LIBERA ME
Libera me, Domine,
de morte aeterna,
in die illa tremenda
quando coeli movendi sunt et terra,
dum veneris judicare
saeculum per ignem
Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo
dum discussio venerit,
atque ventura ira.
Dies illa, dies irae,
calamitatis et miseriae,
dies magna et amara valde.
Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

TRANSLATION

Deliver me, O Lord,
from eternal death,
on that fearful day
when the heavens are moved and the earth
when thou shalt come to judge
the world through fire.
I am made to tremble, and I fear,
when the desolation shall come,
and also the coming wrath.
That day, the day of wrath,
calamity, and misery,
that terrible and exceedingly bitter day.
Rest eternal grant them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them.

A rather belated response to Rose's request for a prayer for the dead.

Domine Jesu Christi, Rex gloriae, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis inferni et de profundo lacu; libers eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum ; sed signifer sanctus Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus.
Hostias et preces tibi, bus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus; fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. Quam olim Abrahae...



O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the deep pit : deliver them from the mouth of the lion, lest they fall into darkness, lest hell swallow them up. But let Thy standardbearer, blessed Michael, bring them into that holy light : which of old Thou did promise to Abraham, and to his seed.
We offer to Thee, O Lord, this sacrifice of prayer and praise : do Thou receive it on behalf of those souls whose memory we this day recall : grant, O Lord, that they may pass from death to life : which of old Thou did promise to Abraham and to his seed.

From the "Rite of commending a departing Soul"

Dearest brother (sister), I commend you to almighty God, and I entrust you to Him Who created you, so that when by your dying you have paid the debt to which every man is subject, you may return to your Maker, to Him Who formed you from the clay of the earth.

And then, when your soul goes forth from your body, may the radiant company of angels come to meet you. May the assembly of the apostles, our judges, welcome you. May the white-robed martyrs meet you on your way. May the glittering throng of confessors, bright as lilies gather about you. May the glorious choir of virgins receive you. May the patriarchs enfold you in the embrace of blessed peace. May St. Joseph, beloved patron of the dying raise you high in hope, amd may the holy Mother of God,the Virgin Mary, lovingly turn her eyes toward you. And then, gentle and joyful, may Christ Jesus appear before you, to assign you a place forever among those who stand in His presence.
