be delivered from all evils here on earth
and be made worthy to reach eternal glory
in the life to come.
Through Christ our Lord. AMEN

II. Lord God,
give to your people the joy
of continual health in mind and body.
With the prayers of the Virgin Mary to help us,
guide us through the sorrows of this life
to eternal happiness in the life to come.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. AMEN.

III. God of mercy,
give us strength.
May we who honor the memory

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever
and ever. AMEN.
