bersiyon sa komunidad adunay dugang nga mga tuyo ug tubag. Usa ang mangulo ug ang tanan motubag sa gitakdang mga bahin.
Let us gather in the presence of God, remembering those who pray with us and those who cannot be here. We bring our gratitude, our needs, and our willingness to care for one another.
God of love, unite our hearts in prayer and teach us to serve you together.

For the person whose death we mourn, receive them in your mercy and fulfil the hope of resurrection in Christ.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
For those gathered in grief, give room for tears and quiet remembering; teach us to support one another in the days ahead.
Lord, hear our prayer, and help us become instruments of your mercy.
Pause for silent prayer. Intentions may be offered aloud freely; no one is required to share.
For the intentions spoken and those held quietly in our hearts, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, receive our prayer and sustain us in your love.
Let us entrust ourselves and those for whom we have prayed to the Father.
Merciful Father, receive our prayer through Jesus Christ. Where we can offer help, make us willing; where we must wait, give us patience. Keep us attentive to one another beyond this gathering. May the grace of this prayer take root in our homes, our work, and our choices, so that your love becomes visible through our lives. Amen.
