In Memoria

"When we love, we remember; and this memory, the effect of love, is not a barren thought. It resolves itself into deeds for the loved one. Why, when sorrow is united with faith, should not our sad memories resolve themselves into sentiments sweet and precious to the soul? To recall the features, the accents, the manners, and the sentiments of a loved one is still to see him, to hear him, to touch him, and to associate him with the joys and sorrows which he formerly shared." - Gergeres

​"​On this day every priest may celebrate three Requiem Masses: (1) for a specific intention, (2) for all the faithful departed and (3) for the Holy Father's intentions. This privilege was granted by Pope Benedict XV in Incruentum altaris (1915)" - General Instruction of the Roman Missal 396

​"O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Thy servants and handmaids the remission of all their sins, that they may obtain by loving prayers the forgiveness which they have always desired."
- Collect from First Mass

"O God, the Lord of mercies, grant to the souls of Thy servants and handmaids, an abode of refreshment, the beatitude of rest, and the brightness of light."
- Collect from Second Mass

​"O God, the bestower of pardon and lover of man's salvation, we beseech Thy clemency, through the intercession of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, and all Thy saints, that the brethren who has passed out of this world may together enjoy everlasting happiness. " 
​- Collect from Third Mass
