My God, You have taken from us one
very dear to us in this world.
Vouchsafe yourself to supply the place
of name in my regard and to replace her/
him in my heart. The great consolation
which I have in her / his loss is the hope
that You have received her /him in the
bosom of Your mercy, and that You will
vouchsafe one day to unite us to her/him.
If a deficiency of satisfaction for her/ his
sins detain her/ him in suffering, I offer
You, for her/ his intention, all my prayers
and good works, and, above all, my resignation
in the loss which I have sustained;
render this resignation
complete and acceptable to You.
Amen.
