Prayer for The Forgotten Dead

O Merciful God, take pity on those souls who have no particular friends and intercessors to recommend them to Thee; those who through the negligence of the loving or through length of time are forgotten by their friends and by all. Spare them, compassionate Lord, and remember thine own mercy, when others forget to appeal to it. Let not the souls which Thou hast created by parted from thee, their Creator. They are the work and, though they have sinned, they have been redeemed by thee. Vouchsafe, therefore, to look upon them and to deliver them from the intolerable pain of absence from Thee, the light and love of all thy creatures. Oh, place them in the number of they blessed Saints and citizens through Jesus Christ, their Savior. Amen.
