All Souls’ Day is observed on November 2. A cemetery visit can be a time to remember the dead, pray for them, and support those who grieve. This devotional sequence combines the traditional Eternal Rest prayer, familiar common prayers, and the prayer for the departed from the historical Litany of the Saints. Introductory directions are site-authored. It is not a priest’s rite of blessing a grave, and no claim about indulgences is made here.
Au nom du Père, et du Fils, et du Saint-Esprit, Amen.

AVIS SUR LES TRADUCTIONS · Traduction provisoire : en attente de révision indépendante.
Prayers and Reflections s’engage à proposer des prières et des textes de dévotion catholiques fidèles et exacts dans différentes langues.
Certaines prières sont reproduites à partir de sites catholiques et de publications de dévotion existantes. Bien que ces sources soient choisies avec soin, toutes les traductions ne disposent pas d’une approbation ecclésiastique documentée et n’ont pas toutes fait l’objet d’une vérification linguistique et théologique indépendante.
Certaines traductions peuvent donc présenter des différences involontaires, des variantes de formulation ou des inexactitudes.
Notre travail de vérification et d’amélioration des traductions se poursuit. Nous accueillons volontiers les corrections et suggestions des membres du clergé, des spécialistes catholiques et des personnes de langue maternelle ayant les connaissances nécessaires.
La présence d’une prière n’implique pas une approbation officielle de l’Église catholique, sauf si cette approbation est expressément indiquée et vérifiée.

English master notice
Prayers and Reflections is committed to providing faithful and accurate Catholic prayers and devotional materials in different languages.
Some prayers are reproduced from existing Catholic websites and devotional publications. Although these sources are selected carefully, not all translations have documented ecclesiastical approval or have undergone independent linguistic and theological verification.
Some translations may therefore contain unintentional differences, variations in wording, or inaccuracies.
Our translation verification and improvement process is ongoing. We welcome corrections and suggestions from clergy, Catholic scholars, and knowledgeable native speakers.
The inclusion of a prayer does not imply official approval by the Catholic Church unless such approval is expressly identified and verified.
