Eternal Rest

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.

Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen (Salve Regina)

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,

Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope! 

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.

To thee do we send up our sighs, 

mourning and weeping in this valley of tears!

Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, 

thine eyes of mercy toward us,

and after this, our exile,

show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 

O clement, O loving, 

O sweet Virgin Mary

Prayer of St Teresa of Avila

Christ has no body on earth now but yours,

No hands but yours,

No feet but yours,

Yours are the eyes which look out Christ's compassion to the world;

Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good;

Yours are the hands with which he is to bless people now.

Amen
